Chipotle Mexican Grill

This location seems to have the freshest food! The manager and staff are also very friendly.

First of all love the food. The service is as good as it’s gonna get. Chipotle is virtually busy all the time. I only had one semi-​bad experience here, and that was when the woman gave me guac on my bowl and I didn’t ask for it. But hey that’s nothing to complain about.

first time but defiantly not the last… one of the better somewhat fast food I have had in a while as it was relatively healthy. the line was long but it went by fast. the employees knew how to get you in and get you out but were not pushing you thru the line… can’t wait to go again…

Came in for some good after a long day at work. Some of the food I wanted wasn’t ready, and I understand that, but the employee Bianca refused to tell me how long to expect for my good and instead rolled her eyes and walked away. I come here a lot and the staff is always sweet but this girl acted as though I was coming to annoy her personally. I’ll be going to Mexican restaurant at Highland and Center from now on. Also couldn’t find a table that wasn’t covered in trash and food and wound up going home to eat instead. My hard-​fought meal will have to be eaten cold

As of now, the Chipotle here has fantastic and fast service, whereas I dread going to the one in Oakland. The parking lot is huge, and hard to not find a parking spot. Additionally, the location is home to great stores and a Carnegie Library down the block.
The food is coma-​inducing, but so worth it every time. Get the vinaigrette too! It is a nice addition to your bowl or burrito

Tasty and cheap
My favorite is chicken bowl with guacamole and hot&sour sauce.
It would conquer the fast-​food market. Watch out, MacDonald haha: D

I really live Chipottle! It’s cheap and nice food. The service is good too.
I just think they could have more options for snakes, cause I don’t like that chips.

We have a teenage relationship of one of us hanging up the phone and then either/​or waiting by the lockers to apologize the next day.
I order the salad to dissuade the guilt of how frequently I partake. Salad, beans, double chicken, pico, hot sauce = happy tummy. They are pretty skimp on the protein for the cost. I order double and get what should be the regular portion.
Then again… maybe my idea of a normal portion is jacked. TBD

I will start by saying I love Chipotle. I do. I love the ungodly giant burritos you can get and I love the option for a salad. This place is constantly packed, which is really annoying if all you want to do is slide on in for a quick meal to eat in or take it to go. I know there’s an option to call in ahead of time (I think), but I seem to forget to ever do that because I come here on a whim. While I do enjoy the food, I’ve been frustrated with the service. It seems there’s always one, maybe two, people trying to help customers while other people are talking or doing something in the back. I understand there are other things that have to get done, but if it’s so busy… maybe try to hustle versus texting? This is what I’ve witnessed and can’t say it happens every single time.
After waiting in line a few times, I get up front to ask for a salad and have to keep asking for lettuce and some veggies as my to go order is being passed down the line. Same with the dressing for the salad. If I didn’t keep asking, I’m pretty sure it would have been forgotten. I like the simplicity of the menu even though some people come up the line thinking they can ask for some weird concoction they don’t even put together. Aside from my issues with slower service, I will say I’ve always encountered a pleasant employee. They’re either smiling or say hello and I think that makes a huge difference. I understand they get slammed and a lot of the time they’re trying to keep up with everything. I think once or twice I was able to get to Chipotle without a huge line and I felt like I just unlocked some sort of achievement in my life. Yes, it was that big of a deal.

Solid average in terms of food. You will get exactly what you want from this place. It might not be in a normal time frame. Do not worry, it will eventually come. I wish I had the job of the person who bags the food and turns around to grab a bag of chips. That seems like such a bomb a$$ job. I had a lot of time to watch the lucky girl who was assigned that job today. Every time I come in the line is to the door. One would think it’s because of the quality of the food, sadly that is not the reason. They’re just always so slow, all of their employees. My love of chipotle food always wins over my hatred of waiting in the long, slow line that always comes with eating at this location. Full disclosure, I will be eating here again soon, once I block a portion of my day off.

I’m pretty regular at this Chipotle location. A few employees recognize us immediately, and they always treat us with respect and chat us up. It’s a good time coming here. I don’t know what it is about Chipotle, but I love my veggie burrito. It’s one of the best things I have ever had, and before you judge, know that my diet is limited because of digestive problems. Chipotle burritos have carbs with non-​irritating ingredients that fill me up, so I indulge.
I never have any trouble getting a little extra fajita veggies and sour cream. They make my burrito with a perfect balance, and they are always rolled to perfection. A burrito that isn’t rolled properly puts me in a very cranky and frustrated mood, and these guys do such a great job.
The staff here is phenomenal, I am always attended to and I think that they move their lines pretty quickly. Chipotle will always be packed. Either you can get dedicated employees who pay attention to the customer and the food, or you can get employees who just pay attention to the food. I know what I would choose.
This team deserves a giant gold star. I can’t say enough good things.

