Chipotle Mexican Grill in Irvine

“This is probably the busiest chipotle I’ve been to and it has a drive thru although I went inside and these employees are working so fast! They are so focused. Better than in n out workers! I’ve gone to other chipotles and they be giving me lazy vibes. They also know how to give the right portion. I’ll be coming back ❤“

“This specific chipotle manager clearly has fine dining aspirations, which explains the atomic portion sizes. That, or my doctor called in and told them I was on a diet.

There I was, watching the server put in half a scoop of carne asada (their most expensive protein, mind you) before going back to give me just a bit more. Happy day! Imagine my astonishment when out of the three pieces of meat he scooped up, only one made it into my meal.

Some advice to save on costs: you don’t actually need the aluminum cover if your food doesn’t make it past the edge of the cardboard.

5/5 experience“

“Chipotle is always a nice option for a quick, delicious, macro friendly meal that is affordable and filling. Even on busy days the line moves quickly and the staff are efficient and provide nice portions or protein. There is some indoor seating and plenty of outdoor seating. The chips are some of the best, very crispy and perfectly seasoned with visible salt flakes“

“Service is not consistent. It could be busy at times which is normal since it is near UCI. When not busy it seems they don't refill the food or replace it. I wouldn't order online or ahead as the quality of the food they prepare is no good. Definitely order in person.“

“I came here 3 times before writing this review, as of my most recent visit, Dclan helped me out and man what can i say, his customer service is beyond great and the food quality and portions were amazing. I will be a regular now at this location. Keep up the great work ethic Dclan, you have a bright future ahead of you!“
