This is the best Chipotle location. The friendly staff is exceptional and food selection is always on point - even late at night. We drive the extra distance to this location because we are never let down and the staff is super cool. Thank you!

No ice and warm drinks to go with the crunchy rice. They could have at least told people before they paid for a fountain drink!

Chipotle… we need to talk. I got my carne asada burrito today, took the first bite, and immediately entered a spiritual battle. That steak was so godly chewy it felt like I was biting through a leather belt blessed by Zeus himself. I gave it a solid effort, thinking the next bite would be better… nope. Half of it went down my throat, the other half refused to leave my mouth like it had rent due. I ended up pulling the steak out of my throat like I was fishing for my dignity.
It was absolutely disgusting, traumatizing even, but here’s the thing… we’ve been through too much, Chipotle. You’ve fed me through heartbreaks, long days, and gym cravings. So despite our near-death experience today, I’m still giving you 5 stars.

This location seemed great for months until recently. My last online order that I asked for light rice was 3/4 rice, barely 4 pieces of carnita and forgot the chipotle ranch I paid extra for. To make matters worst this was on my free entree that took FOREVER to earn. The AI chatbot in the app offered me chips and guac for their mistake. Never again.
