Chipotle Mexican Grill in Chicago

“I had a really good experience at this chipotle. Good food, good service and an amazing ambience. I had a burrito bowl and a side of honey chicken , both of which tasted delicious.

It is just a two minute walk from the Chicago Riverwalk.“

“I made a mess of their dining room on during a medical episode (I worked out on an empty stomach and drank too much water. Ill let you do the math there), and the staff did not make me feel bad, helped, and checked on me.

I also can verify that they cleaned up everything up to code and standards of health both for themselves as the employee but also keeping other customers safe.

Yes, I recognize some of that is a legal and liability issue, but they still treated me with kindness and care that I appreciated.“

“This Chipotle location is outstanding—easily one of the best I’ve visited. I’ll drive out of my way to visit this location. I’ve visited at many different times of day but the food never disappoints.

On top of that, the portions here are more generous than most other Chipotles I’ve been to.

My only feedback is that a lot of the tables were not cleaned. This was not a particularly busy period either. We had to wipe down our own table in order to dine in.“

“As someone who rarely dines out for lunch, I promised to leave a review on the superior customer service, quality meal & all around positive experience I had today. My order is very specific as I prefer for certain ingredients not to touch, the young lady making my bowl assured me it wasn’t an issue & took time adhering to my requests. I will be back, everyone had smiles & good energy too.“

“I got in and out so quick today, plus the service was so friendly and accommodating! Shoutout to everyone on the line today, Ulysses, Andy, Brandon! My bowl tasted fresh and the cashier even exchanged my chips for me with no problem (the first bag tasted a little blan to me; all tortilla chip and no lime or salt). At the end of it, everything hit the spot. I’m glad I stopped in.“

“I stopped by this location while in the area for work at Northwestern University, and it was a decent lunch experience. The restaurant wasn’t busy at all, which made the visit quick and convenient. Service was decent—friendly enough and efficient. My meal was fresh, hot, and prepared just the way I ordered it.

Overall, a reliable spot for a fast, satisfying lunch in the downtown area.“

“So the food was ammmaaazzzinnng! I’m talking best chipotle I’ve had and I’ve been eating chipotle for yearsss! Taste, temperature and freshness all on point. Employees don’t seem like they can manage a rush well since the line was half way down the block but they do try to and are friendly. The atmosphere is ok. Not the worst. Needs a little more cleaning and is kind of a tight space .“

“I got a steak bowl with rice & guacamole. About 50% of the meat was all fat. Flavor wasn't really present. I had to keep spitting chunks of fat every other bite. It was my 1st time trying out a Chipotle, probably my last. Especially for the price on the portions.“

“I went into this Chipotle expecting just normal service, but walked in and was greeted with a great welcoming environment with great
customer service. A girl by the name Dulce I think, was being friendly, patient, and able to handle all kinds of things while clearly taking orders, talking with coworkers, avoiding mistakes. This was prime time for lunch so there was a big line but the crew kept up during rushes without slowing down. The best thing was they did everything while getting my orders right, and following instructions exactly.“

“Been to this Chipotle many times. Service is nice and enjoy the staff. The only thing I have sometimes is with the chef who is cooking. The rice is sometimes filled with way too much lemon/lime flavor and it’s very strong. I’m okay with a bit of flavor but that is way too much“

“First off, I want to discuss the manager Julian all he does is goof off with his fellow coworkers, this staff blows. I went to this chipotle to have a good time with my boyfriends and the soda machine was out and was spraying everywhere squirting all over me like all over. Maybe Julian should do his job instead of roaming around“

“Alright tasting food. The reward system is decent to accumulate points for food redemption. Random drop deals encourage returning customer. The portion varies on who preps the food. Sometimes full like the pics and sometimes not that full. Luck of a straw.“

“This is very well run Chipotle, for some reason their food tastes better than most other locations, and other fast Mexican restaurant companies. Service is fast. The crew should be proud of their skill. Only negative is for Chipotle in general, charging extra for guacamole.“

“Daniel is a bro. Left my phone at work so couldn't pay with phone and came in with a $20 but instead of discounting tax he gave me a bogo deal. Couldnt walk out with the difference so I paid for extra medium drinks with our bowls. Clean food, Chipotle is oppressed how they are called mystery meat. It's cleaner than a fine dine. The best ✨“

