Chipotle Mexican Grill

Walked 7 blocks to this chipotle bc the Stuy town one had no beans. But believe it or not this chipotle had no salad or tomatoes. I’m done with chipotle for the year! That E. coli problem took them off he map!

It’s chipotle what could possibly be wrong with that when your looking for a quick bite

This chipotle location is just so so. The ingredient is not as fresh as other locations and the meat are a bit too salty.

It is truly unbelievable to me that this chipotle consistently proves itself to be the slowest and most incompetent chipotle of all time.

Have gone past this restaurant so many time. Stopped in for a quick meal. Had the tacos which had fresh chicken and toppings. Nothing special and pretty expensive. I have since been told that there best item is the burrito.

Small portion of meat! I don’t know about the bowls but you don’t get a good portion of meat if you’re having a burrito. They are generous when it comes to rice!

Customer service here is spectacular. All the servers are friendly and happy when they greet customers. The food portions that they provide at this location are fair and fulling. Angie and Shalylin are the two servers that I am most familiar with. They both are very friendly, and always greet me when I come in. I recommend this Chipotle over any of the other Chipotle’s in the east side.
Sincerely,

Before you read my review, I implore you to watch this YouTube video:

Every time I hear the word Chipotle or see a Chipotle restaurant, I’m reminded of the child in this video.
What’s there to say about Chipotle? It’s consistent, and I think I speak for everyone when I say they should more generous with their portions. On the other hand, I understand why the company does this from an operations standpoint.
Stay contestant, brah’s.

Chipotle, you are awesome. but can we address the Chips to Guac ratio? I’ve tried multiple ways to stretch the guac, but it appears only two orders will suffice for one bag of chips. Can we fix this?

What is wrong with people? Every service person in this city has an attitude…
I came here and ordered a burrito as usual and put my receipt in my bag. When I went to use the restroom I noticed it required a code and asked an off-​duty employee eating nearby. The girl rolled her eyes and told me to look on my receipt. Then her accomplice laughed at me to my face! Extremely rude, and I’m avoiding this place in favor of Dos Toros, which is two minutes away.

Terrible service. I had to ask three times for more veggies and each time she added 1 pepper to the bowl. The corn salsa was frozen! The ratio in the bowl was so off — there was more pico in the bowl than there were rice and beans combined! The restaurant was very unclean and unkept with trash on the floor and dirty tables everywhere. Management… Please fix!

It’s Chipotle. There isn’t much to say about it. The layout is unusual, as the seating is in a big L shape and the soda fountain is copletely out of view of the counter. The line moved quickly when I went, and the food was as it usually is. Quick in and out. Good place to go before a show at Irving Plaza.

I never receive a smaller portion of meat on a chipotle burrito than I do at this place. It’s the worst chipotle around Union Square.
The manager there must want to earn a gold star for cutting costs on meat, but in reality she’s losing quality customers.
Go to a different Chipotle around Union Square if you have the time.

the manager is as nasty as they come. she tried to overcharge me then proceeded to lean over the counter and scream in my face. I used to eat there more than 5 times a week because it is right next to my house. now I get chipotle anywhere else maybe once a week to every two weeks. It was my favorite place to eat, until i was rudely degraded in front of the whole restaurant. also way too crowded. I will never go back to this location, I haven’t gone back in 3 months.

Long ass lines. Clearly not enough staff to accommodate and serve all the people waiting in line. Why can’t they hire more staff? And did I mention the staff work really slow? Hurry the hell up, there’s like 20 people waiting in line.
Amount of food is always inconsistent. The server gives you a maximum of two scoops of rice and one scoop of steak/​chicken. Seriously? I pay almost $ 10 for a bowl. Even the Halal Food cart across the street gives me more food than I can finish for only $ 5 a platter.
This place is definitely not a real value for your money, considering their slow service and amount of food they put in your bowl. But since this is the closest Chipotle, I have no other options.

Redeemed a sofritas promo receipt at this corner spot in that horrid U Sq E/​E14 area where lunch hours go to die. Line moved pretty well, and they were amply staffed, half snappy and the other half eerily upbeat. Odd décor on one wall and some seating throughout, including an island parallel to the counter that makes for awkward encounters.

