“The best Chipotle I've ever been to. I visited 9-26-25 to got a veggie burrito and a veggie bowl and they are built the way they should be. I get my Great Dane a steak burrito and anywhere else, they are literally smaller than my palm and the size of a taco. Here, it is an actual burrito.“
“Chipotle is one of my favorite places to eat. I've been to many different locations and the food always tastes amazing. This one in particular, has a worker named Janel working here. I always see her running around, making people's food by herself. I always appreciate hard working people. 10/10 service“
“First time eating at chipotle, food was good even though protein was on the smaller end, very similar to other restaurants offering the same style, staff was friendly and it’s very quick for you to get your food.
The sparkling water was amazing!“
“Popped in on a random Wednesday and have to say this is the best Chipotle I’ve ever been to. The food was fresh and cooked perfectly. The ladies on the line were friendly and fast, and the fellas in the back were efficient and on top of it. Chipotle can be hit-or-miss—especially in Manhattan—but hats off to this location!“
“I visited the Chipotle at 274 Madison Avenue in NYC yesterday around 1:30pm, and I want to highlight an excellent experience. I worked for Chipotle during my college years for four years strictly as a crew member but my store earned Restaurateur status during my first year, so I understand what true Chipotle standards look like.
Because of that background, Chipotle has always represented quality to me. But in recent years, I’ve noticed the standards slipping, and I actually stopped eating Chipotle for about two months after some disappointing visits in others Locations.
Yesterday, I walked past the Madison Avenue location and decided to give it another chance and I’m glad I did. The first impression was outstanding. The restaurant was spotless, fully stocked with napkins and utensils, and the line looked organized and extremely fresh. The food pans were clean, and nothing looked old or over-held.
Food quality was great as well. The steak was perfectly cut ideal bite-size pieces and cooked just right. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference in the bowl experience.
From a hospitality standpoint, they nailed it. The tortilla person welcomed me with a genuine smile and asked what I wanted, and the cashier was incredibly friendly almost like I’d known them before. That kind of authentic engagement is rare, and it stands out.
This is the level of quality, freshness, and hospitality every Chipotle should deliver. The Madison Avenue crew earned me back as a customer.“
“Man you don’t understand how good this chipotle is. My love for this place goes beyond any other fast food. The workers are fast, nice attentive and they actually are patient unlike in other places where they trip over you saying “um” once. No attitude no faces, just smiles and good service. I’ll travel from Cali just to eat here.“
“It can get quite crowded during peak lunch time - occasionally certain items (ie chicken/ rice) will run out, which forces me to pick more expensive alternatives
The dining area is a bit loud at times with lots of people eating, so try to cover up.“
“More of a 4.5 but I’m rounding up. The portions were good and the food was fresh. Also the place is clean. The service was very good and friendly. Only slight down point was there Chips weren’t very crisp and maybe a bit old but everything else was good!“
“This location has been my primary spot since it opened. I've seen many employees come & go. The place has its share of homeless people gleaning the soda station and teens coming in after school and causing an occasional ruckus but the staff really try their best to keep the place clean, sanitized and items stocked. Being courteous to them goes a long way as I've managed to steal a smile from their tired faces but today was quite different. The ONLY new & young employee I've ever seen take the time to make sure I didn't get the bottom of the barrel chicken was SANTONIO. He was attentive, polite & surpringly moved like he was a seasoned pro!“
“I love this location, compared to the location at bowling Green this location is much cleaner and the service there is a lot better. Food is always on point, fast service and a welcoming atmosphere. I’m the type of person who goes for first impressions and if the service I get is not up to standards there is no reason for me to come back and spend my money.“
“Shoutout to Brandon and Jalen at the Chipotle near my office—they consistently hold it down during the busiest hours with calm, precision, and great energy. Even in the rush, they move with purpose and make sure every customer feels seen and taken care of. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellent service really stand out. Always appreciate the consistency and pride they bring to the line.“
“This a good location and service is pretty good. The food is always warm when ordering ahead.
I have had on a few occasions when ordering ahead had the wrong extra added to my burrito.