“Chipotle Mexican Grill is a reliable neighborhood go-to that consistently delivers fresh, customizable, and high-quality meals that satisfy every time. I find their ingredients to be consistently fresh and well-prepared, making it an excellent choice for a quick and dependable lunch or dinner. I place an incredibly high premium on kitchen cleanliness and dining area maintenance, and I am consistently impressed by how tidy, well-organized, and professionally kept this location is—it is clear they take great pride in maintaining a sanitary and well-managed environment for their customers. The staff is consistently efficient, friendly, and does a great job of ensuring that service remains prompt even during busy hours. If you are looking for a trustworthy, high-quality spot that prioritizes both consistency and professional cleanliness standards, I highly recommend this Chipotle location“

“When Kai is around, it will take him a minute to get your order with a welcoming approach which I highly appreciated it normally in fast food places you’re not really expecting a good service but I just left the location and I couldn’t wait to put a review since it’s so rare
Thank you, Kai.“

“Sour cream everywhere! I got to this Chipotle and it was absolutely packed; line through both doors. The service was quick though, and I got my Chicken Al Pastor bowl pretty quickly. The only problem was this man absolutely drowned me in sour cream! The bowl was still good, and the chicken al pastor was saucy with a nice adobo flavor. Is it better than regular chicken? Maybe. I think I paid $11 for the bowl. I give it a 4 star review, although it would be funny to contribute to the “downfall” of Chipotle ?“

“I have never eaten Chipotle before. The service was excellent! Edgar, Alex, Julian and Ivette explained the menu to me and helped me decide which ingredients would taste the best. The food was good and the restaurant was clean. I recommend a visit.“

“Customer service literally 10/10 so understanding when I had trouble with a mobile order Xochi made everything right and went above and beyond for me and my husband when we were at a loss.

Thank you to Xochi and the hard working team as we know how difficult it is to operate such a good food business with such high demands and keeping it all fresh AF in the meantime. We really appreciate these hard workers.“

“Great service here! This young kid named Alejandro Alvarez was very patient with me while I was ordering he gave me a good recommendation and was funny kind. I could tell he brought joy to his staff and customers. This guy made my day and seems like a hard working young man.“

“I was on my way to a doctor’s appointment on 2/9 at 11:20 a.m. and stopped in, fully expecting not to enjoy my food because I’ve had a bad sinus infection and couldn’t taste or smell anything. There was a long line, but no problem. I ordered my bowl and a small drink, sat down, and honestly thought it wouldn’t make a difference. Then I took my first bite and to my surprise, I could taste it. Not just taste it, but it tasted exactly like Chipotle did 20 years ago when I first tried it. It instantly brought back memories I didn’t even realize I’d forgotten: standing in line at the Chipotle on 95th, watching them roll my burrito, going home, taking my first bite, and offering my little sister a taste only for her to say she wished she had gotten Chipotle instead of McDonald’s because it was that good. This meal was more than food; it was a moment. Huge thanks to the employees at this location for bringing that quality and flavor back. Please keep up the great work.“

“The Chipotle in River North is honestly one of the better ones in the city. Went in for a quick lunch during the weekday rush. The line was long but the crew moved insanely fast. Got a chicken bowl with black beans, extra corn salsa, and guac. The worker actually gave me a heavy scoop of guacamole instead of skimping which is always a massive win. The dining area was surprisingly clean for how packed it gets in there.“

“First, time eating at Chipotle mexican grill. WAs very surprised of the quality, amazing big size portions, great service, couldn't finish the whole meal, had some for dinner. Excellent. Just an opinion, try it and you tell me..“

“I had made an online order for pickup today. I’m so serious when I say that this is the best chipotle bowl i’ve had in awhile. Generally I’ve avoided ordering online because most chipotle locations skimp on the portions and I’m left with a half-full bowl. This was not the case for this location. THANK YOU!!“

“Whoever made my mobile order that was ready by 4pm: I hope your skin is clear, you get 8-10 hours of sleep every night, and I hope you succeed at everything you want in life because this was the best bowl I’ve had in a while. I don’t really enjoy chipotle that much anymore but this bowl makes me want to come back even my cousin agreed with me 😂 the portions and toppings were 10/10“

“Chipotle has honestly become my go-to spot whenever I’m craving something fresh, filling, and balanced 🥗🔥. Their bowls are absolutely incredible — seriously next level delicious 😋✨. I almost always order the chicken bowl, not just because it’s budget-friendly, but because the grilled, well-seasoned chicken pairs perfectly with the brown rice and beans 🐔🍚.

I love that you can choose brown rice over white, plus load it up with tasty extras like salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole, and fresh greens 🥑🧀🌿. Everything tastes so fresh and satisfying every single time! It’s one of those meals that feels both healthy and indulgent at the same time 💚.

