    The food was a mess. Asked for extra chicken they gave us none whatsoever. They barely put all carnitas in my tacos and smashed my tacos in the package. They are rude and disrespectful. DO NOT GO THERE.

    Received the wrong order, had missing items, and they didn’t handle it with care. The workers are rude and disrespectful and don’t take care of the food.

    I’ve ordered from many Chipotle locations in NYC and New Jersey for lunch and dinner, so I definitely have something to compare this to. Unfortunately, this location has by far the smallest portions I’ve seen. Normally, employees give about two full scoops of protein (like chicken). Here, I watched them put half a scoop — maybe ¾ at best. I asked for a normal portion, and they added another half scoop like it was a big favor. That’s honestly crazy. The most frustrating part is the portion size. If I’m getting half the food, I wish I could pay half the price. Lines are also slow and poorly managed. In the city, it takes about 15 seconds per customer. Here, it’s closer to a full minute per person, and with 10–15 people in line, you’re waiting at least 10 minutes. I’ve noticed that ordering online might get you a slightly better portion, but it’s inconsistent and shouldn’t be a gamble. Overall, between the tiny portions and slow service, this location really needs improvement.

    I just went inside and got two bowls to go. The food had no flavor, no salt or seasonings on the chicken. It was a horrible experience in general the place is dirty. The workers should be ashamed of their selves for serving me this awful food. I grabbed the root beer drink and that tasted better than the actual food unbelievable. This made me not want to come back to this location at all, if I can give a 0 stars I would.
