Absolutely wild, this Chipotle experience.. My mother and I went in, last night, around 6:30pm. They were out of carne asada. Whatever, that’s fine. I asked for a salad, with carnitas. This is the very first time I had ever asked for the lettuce on the side, so it isn’t wilted when I have leftovers.. And thank goodness I did — BECAUSE THE LETTUCE WAS ROTTEN. It would have ruined my entire meal, had I not ordered it on the side.
I had it off to the side, down the table, whilst I was eating at home — and I could SMELL how rotten this lettuce was.
Like, forget to throw the salad bag in the back of the fridge away kinda rotten.
It blows my mind how an employee saw that, and thought it was appropriate to serve and sell to someone.
All around, employees didn’t have great attitudes.
I was given barely any carnitas — to the point of needing to cook a steak I had, at home, reserved for another meal; because I barely had any meat in my bowl.
I got Chipotle because I didn’t want to cook, last night — and ended up needing to, anyways.
Thank goodness I had some lettuce, on hand, also.
My mother got a carnitas bowl, and was charged near $5 for double carnitas — when she didn’t order double carnitas.
We didn’t notice all this until we were on the road, and back home — because of how chaotic the employees were, when making the food and checking us out.
Also, the chips were ridiculously stale; tasting days old.
AND TO TOP IT OFF.
I wasn’t gonna write this review. I was gonna call Chipotle, and speak to the manager to, simply, ask for refunds — for the extra meat, from my mother’s order; whilst asking for a full refund, for my order.
However, I can’t — all because it’s an automated system, that can’t understand basic English language.
I, clearly and calmly, went through the motions with this automated system — and it began going in circles, my having to repeat the same thing, multiple times.
Then, it began trying to take my order.
No one has time to deal with that sort of crap — or the experience we had, from this establishment, last night.
I intend to go in there, today, and request the refunds. Though, between being unable to even easily contact the store manager, over how poor an experience this was, at their location; and seeing the recent very poor reviews, similar to my own experience — this review felt reasonable to leave.
(The second photo is of after me mixing my bowl’s ingredients around — with almost no carnitas to be found).
