    My daughter went there to use her gift card and they cheated her by charging another person food to her card supposedly by accident. They did not reimburse her and made her pay out of pocket for the balance. The manager refused to fix the issue stating they had no way to do so.

    This chipotle location has not had meat in two weeks. We went there last week for lunch. We went inside and up to the ordering line and saw a big sign that said OUTAGE, and that they had basically no meat. No chicken, steak, carne Asada. Obviously I was quite disappointed, but figured it was a temporary thing. Then we went back the other day, about a week later. There was still a sign about this alleged “outage”. I understand sometimes that restaurants are out of stuff, so it wasn’t any more than an inconvenience. However, I cannot comprehend why or how this place is even open when they have zero meat in the building. All of this, as I said, has just been a minor inconvenience/annoyance. However, the reason for the poor review, is because I just called this location to inquire about the availability of the meats they’ve been supposedly out of, and my call gets answered by none other than one of those stupid AI clanker phone things. It was utterly useless. I was calling to ask a REAL person if the outage had been resolved. I said “let me talk to a real person” and the clanker said something like “I cannot help with that”. Why even have a phone number for the location if nobody answers it??? Honestly, I think I’m just done going to this chipotle location. Edit I’m sorry for being bitter. I’ve just really wanted chipotle for like two weeks now. We’re here now and the food is delicious. Still upset about the stupid robot phone system but the employees here are nice and the food is great. Just quite expensive for shrinking portions. Changing review from 2 to 3 stars.

    They haven’t had meat for over a week because their grill is broken. Horrible management.

    How does a chipotle run out of chicken, steak, beef, queso, chips and guacamole…for nearly a week?

    genuinely the worst time I have ever been to a chipotle. You guys use no toppings and then when asked for extra you don’t put EXTRA. If I am going to pay for extra bro give me extra not half of what a normal size scoop should be. Like im genuinely appalled at this. I wasted money on a mess. No rice. No cheese. Just sour cream mess all over
