“Do NOT order from their website. Made a pickup order with some friends and went to pickup at the time stated on the order. Manager stated they had not received our order as their website system doesn’t properly work. Had already paid more than $60 for order and was told I could order again but she could not help with refunding my money. Restaurant vibes were on point and the place smelled delicious so was sad to not be able to get food that time. Buyer beware: DO NOT ORDER from website. They use grubhub and calling to order is always an option. Will plan on coming back and eating at their establishment“

“A lot of variety of authentic Mexican food. Anywhere from caldos, meats, and home made tortillas.“

“We do not dine out often due to the poor food quality of many restaurants; however, when our friends found this organic, gluten-free diner, I was intrigued. The food was an absolute celebration of life. Delectable delights danced on an ambrosial causeway of artistic creation few eateries achieve. Our table ordered a variety of entrees and drinks. We started with complimentary chips, avocado and verde sauce. Very tasty. For the main course, I choose enchiladas and was curious about the horchata (rice milk soaked in cream with cinnamon), so I had this as well. Normally, I do not order specialty drinks, but their horchata was an exceptional experience as was the hand-squeezed limeade. I highly recommend both. Reading many of the other reviews that criticized the room temperature water, the service, and the ambiance, I must adamantly disagree. The best temperature for water when dining is room temperature. And their water is finely filtered and refreshing. The service may be perceived as slow, but I love being left to chat and laugh with my party. I relish this time. A meal out should be relaxing in a friendly, pleasant atmosphere without feeling rushed—and it was. The dining area is a little noisy, like most restaurants in this country. As an experienced sound engineer, I would recommend some sound absorbers blended into the corners, some appropriate picturesque art absorbers on the walls, and maybe a row of carpet down the main walkway to absorb sound and define the lovely wait staff’s path. The price: well worth it. You will not be disappointed. Spend without regret, and enjoy the articulation of tastes that shall frolic upon thy palate. Thank thee for a wondrous dining experience for a traveling bard, Frosty“

“😁good and yummy place to eat, I have been here more than once in fact several time and is one of my favorite place to eat. The anytime special is fantastic for the price. I recommend this place.“

“delicioso,buen precio, atención pronta.“

“First off. I fly here from WA to eat the fries burrito. My bf came with me and there was hair and METAL in his food. They are throwing their meat out right now but I’m feeling additional compensation is required. It was not a thin piece of metal (it was roughly paper clip looking)“

“Chipotle has established itself as a go-to for a quick, filling, and flavorful meal, and for good reason. The assembly-line approach allows for complete customization, and the ingredients themselves are the stars of the show. Whether you're a fan of the tender barbacoa, the juicy chicken, or the savory steak, each protein is well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. Paired with fresh salsa, creamy guacamole, and the robust flavors of their beans and rice, every bite is a satisfying experience. It's a testament to their recipe and sourcing that the food maintains a consistently high quality across the board.
The portions at Chipotle are a major selling point, providing excellent value for the price. A single bowl or burrito is often so generously sized that it can serve as two meals, making it a great option for those looking to get the most bang for their buck. The abundance of ingredients ensures that you won't leave hungry, and the ability to load up on your favorites, from double meat to a plethora of veggies, means you can truly create a meal that suits your appetite. This commitment to hearty servings is one of the key reasons for their loyal customer base.
While the food and portions are generally top-notch, there is one minor but noticeable flaw: the tortillas. While they are soft and pliable when fresh off the press, they have a tendency to become a bit chewy and tough relatively quickly, especially in a burrito where they are tightly wrapped. This can detract from the overall enjoyment of the meal if you are not eating it immediately. However, this is a small issue in an otherwise fantastic dining experience. The consistent quality of the ingredients and flavors, combined with the generous portions, make Chipotle a reliable and delicious choice for a fast-casual meal.“