There’s a pretty large parking lot at this location so you’ll always fine a place to park. However, this place is always packed and understaffed. The line is always backed up because service is so slow! Be prepared to wait a while during lunch and dinner hours. This Chipotle location is also pretty stingy about their portions too. Ask for extra of everything when you can!
TIP: If you don’t want to waste your time waiting you can order online and skip the line. Just go to the cashier to pickup your order.
I would recommend going to the Chipotle on Baum. The service is MUCH faster.

I’ve always preferred Qdoba myself, but Chipotle food is pretty good. This location is always PACKED it seems, like literally lines all the way to the door whenever I’ve visited. But service is relatively quick and the quality has always been good. I do think the prices are on the high side considering your food doesn’t come with a side or a drink.
I’m disappointed though as on my last trip I needed to change my daughter, went into the restroom to find there is no changing table inside. They have a kids’ menu, they have highchairs, but no changing table? I don’t get that.

Ahh I really hate to do this but I don’t, I have eaten at chipotle since 2007.
I ordered a salad here, and the chefs and staff are getting this business model from food prep to cooking all wrong.
Resulting in some huge insults to my taste buds. I ordered a salad here with carnitas last Friday. The server girl notices the lettuce in container is lacking she scoops a sparse handful, then yells for more lettuce. I think great she’s putting more in, my salad bowl wasn’t even bedded with lettuce, nope nothing.
I know I should’ve said something here but I’m way too tired to care so I don’t, next comes a huge scoop of pork carnitas cool I’m down with that. Then my guacamole which actually somehow more guacamole ends up in my bowl then lettuce. I don’t figure this out till later.
The result once I blend my salad with fork is a ooey gooey non crispy mess. I take a bite…
Whoa chef were you salting the carnitas for a Mayflower voyage? Because all I tastE is salt city.
Ok someone’s over salting the pork, as I move on I find someone’s over salting the guacamole too and alas that’s the main flavor of my dish.
Then ewww the texture… Is more soupy then salad. Just all wrong guys so wrong.
I want to come back here but if I do I’ll be that annoying bossy person when I order because if these folks can’t make a salad it’s likely a burrito will short circuit some brainwaves.

I’m a serious Chipotle-​lover. I don’t know what it is about their burritos and bowls (relatively simple items), but it’s addicting. This new location is no exception. They have been very fast and pleasant in my experiences so far. It’s about a mile closer to than the Baum location which I previously frequented, so that’s also a plus.

The new Chipotle location is great!!! The best part is that it has decreased the line length at both East End locations. The employes are friendly and very generous with the portions.
I hope they create an outside area for the summer similar to Baum. The sidewalk is quite large so it has possibilities.

Yeah, the lowly black bean, high in fiber, tasty, and, it doesn’t cause as much digestive discomfort as some beans. But, I don’t understand the extreme fascination people have with Chipotle. It’s a burrito, and not a very good one at that. What made my burrito good was the half bottle of hot sauce I shook on it. The Chipotle idea is great, make your burrito as healthy or unhealthy as you want. I had brown rice, beans, and veggies on a whole wheat wrap. I mean it was okay, nothing I couldn’t do at home. and with a drink almost 9 bucks. I can make a dozen at home for that price, rice is cheap, a pepper, some onions, a can of black beans, and who doesn’t have a bottle or two of hot sauce in their fridge?
I’m not a huge fan, but I don’t hate it.

I wish this new location had opened while I was still living in Shadyside! Darn it! Its so close to my old residence that I would’ve been eating there at least three days a week! Oh well! At least it’s close to work!
Chipotle has an app you can use to order your food and I tried it out for the first time! It’s pretty easy to use and almost everything on Chipotles menu is on there (I didn’t see corn though). The app gives you the option to pay for your food with a credit/​debit card or pay when you pick up.
You can also choose the time you plan to pick up your food. When I arrived I had no issues walking up to the cash register and requesting my pre-​ordered meal. Then again, there were not a lot of people in line to begin with but it was still crowded in the dining area.
Chipotle is one of my favorite places but I’ve never liked going to the Baum location due to the lack of parking and the traffic. I’m glad this new location is open and with the Chipotle app it makes ordering more convenient! Yay!

Yes, its a non-​local fast food chain. I don’t care. It serves a purpose and it does a great job at it. Up until this opened, the only place to grab food in under 30 minutes in the neighborhood was McDonalds or Pizza Sola.
Chipotle, you’re barely able to be called Mexican, but I still love you.

This Chipotle just opened in February 2014 and is a nice addition to the new developments in the East Liberty neighborhood.
Burritos and Tacos. Does one need to say more? The menu is simple — tasty lime or brown rice, beans, freshly grilled meat (chicken, steak, barbacoa, carnitas), mild/​medium/​hot salsa, sour cream and cheese, lettuce, and guacamole. My burrito was great and actually better (not overloaded, right size) than in other Pittsburgh Chipotle locations.
If you decide to eat in you’ll find yourself on long tables (perfect for groups) or elevated bar tables and chairs. Nice but simple interior, with lots of natural light coming in. I like this store and will be back!
