    I love Chipotle and this has been a great location. Today I ordered to-go. When I got back to the office, the white rice in my burrito was not cooked. It was not undercooked but rather seemed as though completely uncooked grains were mixed into some cooked rice. I tried to call the store to let them know but talking to a person does not seem to be possible.

    Place is either understaffed or undertrained. I put it an online order and waited a good 10 minutes after the estimated time. Took me 10 minutes to get there after placing the order. The guac was just tossed together, they didn't really cut up much or mash things well. Taste was worse than other Chipotles by far. Staff seemed annoyed by those waiting for online orders despite it not being that busy on the line.
