    Your typical delicious chipotle. Good for quick Mexican. Friendly staff, but I've had better chipotle elsewhere

    There are Qdoba people, Chipotle people, El Fuego People and none of the above. I am more a Qdoba (sans tortilla, sans cheese, try to get the calorie count down). Meanwhile, Chipotle (which is now corporate fast food owned) is an inexpensive and FILLING (even the salad or bowl options are HUGE) lunch or quick dinner. Their meats (Chicken & Beef are the only ones i have tried) are spicier (more peppers??) than Qdoba. Also they use white meat - Qdoba uses thighs. It's OK by me. A-OK - in the true yelp 3 star way. This location is new and relatively clean (crowded at lunch time on weekdays - deserted at dinner.).

    The first time I had Chipotle was when I was in Chicago for a conference. I thought it was really good at the time. Somewhere along the line, I guess I saw Chipotle for what I think it truly is...Qdoba with a different name. I won't do the whole Chipotle v. Qdoba battle, but I find it interesting that this particular Chipotle is located a few feet away from Qdoba on Walnut Street. I ordered a chicken burrito the last time I ate here and it wasn't bad, but I truly do not see the difference in taste between a burrito from Chipotle and one from Qdoba. I'm convinced they're under the same ownership.

    Good location. Fast service and short line at 9:30PM on a Monday. Plenty of seating and super clean bathrooms.

    When two lonely women lock eyes in Chipotle, a bond is made. A connection, an understanding between two fake-Mexican-loving overeaters.

    Decent fast-casual food. Better than Qdoba. Salad bowls and guacamole are pretty good. The space for sitting and eating is comfortable and well lit.

    Glad to see a Chipotle make its way outside of freaking University City and City Line Avenue. As a transplant from Maryland, an area that thrives off Chipotle, it's good to have one in the city I now live in. Cannot go wrong with almost any item here as they are all DELICIOUS. Especially the vegetarian burrito and chicken burrito. Their guac is phenomenal for a chain, so I definitely recommend that as well. All in all, I will be visiting this location more often when I'm on that side of Walnut Street.

    What's to love about Chipotle in Center City? - space - signage - ingredients - staff The space is beautiful. A row of tables bisects the restaurant vertically allowing for two paths: to and from the counter. There are also stools overlooking Walnut Street and a wood-paneled booth. It has high ceilings and gets plenty of light. For such a narrow space, it is efficiently arranged. The signage is simple and clear. You may choose from tacos, burritos and several different types of meats. The first sign states the local, organic, sustainable nature of the meats available: a huge selling point. The staff are knowledgeable, accommodating, yet still fast. I told them that I was allergic to lime, and they immediately confirmed with the manager which dishes had lime and what I my options were. There is lime in the rice, guacamole, corn, and all variants of beans. I went with the carnitas (pulled-pork) tacos on soft shells with lettuce and spicy salsa. The pulled pork was juicy and tasty, and the spicy salsa was flavorful yet not too hot. The soft taco shells were also moist. Overall, the space is beautiful and the food is tasty, quality, and cheap. Solid.

    I went to the Chipotle in Havertown, next to Panera at Township Line and WC Pike. The food here is awesome, but you already know this. Organic and local ingredients, who can argue with that? There is a good variety even for my kids, who are very picky about what they eat. The only reason I won't give five stars is because parking is pretty challenging with the Giant and all the other stores in the lot.

    This Chipotle is the best Chipotle. The team they have working the assembly line is friendly, fast, and motivated. The burrito I get is always spot on and none of the ingredients are undercooked. The Chipotle in Abington (see my review) should come and observe this Chipotle to learn how the operation is supposed to run. 5 stars to the GOAT

  • JUSTINE M.

    Chipotle, overall, I enjoy. This location can get the job done (chicken burrito bowl typically for me). However, as I compare this location to several others in CA, they could go a bit faster. Through observation, they should pay more attention the the patrons' ahead of me's orders as they tend to mess up which causes a delay in the process. But I still enjoy Chipotle!

  • Melissa D.

