Chipotle Mexican Grill

At Chipotle, I had the Sofritas Burrito, which was warm, comforting, good clean food. It’s a fair sized portion.
Solid food that’s reasonably priced.
3.5 stars

Why charge so much for extras that are suppose to be in a burrito in the first place? Want a decent amount of meat? You have to ask for extra. Want guacamole on your burrito? Pay extra. I mean I get it. I wouldn’t care if they only charged you like an extra 50 cents or something, but two bucks for added guacamole? come on. Everything else about chipotle is fine. The guy was making my food was nice, the place is clean, and the food is pretty good. Just wish one burrito didn’t end up costing me $ 11.

Probably the best Chipotle I’ve been to in my area. For being the only chain that has a place in my heart, I haven’t found a chipotle that doesn’t have some sort of issue. This location is great. The staff is prompt and courteous, they listen to exactly what you want, and they’re organized! Food is always stocked and warm. Gasp! I know it seems ridiculous to hear, but I have had some horrible experiences at other Chipotles. Other locations I’ve reviewed could really use some pointers from these guys!
Only flaw is how tight of a space it is. I never sit down to eat there. Weird seating plan.

It was good until I found out that the buyer for Chipotle gets half his stuff third world countries. The pork products come from Vietnam all the beef products come from Honduras, lettuce tomatoes from Guatemala. The Wonder everybody’s getting sick

I like Chipotle. This is one of the better ones.
I don’t like Center city though. Fuck that place.
All these people breathing up all the air. Crowding into places. Can’t park anywhere!

It made both me and my fiancé sick last night. I got the vegetarian sofritos bowl and he got the chicken bowl.

This Chipotle’s burrito building efficiencies are paragon. They must have gotten A+‘s at burrito school. You know how sometimes they just throw the beans on there with all their bean juice, and the tortilla is sog city? Not here. The cashier was in swipe zone and wasn’t gonna quit until all the cards were swiped. She was like «can’t stop, won’t stop» and just kept swipin and swipin her way through the lunch onslaught, only taking a break to wipe the sweat from her brow, and high five herself. On. Her Gaaaame.

If I were to rate Chipotle for being Chipotle, it would for sure get an easy five stars! However, given the assumption that most readers have already frequented a Chipotle and knows the goodness that it is (with its standard ingredients that pervades across this nation), my two-​star rating applies solely to this particular location.
For one thing, my friend found a short frizzy piece of hair in her food that was NOT characteristic of anyone at our table. Um yeah, ew.
For another thing, why would they meld ALL the hightop chairs into the floor so that they can’t ever be moved? So basically if you ever go with more than four people, either you’re going to have to a) split into two tables, which is never quite as fun, b) have the extra person stand as they eat, or c) eye whoever is at the ONE booth table that’s basically always taken until they leave and quickly snatch it up and squeeezeeee (which is what our party of 6 did). #poorarchitecturaldesign
And finally, the servers here can be pretty stingy about their veggie portions, even when you ask for just a little more and it’s closing time anyways… (sad face).

Chipotle, overall, I enjoy.
This location can get the job done (chicken burrito bowl typically for me). However, as I compare this location to several others in CA, they could go a bit faster. Through observation, they should pay more attention the the patrons’ ahead of me’s orders as they tend to mess up which causes a delay in the process.
But I still enjoy Chipotle!

Came here for a vegan veggie bowl. They messed up my first bowl by putting chicken in it. When they made me a new one, they put sour cream on it. When i said i didnt want sour cream, they tried to scoop it off with a plastic ramekin. I ended up just saying nevermind and leaving.
I wasnt a fan of being rushed through line anyway.
Now im just frustrated and hungry.
I dont usually waste my time at fast food places, but i thought the non GMO ingredients sounded like a good lunch choice on my break. I guess i will possibly try another location sometime?
One star because they are gmo free.
One star because i do feel bad that i left.
Im not saying not to come here, but i reccomend to be very specific and clear to the employees so they dont mess yours up like mine!

Crowded. Always during lunch. Keep that in mind. I would have given 4 stars if not for the lack of seating. Most of their tables sit four. Most of the time I go there is one person taking up a whole table. So you either wait, take your food to go or eat across from a stranger. This is probably the only thing I don’t like about this place. Otherwise food is great, employees are nice and the place is clean.
Oh. Never ever eat the lemon wedges they have waiting near the soda fountain. You should know why…

(To the tune of The Chainsmokers’ hit, Kanye)
I was feeling hunger pangs
Didn’t seem to fade away
Despite gum I was chewing
Tried to get ‘za from Bufad
Service was just really bad
What were they all doing?
Took BSL to the Walnut Street Stop
Looked around… Looked around…
Then I just knew, that the food I would chew would be foundddd…
I wanna eat CHIPOTLEEEEE
It keeps me oh so fullll-​yay!
Barbocoa in my belllayyy
All day… Chipoootttleee, yeah, yeah.
That said, this Chipotle in particular, while delicious as per usual, has some issues with design. Namely, there’s no real funnel for folks trying to wait in line for their food ordering process to begin. This results in a kind of splotchy «line jumble» that isn’t really a line at all, mostly just a jumble. Not a problem in the middle of a late afternoon, but around lunch time… trouble.
Not a buncha seats. This WOULD be a problem… if not for the other Chipotle about 3 blocks away.

