  Tried the new Chipotle in town last night for the first--and last-- time. The food quality was okay but it seems that most of the items the servers suggest adding to every entree trigger a surcharge. Guacamole? Extra. Queso? Extra. By the time we were through the line our meal was far more expensive than a similar meal at a locally owned Mexican restaurant. In terms of atmosphere, there is none. The furniture it typical brutalist style with half of the seating comprised of raised stools anchored into the floor. The ceiling is exposed plywood and you can spy extra pieces of 2x4 left behind during construction scattered around the perimeter. The walls are bare. Really waiting for this trend of brutalist interior design to die off. Not every restaurant needs to have the warmth of a prison dining room. The food was okay but lacked flavor. The queso was bland with the consistency of warm mayonnaise. Nothing stood out as being exceptional (as in "exceptionally high") save for the price. Next time we'll go to Hacienda Cantina instead. Much better overall experience and it's locally owned.

  Went here for lunch, honestly when ordering, this is the cleanest chipotle I have been in. Often times I will go to other chipotles and the counter where they make your food will be a complete mess, the queso will look like it has been sitting out forever, however, this store was extremely clean on the inside.

  Been there twice since opening and both times have been extremely subpar for Chipotle. One time the burrito making station was such a mess that they attempted to clean off sour cream but the rag was too wet so it was puddles of wet sour cream and cheese with water mixture, it was so gross. They dragged my burrito through it and I didn't even eat it...I just threw it away because it was opening week and you could tell they were already stressed to the max and I didn't want to add the additional pressure, it wasn't worth it. However, when I came in today it was again another subpar experience for what Chipotle is known for. The entire burrito itself fit into the palm of my hand, not even touching the fingers... just the palm of my hand. The medium salsa didn't even have the consistency of salsa and was more like torn tomatoes. The topping station was dirty as well and for being a new restaurant it's been overall very disappointing. Because I am such a fan of Chipotle I will wait a bit and give a chance to get service kinks worked out and will try it again... However, if it's not greatly improved I'm not sure I'll try again.

  I have been here a few times and each time is a different experience. So, first of all.... The day time staff is amazing. Friendly all around. From the ones making my food, to the cashier, to the grill, friendly and fun all around. It's nice and clean and a very welcoming atmosphere. I've been in there a few times for lunch and it was all absolutely PHENOMENAL. Now, night shift...... Not friendly. Lots of acting like you're an inconvenience to them. It's slow, skimpy on ingredients, so much rudeness. It's dirty. Lots of standing around doing nothing, besides messing around with each other or being on their phones. I guess I'll be sticking with going their for lunch. It's a much better vibe. Do yourself a favor and stick with the lunchtime crowd.

  Way to go Pekin. Only been open a month and the amount of bad reviews is crazy. Went there last night about 5:30, not busy, which is kind of telling if your slow during prime dinner rush. Walked in looked at the overpriced menu, the sloppy looking prep line and dried out looking meats and left. How long before this place closes?
