    98% of the time, I have no complaints. Usually I go in and get my food. Last visit I ordered online and picked it up. Everytime I order online, or through the app, the bowl I always get, is smaller portioned than it is when I order it in person. Other than that, the staff are friendly.

    Don't come after 8pm, they will be out of stuff and say they dont have anymore in the building! I honestly find it really hard to believe there completely out of those items in that building! I even asked how do you expect to open tomorrow without those items and she just apologized for not having those items! It wasnt just one, it was three! I find that lazy. And really to close faster. They don't close until 10pm! Very unsatisfied with serving night shift. The gentleman cashing out everyone was everyone friendly!

    I’ve eaten here a handful of times and it’s usually just fine but my delivery experience today was awful. Ordered through the Chipotle app and learned the hard way that they outsource to DoorDash. The driver decided to go pick up another order at Cane’s first and sat there for 15 minutes before even heading to Chipotle. By the time my food finally arrived, it was cold. That was just the start—part of my order was wrong, the quesadilla was burnt, and the rice in my bowl was so hard it was inedible. I tried to get help through the Chipotle app, but their AI “assistant” is a complete joke—just runs you in circles and never lets you reach an actual person. Calling the restaurant didn’t work either; all you get is another automated system telling you to go back to the useless app. Filing a complaint through the app was a headache, and all they promised was to “share my feedback with the restaurant.” That doesn’t fix anything. Customers shouldn’t have to wait 3–5 business days just to maybe hear back. The experience today was unacceptable from start to finish.

    Had ordered a kids chicken quesadilla meal, picked up my order and drove all the way home to find out the order of a chicken quesadilla, black beans and white rice was missing the quesadilla. Not sure how you forget the main part of the meal?
