The rice is never cooked when ordering from this location. Nothing like biting into rocks. Like seriously how hard is it to cook rice…

Chipotle – Stockdale Highway (Visited Sunday at 1:30 PM)
This was by far the worst Chipotle experience I’ve ever had. I ordered two bowls, and both were absolutely terrible. The food looked old, like it had been scraped together from yesterday’s leftovers. The presentation was awful, there was no flavor at all, and several of the ingredients I ordered were missing. My wife couldn’t even eat hers—it was that bad. The restaurant wasn’t busy, so there’s no excuse for the sloppy service or low-quality food. Everything about this visit was disappointing. Terrible food, terrible service — I’ll never return to this location again

The last time I went my burrito was really large and it went fast. Friendly service always makes it nice.

Been coming to this Chipotle for years, and it's always been great, never dissapointed. Even for being late night and close to closing the food was very good still.
