    They kept messing up my online orders. There's always something missing in my order.

    I’m very disappointed with my experience at this Chipotle. I am vegetarian, and when I went to order yesterday, I watched the employee use the same thermometer in the meat items and then immediately dip it into the vegetarian food without sanitizing it. They only wiped it with a napkin, which does nothing to prevent contamination. This is a serious food safety concern. Vegetarian customers should not have meat products introduced into their food due to improper procedures. I could not order anything because I did not feel safe eating food that had been cross-contaminated. I hope management takes this seriously and trains staff to properly clean tools between ingredients. Until this is corrected, I cannot return to this location.

    You see the employees getting at eye level with the food to measure out teeny tiny unsatisfying portions. When they were almost out of black beans they put in as much as they could scrape out (not much) instead of waiting for the next batch. It’s fresh and flavorful but you’re left wanting when they put in too little of some items. There should also be more guac for it costing $3. I usually get a sofrita bowl. And there were barely sofritas in it. My first time back to Chipotle in a very long time, I thought they would’ve improved, not gotten worse.

    I genuinely believe Chipotle is running a social experiment called “How Many Times Will Someone Give Us Another Chance.” Every visit feels like the employees are in a silent protest. Ingredients are mysteriously “out” despite being right there, substitutions are made without consent (congrats on the surprise fajita-only section of your burrito), and asking for what you actually ordered feels like a personal attack. You can practically hear the resentment being folded into the tortilla. And the burrito itself? A structural nightmare. Instead of a balanced bite, you get a rotating tasting menu: one bite is 100% rice, the next is a rogue mouthful of sour cream, then suddenly it’s all beans like you unlocked a bonus level. Never all the ingredients together. Never peace. I don’t know who’s in charge of burrito distribution strategy, but it’s clear the goal is chaos. I leave every time confused, slightly hungry, and wondering why I thought this time would be different. Yet here I am… writing this review… knowing full well I’ll probably be back in three weeks.

    I went there, and the employees were so friendly. Just came back from the La fitness and only had my phone on me, and Apple Pay wasn’t working when checking out to pay. The worker was so nice and told me it was on the house even when I offered to give my info and pay next time. Great people and great vibe!