I also once got a bowl instead of the burrito.“
“I just purchased a burrito from the location at 404 broadway at around 7:30pm and the cashier at that location had the nerve to refuse to let me use the bathroom and said it wasn’t for customers. The kind gentleman and the other staff at this location let me use their bathroom. I showed them my bag with my burrito and told them the situation and they were beyond kind. I really appreciate them.“
“It is by far my favorite fast food restaurant, as the food itself is incredibly fresh, very responsibly sourced, and is quite tasty even when purchased on a regular basis. This particular location is our go-to, as it's right off the subway on our way home, and we love it. Shout out to Lewis!“
“Food was good. It was during a massive parade and the staff was professional and courteous amongst the chaos of 200 people trying to use the rest room from the parade. Line was short and workers were efficient. All that I can ask for during a parade with 200,000 plus attendees. All the best.“
“Very fast-paced chipotle. The service here is top tier. I always come here around 12pm and the crew is so polite and efficient. The counter is probably the cleanest i have ever seen at any Chipotle location I've ever gone to. The food is fresh and always hot. I highly recommend coming to this location for fresh food and fast and friendly service.“
“Chipotle always serves fresh and delicious foods. Their prices are lower than McDonald’s. I feel relaxed when walking into the restaurant through a little garden outside the entrance of the restaurant near Columbus Circle. Best fast-food restaurant in New York City.“
“The workers were really nice, attentive, patient and accommodating :) They're really doing their best. They were generous with the portions and the food was fresh and good. The store's AC was also lacking so it was pretty warm and they were still super nice ?“
“James tinzhanay is the best manager he made sure my bowl was good. HE DESERVES A RAISE. He’s kind hearted and caring and made sure the store was clean. Whoever put him in this chipotle deserves a pat on the back. Amazing service I will come again“
“We arrived with 18 people and the staff were quick and easily accommodating to our large group. They moved us through the line at record speed. They were patient with the children in the group. Their kindness and quick speed allowed us to grab an earlier train home. Thank you!“
“I love Chipotle. This one in particular runs pretty smooth. Not too long of a wait time usually no matter how the long the line is. This restaurant is often busy anytime I've ever went ( day or night) so I'd assume it's pretty popular in the area amongst all the other places to eat and dine.“
“This might have been the best Chipotles I have ever eaten! Everything was seasoned perfectly! Every mouthful was flavorful! Everything was cooked right! Nothing was dry, nothing was hard! The only reason I'm not giving them five stars is because I think closing the bathroom by 8:30 is BS!“
“The staff truly make this place special! The food is decent, and I tend to enjoy it more when I'm really hungry. The atmosphere feels somewhat like what I imagine prison dining to be. However, the staff are incredibly friendly and quite efficient. I wish they would allow people to tip by card since not everyone carries cash these days. They definitely deserve recognition for their hard work!“
“This place is very clean I would say that there service definitely needs to be work on that I asked for guac at the end and I opened my bowl and no guac so next time I’m coming here I’ll make sure everything‘s in there as you should too but other then that its tasty“
“Everyone there on January 23, 2025 from 6-8 pm was super nice, friendly and great to start conversations atmosphere. I personally had a blast shoutout to all the CHIPOTLE people at 125 E23rd street. Would come back again any day and everyday.“
“I like ordering delivery/pickup from this chipotle location, because they always prep/pack very well and also (maybe I almost always get lucky or they really do have different food portion size than other locations) their food size portions are bigger than other locations. Definitely 5 star and recommended to all my friends ❤️❤️“
“As always great food. I wish we had this in Switzerland... Sooo tasty. Took my daughter here for the first time and she loved it, especially good because normally she is a picky eater. This specific branch was well kept and clean, bathroom could have used some cleaning but was usable. The lemonade was as tasty as ever. For a European tongue maybe a bit too sour...“
“Fresh ingredients as always but this location is based in the Empire State Building. Lunch time here is not for you 30- minuters especially if you didn't order online. The line will wrap and stay that way give or take an hour but the staff is working their butts off. As long as I remember to order off the app this is a fast lunch spot.“
“Great Experience at Chipotle!
Chipotle never disappoints. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. You can really taste the quality in every bite—from the perfectly seasoned rice to the tender, juicy proteins and crisp toppings. The team was friendly and efficient, keeping the line moving quickly while still taking the time to get every order just right.
The restaurant itself was clean, well-stocked, and welcoming. I appreciate how Chipotle gives you so many options to customize your meal—whether you’re in the mood for a hearty burrito, a light bowl, or something vegetarian.
Overall, it’s a reliable spot for a quick, healthy meal that doesn’t compromise on taste. Definitely one of my go-to places when I’m craving something fresh and filling!“
“This is THE chipotle. I don’t think I’ve ever posted a fast food/QSR review before, but I work across the street from this chipotle and go here often and always have a 10/10 experience. They are QUICK. Like lightning quick, even with a line out the door during peak lunchtime. Their ingredients are always stocked, they’ve never been out of anything I want (unlike other chipotles i’m used to going to). And the potion sizessss. Chipotle’s brand has taken a hit over this in recent years but MAN do you get what you pay for at this one. My bowl is always full and they don’t skimp on protein, the most important part. Way to go y’all.“
“Went here not too long ago and had a pleasant experience, the service was great and the food was also very good too. I had ordered my usual chicken burrito bowl with 2 chicken tacos through the app and my food was ready by the time I showed up which was great. Would come back again.“
“Came in close to closing and instead of hurrying me out like im used to in other places they were respectful and courteous. Young man making the meal was explaining what they were running out of so I said surprise me with chicken and he did nothing short of an awesome job. Overall energy and atmosphere was positive, solid, awesome. Very conducive to good productivity very commendable??“
“Pretty normal chipotle, they’d probably be 5 stars but they get a lot of traffic from nearby schools and angry businessmen so that probably adds a lot of stress. I’m surprised they’re as good as they are given the demographic of customer. Their manager runs the place like the navy during rush hours“
“The food taste was not consistent — some outlets were a bit saltier than others. I had carnitas at two different locations, and the saltiness varied noticeably. The dine-in areas could also use more attention, as they can get quite messy at times. That said, it’s Chipotle — it definitely fills you up with an acceptable taste, no matter which outlet you visit across America.“
“I went to Chipotle, a Mexican fast food restaurant in New York. The place is clean, modern, and has music. It has lots of space and the colors are nice.
