    I have never been charged for a side of sour cream. I spoke to customer service and they said they aren’t suppose to. Be aware of the greed this chiplote has.

    I had forgotten my card when I got there and the two people behind the counter were very sweet and held my food for me so I could run home and get it. The guy (I forgot to get his name I’m so sorry!) was helpful at suggesting items on the menu because I don’t eat here often. I would take one star off because of the price tho I knew that coming in. Overall very nice experience!

    I am allergic to cilantro, but I understand that sometimes the plain white rice isn’t always available since it gets mixed. I always ask “is there any plain white rice available?” of course, there’s not problem if there isn’t, but the this one guy i’m not sure if his name is kayden or something, not too sure, always has an attitude when his coworkers ask. Twice has he given a stink face and said “uh no”. (he was on cook today). The girl helping was sweet but he needs to fix his attitude.

    Step it up, Chipotle… you’re better than this! San Marcos, Texas, Chipotle off LBJ Drive, Thursday, Dec 18th, 5:02 PM. First off, the place looked like it was closed from the outside. When we walked in, the staff was friendly enough, but they took their time getting to me. It seemed like they were all tired or burnt out—possibly due to poor [management/staffing]? The vegetables on the line looked pretty beaten up, though the guy serving me was nice and grabbed some fresh veggies from the back. Overall, it just felt like they weren’t on their game, almost sad. The outside tables clearly hadn’t been washed for a while. I’m not usually a clean freak—I was just taking my 8 year old grandson out for a nice meal—but this is probably the last time he and I will visit. The photo shows how much dirt came off the table after I cleaned it myself. The place needs good energy and help. As a side note, I tried to make a review on Chipotle’s website by using their AI engine—that thing couldn’t help me! Take a look at the screengrab; this is a corporate problem. UPDATE: Chipotle Corp responded FAST. This is what I got: “Please get in touch with us at https://www.chipotle.com/contact-” But unfortunately, it’s puff—the contact link goes nowhere. It’s not a complete link! So, corporate messed this up, and the shit rolls downhill to the employees! Is Chipotle’s model cracking? Is corporate pushing customer promos and perks to employees while the employees are stuck with immediate, day-to-day frustrations they can’t fix? Was my experience isolated, or is it really just a wider disconnect between corporate’s future-facing incentives and the day-to-day pain employees feel? Why was my local store experience so broken? These are my opinions! My hope—Chipotle, we need you. Your food was great, and your employees were superstars! Please come back! I can only speak for that one store in San Marcos on LBJ Drive. I have not been to other stores so I don’t know. Chris E.

    Terrible, pathetic portions and an outright refusal to replace the food or refund my money. If you need to eat here order it in person because if you order it online they will screw you on the portions. Why? Because they know you probably won't go down there and even if you do... They tell you to call customer service... They have it all figured out.