This place isnt so bad, but it isn’t so good either.
I’ve come here many times over the years. It’s near the Regal 14^th street movie theater and near many other stores and the train station. Very convenient and not too crowded most times. They have a lot of seating available and the food is up to par with what you’d find at other Chipotles around the city.
Unfortunately, this place is sometimes riddled with homeless people. I was once approached by a homeless guy who asked for money while I was at the register paying! No Bueno. The staff does try their best to regulate but they can only do so much. Today I saw a homeless woman steal at least 5 red chipotle trays… enough said.
There are times I come here where I don’t see any homeless people and the service and food are fine but be alert. I come here because of the convenience. It really isn’t as bad as it sounds food wise, but it’s convenient location makes it a target for homeless people. The food quality is good but just keep your eyes out for the crazies :/

Good, fast superfood. Although smell of hot sauces from grilled chicken burned the moment you walk in and every time you breathe, the food was great.

While writing about a chain seems somewhat pointless I figured I would make an exception as this location seems particularly bad. Most of the time Chipotle is a go-​to for me when I’m traveling and other options look less than appealing and would easily have a baseline of ¾ stars. This one, not so much.
We stopped in towards the end of the day; the line was still fairly long, but moving decently. When we got to the front to order we were informed there was no more tomatoes (pico) or beef. Ok fine. I got a steak burrito and my girlfriend got a chicken bowl. Now the issues: Wow! the brown rice was undercooked, and that’s being generous, I could have fairly said raw. The steak was also incredibly poorly butchered if at all.
While usually a go-​to this Chipotle’s proximity to the 100s of other union square eateries means I won’t have to ever go back. They don’t even have late hours, which is surprising given the amount of nightlife/​high NYU kids around the neighborhood.

Why am I writing a review for Chipotle? What has my life come to? Do i just love the sound of my own typing?
No. I am writing to defend myself– If you were in this location today around 12:30pm, you were probably befuddled at the sight of a zealous girl, about 5 ft tall and a hundy pounds, who looked to be demolishing a chicken burrito AND a chicken salad bowl simultaneously, alone. That was me. Hi!
Yes I saw you looking at me in confusion, I wasn’t sure if you were disgusted or about to propose. Allow me to explain, and to brag why I think I’ve achieved the PINNACLE of Chipotle eating.
I actually ordered a chicken salad bowl with a tortilla on the side, then proceeded to make my own burrito. Whyyyy?
— TO BE A FATTY. You get a LOT more food when you choose a bowl or salad. You just do, Google it. My scientific estimation is that it’s easily 25% more meat, 50% more salsa. The nice folks working there are much more receptive when you ask for «extra corn» when they don’t have to wrap that monster that your greedy butt is building.
–TO GET THAT SALAD DRESSING. Have you ever ordered a salad at Chipotle? Come on. Of course not, I seriously don’t know anyone who has. That’s why I never knew about that *dressing*. I am very weary of salt and only tried the dressing because the nice employee offered it to me on the side. But oy, it’s good, it is bright & complex, with its mouth-​watering vinegary kick tempered by honey (my guess.) rounded out by hugs from peppers.
–TO BE THE MASTER OF MY OWN DESTINY. When you build your own burrito, you not only control the proportions of ingredients but dispersement. I always hated those all rice bites of my burrito, and now that’s history. I tossed all my ingredients together with a few splashes of Tabasco before filling my DIY burrito, and I truly believe the mixing makes each bite more amazing.
Before I sum up… any Coloradans reading this? Because only us Coloradans understand how it’s possible to love Chipotle with real fervor.
For me, Chipotle is not a corporate chain that serves upscale fast food. For me, growing up in Denver in the 90’s, Chipotle was a revelation: a place where I could ditch Chemistry class to hang out with my friends because 1) we could actually afford this food (if we saved up!) and it was across the street from our school and 2) they gave us free sodas with unlimited refills with our student ID so we could hydrate while gossiping about our latest teenage crushes and 3) it tasted SO GOOD, even to my immature taste buds.
Before this turns into a Lifetime coming-​of-​age movie, I’ll sum up: Chipotle is good. Eat it Coloratty (the Colorado Fatty way) and it’s even better.
