Everyone working at this location seems to be out of it. Portion size is extreme small and seems like the count the piece of protein you get.

Been going to this location for 3 years and it’s been good but as of recent months the staff from 10:45am - 3 pm tends to burn the chicken leaving it overly cooked and dry and when having low amounts they will give you scarps that’s unfair especially when you ask for more they say “ we have nomore “ when they do by delivery station. Please improve the food training and customer service.

The worst Chipotle around. Doesn’t matter what day of the week or time of day you go, you will not have a good time and your food will be beyond sub-par.

Was served a small portion in two bowls i ordered. Other Chipolte locations offer larger portions. Asked for a receipt and was told the machine wasn't printing receipts right now. Service was not great, no greeting, no smiles. Would not go back to this location!

I visited this location today, 11/1. The service is receiving 5 stars only because of Evelyn Rosario. I didn’t catch the other employee’s name, but I wish I had — her attitude left a lot to be desired.
If you’re out of all the protein, it’s best to notify the cook when food is running low. That way, when customers arrive, you can politely let them know that more is being prepared, rather than saying the cook “has other things to do” and hasn’t gotten to it yet. That kind of response makes a poor impression and would have earned only 1 star.
Thankfully, Evelyn stepped in and made sure I received what I came for. She ensured everything was fresh, was very polite, professional, and truly understands great customer service.
Evelyn, thank you! I truly appreciate your excellent service and your warm smile. I hope to see you on my next visit. 😊