The service was fast and the people were friendly.
The food was amazing and spicy. I ate a burrito with rice, chicken, and vegetables. The food was fresh and good quality.
I liked this restaurant very much.“
“The food was fine but the staff was the most impersonal Chipotle I've ever seen. No one in line but they rushed rushed rushed me to hurry up. Plus there seating area want heated well, which, given this time of year and the cold temps, was uncomfortable.“
“Refreshingly friendly service and actually good portion sizes unlike half the locations downtown. Never got my order wrong and I order from here at least once every other week. Super clean and I never feel like I’m bothering the workers coming into pick up my order.“
“Chipotle offers fast-casual and fully customizable Mexican food made with fresh ingredients right before your eyes. Build your own burritos, bowls, tacos, or salads with options like barbacoa, chicken, sofritas, and fajita veggies. Top it off with guacamole, salsa, queso, sour cream and much more. While portions can be inconsistent, the quality and flavor are generally reliable, making it a great and popular choice for a quick and satisfying lunch or dinner.“
“I eat at this particular Chipotle alot. I love their iced tea and they always have it ready by 11am. I like the clean, spacious look and feel of the bar height stainless steel tables. The staff keeps them clean and regularly wiped off. The staff really cares about the customer experience.“
“This location has typically been good for ordering in the line.
However, when ordering pickup the first time it was late 5min (fair enough as this was a day with a promo) and the second time I tried visiting 10min after the pickup time in case it's late, and the store couldn't find the order. They later figured someone else took the order and remade it but I ended up with my food 20min after my order pickup time.
Therefore, ordering in the line may offer a more consistent experience“
“Food is great, staff were really wonderful and friendly, but management has really got to fix the AC. It’s out, we’re in the summer, I was hot in the space and I can’t imagine what the employees feel enduring the kitchen heat without good AC. Fix please!“
“Just came from the Chipotle on Broadway 4009 and it was a great experience. The food was fresh, portions were solid, and the staff was quick and friendly. What I really appreciated was how clean the place was — the tables looked freshly wiped down and the whole area felt well maintained. I’ll definitely be back.“
“This chipotle used to consistently be one of the worst in Manhattan (long line, out of everything, horrible customer service). However over the last 6 months or so they’ve really turned it around. I went right before 7pm tonight and it was a super quick and efficient service. They actually had full stock of everything and everything in my bowl was super fresh. They even had vinaigrette which they typically run out of by later in the day. Really hoping they keep it up!“
“As the OG of casual fast food this location has held up through decades of 'yuppie metamorphosis'. This location is next to one of the busiest public transportation stations in the world. There will be distractions. This location is delicious.“
“Nice location with a good amount of seating. It’s perfect for lunchtime and it’s in a nice area. When the weather is nice out, you could sit outside. I just got pick up and I did a meal. It was very good. Nothing else say normal chipotle.“
“Food was great—my chicken bowl was fresh, flavorful, and a good portion for delivery. Everything was packed well and tasted like it was made right before it went out. Only reason I’m not perfect on service is because delivery orders can be hit or miss, but the food quality was 10/10. I’d order again.“
“I had the vegan chipotle bowl here — it came with tofu and a few toppings I hadn’t tried before, but I really liked it!
You can customize it with lots of extras like cheese and more, which is always a plus.
The portion was huge and super filling, which I appreciated.
Service felt a bit slow, but to be fair, the place was packed, so that may have been the reason.
It has more of a fast-casual vibe, so don’t expect anything fancy — but if you’re looking for something quick, tasty, and budget-friendly, it’s a solid option.
And I was especially happy to find vegan Mexican food, since I love the cuisine and it’s not always easy to find good plant-based versions.“
“one of the best chipotles i have visited thus far! the service here is absolutely amazing and the women and gentleman that serve me every time i go always show me so much respect and love. I absolutely love this chipotle and staff. Thank you for all that you do every single “
“I was here for dinner after work and I just wanted to write how much I liked the whole team who worked at this Chipotle.I was just noticing/watching/listening to them interact with other customers while I was dining in.Very friendly, fun, positive atmosphere, and the team still helped move the line along efficiently.“
“When we first walked in, friendly faces greeted us. The workers took our order and told us to take a seat. We got our food and sat at the little bar. There was also a place where you sit and study in the back corner. There were also some cool benches in the back. The food was absolutely amazing🤩. It was packed full of flavors and protein. My daughter friend is allergic to gluten, dairy and nuts , but she was still able to get food. Overall, everything was amazing 🤩.5 stars ⭐️“