I’m going to be real. This is my go-​to fast food minus chick fil la– not open on Sundays so I can’t be totally devoted to that.
I come here 3−4x a week on average. I don’t like cooking very much so this is the place I go to for lunch and dinner.
I get the half chicken/​half steak… I think this is the best way to maximize the amount of meat you get. You get charged for the steak but I think it’s worth it.
This is first on my top ranked fast food place. Close tie to chick fil la but like I said. chick fil la ain’t open Sunday so I give it to Chipotle. The line goes by pretty quick which is also why I ranked it above popeyes because who doesn’t like fried chicken? #amiright

Now, let’s keep in mind I’m comparing the Chipotles here in Philly to my fair, fun and beloved state of California.
Pros:
–consistently great taste of the food. Steak or chicken, the meats are delicious. The veggies and dressings are fresh too.
–the tables are clean and even though this place is always busy, you can always snag a table.
–another thing, the packaging of the product is cute! Aesthetics are important too you know! A nice, decorated recycled brown bag for the food is cute :)

Savory, delicious, great value, and fast (usually).
This Chipotle has a convenient location in Center City if you live in the area, but I imagine it’s a real pain to find parking. Delicious food, however the setup of space (can get very crowded) and noise level (usually on the louder range) make it not the ideal place to dine in. I usually just grab and go.
Rundown:
Burrito bowl to go with tortilla on side
Mix brown and white rice
Extra rice instead of beans
½ steak and ½ chicken
2 scoops pico
2 scoops corn
Lettuce on top
Cheese in a cup
Outcome:
Slide that 1lb bad boy into a bag, grab some napkins and 2 forks, I’m usually good for two meals.
This meal was the single most item I craved when I was in Africa for 3 weeks. Either very sad… or just very awesome food… maybe a little of both.

It is Chipotle. It is better than the place you go to. It is better than Qdoba (and always has been and always will be).
There’s nothing specific about this Chipotle that’s different than the rest so in other words, you can rest assured that their recipe for success is still working.
Occasionally it gets very busy. It does not however, occasionally get less tasty. In fact, it gets more, and MOARE tasty!
Also, if you don’t like chipotle, you’re probably just not ordering enough of it. You need to spend at least 20 bucks. Get guac on everything man, like seriously everything, even your soda. And you can’t not get chips, unless you’re like made out of freakin chips, in which case BRAVO sir. You basically HAVE to get chips and guac. Also, if you don’t eat here at least once a day then you are probably some type of inhumane ungodly looking creature and we shouldn’t be friends.

Just like any other Chipotle (point of chains) so I won’t go on and on.
1. They offer sofritas. For my fellow vegetarians or alternative eating friends, try them! They’re very well sauteed! Apparently they have a ton of sodium (thanks Mayur C.) so if you’re sensitive, check it the deets online.
2. During lunch time, this line is basically at the door and ridic intimidating. It goes go by VERY quickly though. Pros: goes by quickly. Cons: You better know wtf you want to order cause there is no time when you are up there to ponder between black bean or pinto.

It’s a chain and it’s tasty, what more do you want?
This Chipotle has really mastered the art of fast, healthier food. If you walk into this Chipotle (I pronounce it chih-​pot-​tull) and you see a line reaching to the door, don’t fret. You will be at the front in about 5 – 7 minutes. They have an assembly line working back there and they know how to move a crowd.
I go for the veggie burrito bowl. With the veggie option, you get the guacamole (pronounced wack-​a-​mohl) for free. If you want it as a topping, it’s going to cost you a couple bucks. It’s pretty easy to keep vegan too which is the normal route I go. It’s under 9 bucks and it doesn’t leave you hungry mid afternoon.
In the fast food world, I think Chipotull is winning and I’ll continue to support them.

Chipotle is my go-​to hangover food on a Saturday/​Sunday morning. I will wait anxiously like a little kid on Christmas for it to be 11am so I can go get my burrito to start easing my whiskey-​induced pain courtesy of the night before.
Rarely do I eat at this location. It’s not just because 1) I look like a hot mess when I roll in there or 2) because, let’s face it, it is impossible to look attractive while burrito is falling every which way on your hands and face. Rather, the restaurant can be pretty crowded and it’s difficult to find a seat depending on what time of day you go.
I have never had bad service here so I am happy about that. Though, I can’t help but get a tad peeved when they tell me that «guac is extra». Yes, I know, what does this look like amateur hour? Just heap on the goodness, I’m not concerned about the cost.
My review is now just about as big as chipotle’s burrito which, for those of you who don’t know, are huge. I can’t speak to the delayed effects of Chipotle (which some people can unfortunately experience) but I can personally attest to its ability to please my taste buds and stomach.

I love Chipotle I wish they had one closer to my place. This is probably the closet one but its downtown in a not so easy area to park so unless I wan to walk 25 minutes or a burrito I only hit it up once and a while.
Line move fast they were extra generous on the gacu which is a super plus I hate when people are stingy, especially if you are paying extra for it. I tend to get the veggie burrito it comes with gacu but occasionally I get something else and usually add it.