Also, the portions are amazing — I can never finish it in one sitting, so it easily turns into two meals for me 👍🏽💯. Super affordable, super tasty — definitely worth trying!“

“This my first time ever eating chipotle……DELICIOUS!!!! First the staff were friendly/respectful and helpful. I ordered the steak burrito/chipotle honey chicken burrito and steak quesadilla(no I didn’t eat all of it in one sitting lol but most of it) the ingredients was fresh and good plus great portion size worth every penny. I downloaded the app and my food was ready at 7:10pm as promised……THANK YOU!!!! This is TP you have a customer for life. That steak quesadilla was DELICIOUS!!!“

“For vegetarian person they have the yummiest and healthiest options over there like wrap,chipotle bowl, chips and dip,drink, taco etc. Also for Muslims they have plant based protein that is exactly taste like meat. It’s budget friendly, quantity is enough for a person to eat full stomach. Taste is 10 out of 10 always. Much recommended.“

“This is one of the cleanest Chipotle Mexican Grill I’ve ever eaten from!!! The staff was super friendly and they had everything stocked up even with us coming in 15 minutes before!! This is the Chipotle to hit if you want clean and excellent service!!“

“I had an amazing experience at Chipotle Mexican Grill! Their taco bowl is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Everything tasted incredibly fresh—from the perfectly seasoned rice and flavorful beans to the juicy, well-marinated meat. The toppings were generous, and the guacamole was especially delicious.

The staff was friendly and moved quickly, even during a busy time, which made the whole visit even better. If you’re craving a satisfying, customizable meal packed with flavor, the taco bowl here is a must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The woman who made our burrito bowls was nice and made the whole transaction pleasant. Very quick and efficient. I haven't been to Chipotle in a long time, but I've heard nothing but complaints about how small the portions have gotten, but that wasn't the case today. This was also my first visit to this location. I will say that during my time just sitting here eating my food, I observed all of the employees staying busy, whether cooking/assisting customers/cleaning. Thanks for a late lunch, Chipotle! It hit the spot. The host name on the receipt was Amari.“

“Had a great experience in chipotle , the girl with the blue hair was really nice. She definitely will have me going back again and again other than that the atmosphere was nice and everything else was cool. The food was good and fresh. I don’t know why this chipotle has three stars it should have four or five.“

“Best chipotle in the area. Employees seemed well trained and scoop proper portions. I do wish they would train employee friendliness more, it’s an easy fix but is definitely a negative at this location. Still best location around in my opinion would recommend“

“Has to be one of the busiest Chipotle's in the country, right next to the Sears tower and always a line 20 deep during lunch, but it moves fast and the staff is very efficient. Order to-go meals here weekly and have never had a complaint. Thanks!“

“My neighborhood spot I come in regularly and food and service are always good. I didn’t ask for the lady manager on shift today but she ran the line by herself and her service was phenomenal. The way she multitask is on another level. Always happy to come in for a quick fix.“

“Fernando is top notch. I had a pick up order…I was walking home and got a call with him apologizing that he forgot the shells in the kids taco meal. He offered to have them delivered or a free item added to my account. I get chipotle ALOT…and missing items isn’t fun, it happens. I’ve never had a store call to rectify. A+++ service.“

“the literal BEST chipotle i went to. They were so fast and everything looked so tasty and appetizing. Everything tasted fresh too and the 4 men i had working there are amazing and very very hardworking will be coming back! Thank you for making my day🌸✨“

“I’ve been to this location many times over the years, but tonight I went after a workout during rush hour. It was well staffed and things ran super smoothly. Honestly the best customer service I’ve seen at a chipotle, prompt, responsive, focused.“

“We had a great experience everyone was nice and friendly the food was fresh although the dining room was full of students from the college it was okay an employee came out and clean the dining room after all the other people left
I want to give a shout out to all the employees Great Job to you all! Thank you so much for your great service and especially for so nice and friendly and having a great attitude!
Will definitely be back sometime in the future“

“Great customer service; so glad to have security in the building. They are handling the large amount of orders that they’re getting in very well. The lead kept us updated on order status the entire time. Be ready to wait and be patient during dinner.“

“May 5, 2025

They did it again I was helped out by the general manager and her professional skills was tested today by some but she kept it cool. The food was on point and I ate everything I almost ate the damn bowl that's how amazing it was.

Remember these employees already have to deal with bullshit at times don't go in there with your bullshit to make they day worse. Be respectful get your food and get your ass out of there or just go somewhere else.

Thanks again chipotle keep up the great job“
