“No fancy stuff. The food was fresh and good quality. Guests who are unfamiliar with their menu need assistance to get what they want. The personnel were helpful and the prices good for the DC area.Parking: Just around the corner from the Ballston Metro Station.“
“I just want to give a big shoutout to Chipotle and their team for making large orders a breeze. Their box system made it so easy to pick up and distribute food to my team. And it kept all the food in place, and nothing was smashed in the process of transporting the items back to the production set.“
“This chipotle is in the mall which gets a 1 star deduction for making walk through my living Hell. Service was relatively quick, food was good. Worth checking out. Park towards the middle of the parking garage and walk to lower level in food court.“
“My friend and I enjoyed a wonderful meal here today. We selected two burrito bowls covered in tasty toppings and did not regret our decision. The white rice in particular was not good; it was succulent. At one point I remarked to my companion, “Wow this white rice is really good,” and he replied, “Yeah wow you’re right.” I suggested it was because the grains contained plentiful butter and salt, whereupon he noted the rice’s striking freshness and fluffy mouthfeel. I concurred and suggested we perhaps re-approach the cooks and inquire about the elevated cooking procedures and seasoning techniques that no doubt contributed to the superlative dish. My friend seemed to seriously consider the notion before sheepishly returning to his meal. Whether that was due to an outright dismissal of the idea or his characteristic shyness I am not sure, since I failed to ask him, due to, again, my being so dialed into the white rice. At that point I proceeded to scoop some more rice onto my fork, being careful not to scoop TOO much because I wanted to achieve the proper balance of rice and meat in my bite. I’m happy to report that the bite was well executed and that I was able to place it into my mouth and enjoy chewing it. You know how sometimes when you eat fast casual food you instinctively wonder whether you should add some salt and/or pepper from a packet or shaker but you end up not doing it either because the condiment vessel is too far out of reach or maybe the facility doesn’t offer such a vessel to its patrons for some bizarre reason? This was not one of those times. Again, because the white rice was already so tasty.I’d like to continue discussing the white rice, and I’m happy to do so if you’d like, but for now I will say that the meats presented to us were also quite delicious. The carne asada was glistening like sun-dappled melons in its metallic tray, and the chicken looked tantalizing as well. So much so, in fact, that my companion opted to order “half-chicken, half-carne,” as he phrased it. Ordering next, I pondered following suit, but ultimately decided to stick with just one kind of meat (the aforementioned carne asada) due to a long history of gastrointestinal complications. As you can imagine the result was scrumptious, to say the least, since the meat’s juices blended mellifluously with the mystic wonders of the white rice. After the first bite I thought about the cow who gave his/her/their life for this dish, and while the circumstances of his/her/their demise may or may not have elicited ethical concerns (depending on many factors) from the discerning consumer, I couldn’t help wondering whether, if he/she/they were alive today, he/she/they would no doubt harbor considerable pride for the sheer deliciousness seeping from those meat hunks.I would be remiss not to mention the pleasant atmosphere filling the facility with good cheer. The space was not overly crowded, no doubt owing to the somewhat late hour in which we dined, and the Latin music in the air lent a unique cultural flair to the experience. I noted “A Buena Vista” by Soneros de Verdad being played at one point, a delightful number no matter one’s musical inclinations. My companion and I engaged in pleasant conversation (primarily centered on rice matters) amidst a cohort of jolly fellows and ladyfolk who were no doubt similarly consumed by epicurean wonderment.Solid meal!“
“Oh no... I am so surprised by the reviews...I used to go to the one in Rosslyn, but since this one is closer by, I go to this one. It wasn't bad the times I've visited. I hope the manager checks the reviews and makes some improvements. I am giving five because of the location, the times I've gone were always clean, and the staff were fine. (dined in and ordered for to-go as well).“
“Not the cleanest Chipotle I’ve been to but the food was fresh and good. There’s no parks around here so you have to park in the public parking garage next door. I was in Chipotle for maybe 10 mins. Thought I was going to be charged $6 but it ended up being free.“
