This could be amazing but when you order inside, they put the hot rice, beans, protein & queso on, then the dish sits & waits too long for the cold toppings. I hate cold queso. Our chicken & rice was cold... & we ate there.
Idk why their trays are soaking wet when they put your dish and chips on top. That's pretty gross.
The location is great and restrooms were clean. We've had to clean a table to eat every time we've been here.

This is an honest review I had a custom burrito and chips with queso and I'm going to be complete honest. It was lackluster and bland NO FLAVOR Mexican food is robust with flavors cumin cilantro cayenne rosemary thyme. This had NONE AT ALL. Ive always wanted to try Chipotle but the money I spent in total was not worth it in the slightest highly disappointed I honestly want my money back. However if some season's and spices were added I'd be so happy

I hope the management and owners of the franchise are aware of their asset “Nolan”… he was positive and quick with all of the customers, and went out of his way to give exceptional service. This location does not skimp on portions…
