We won't be returning to this location. 😞 The bathroom was so gross and the portion was pathetic. What a disappoint especially for what it cost. Sigh

Just wanted to give appreciation to associates Vinai and Darian.. They are extremely pleasant and personable. Everytime I come in they have exceptional service with great conversation and hopefully management sees this so they can get some recognition!

Always a pleasure ordering and having some Chipotle @ the Val Vista location. This time (2/15) we ordered catering (for 15) for pickup. The order was on time, correct, and again, as always, yummy. Thank you Chipotle!!

This restaurant is so dirty. I have been to multiple chipotle locations in the area, and I have not found one location that has been clean recently. The garbage is over flowing, the counters are dirty, the tables and chairs have garbage all over them, etc. Chipotle used to be so good but in the last couple of years, it appears they have gone down hill. I only took one photo. The only reason why I ended up getting my food was because I had a free entree to redeem. If not, I would have just left. Hopefully chipotle creates better standards like they used to have.