    Came here for a vegan veggie bowl. They messed up my first bowl by putting chicken in it. When they made me a new one, they put sour cream on it. When i said i didnt want sour cream, they tried to scoop it off with a plastic ramekin. I ended up just saying nevermind and leaving. I wasnt a fan of being rushed through line anyway. Now im just frustrated and hungry. I dont usually waste my time at fast food places, but i thought the non GMO ingredients sounded like a good lunch choice on my break. I guess i will possibly try another location sometime? One star because they are gmo free.. One star because i do feel bad that i left. Im not saying not to come here, but i reccomend to be very specific and clear to the employees so they dont mess yours up like mine!

  • Ni K.

    Crowded. Always during lunch. Keep that in mind. I would have given 4 stars if not for the lack of seating. Most of their tables sit four. Most of the time I go there is one person taking up a whole table. So you either wait, take your food to go or eat across from a stranger. This is probably the only thing I don't like about this place. Otherwise food is great, employees are nice and the place is clean. Oh.. Never ever eat the lemon wedges they have waiting near the soda fountain. You should know why...

    (To the tune of The Chainsmokers' hit, Kanye) I was feeling hunger pangs Didn't seem to fade away Despite gum I was chewing Tried to get 'za from Bufad Service was just really bad What were they all doing? Took BSL to the Walnut Street Stop Looked around... Looked around.... Then I just knew, that the food I would chew would be foundddd.... I wanna eat CHIPOTLEEEEE It keeps me oh so fullll-yay! Barbocoa in my belllayyy All day... Chipoootttleee, yeah, yeah. That said, this Chipotle in particular, while delicious as per usual, has some issues with design. Namely, there's no real funnel for folks trying to wait in line for their food ordering process to begin. This results in a kind of splotchy "line jumble" that isn't really a line at all, mostly just a jumble. Not a problem in the middle of a late afternoon, but around lunch time.... trouble. Not a buncha seats. This WOULD be a problem... if not for the other Chipotle about 3 blocks away.

    Now, let's keep in mind I'm comparing the Chipotles here in Philly to my fair, fun and beloved state of California. Pros: -consistently great taste of the food. Steak or chicken, the meats are delicious. The veggies and dressings are fresh too. -the tables are clean and even though this place is always busy, you can always snag a table. -another thing, the packaging of the product is cute! Aesthetics are important too you know! A nice, decorated recycled brown bag for the food is cute :)

    I love chipotle! The staff here is generally really friendly and helpful. Food is always great. Love the burrito bowls. Usually the line is not too long. You can also pre order online and pick up.

    I'm going to be real. This is my go-to fast food minus chick fil la- not open on Sundays so I can't be totally devoted to that. I come here 3-4x a week on average. I don't like cooking very much so this is the place I go to for lunch and dinner. I get the half chicken/half steak...I think this is the best way to maximize the amount of meat you get. You get charged for the steak but I think it's worth it. This is first on my top ranked fast food place. Close tie to chick fil la but like I said..chick fil la ain't open Sunday so I give it to Chipotle. The line goes by pretty quick which is also why I ranked it above popeyes because who doesn't like fried chicken? #amiright

    Best guacamole and chips hands down. BOOM! Best burritos and burrito bowls too. Now it just needs beer to wash all that deliciousness down.

    Well-run, efficient, tasty, dependable, quick. I order the burrito bowl every time, changing up the protein, and am never disappointed. Very consistent as far as quality and taste, and love that the beans no longer are cooked with bacon grease. Well done Chipotle! What more can you ask for?

  • Rizwan A.

    It is Chipotle. It is better than the place you go to. It is better than Qdoba (and always has been and always will be). There's nothing specific about this Chipotle that's different than the rest so in other words, you can rest assured that their recipe for success is still working. Occasionally it gets very busy. It does not however, occasionally get less tasty. In fact, it gets more, and MOARE tasty!! Also, if you don't like chipotle, you're probably just not ordering enough of it. You need to spend at least 20 bucks. Get guac on everything man, like seriously everything, even your soda. And you can't not get chips, unless you're like made out of freakin chips, in which case BRAVO sir. You basically HAVE to get chips and guac. Also, if you don't eat here at least once a day then you are probably some type of inhumane ungodly looking creature and we shouldn't be friends.

    It's a chain and it's tasty, what more do you want? This Chipotle has really mastered the art of fast, healthier food. If you walk into this Chipotle (I pronounce it chih-pot-tull) and you see a line reaching to the door, don't fret. You will be at the front in about 5-7 minutes. They have an assembly line working back there and they know how to move a crowd. I go for the veggie burrito bowl. With the veggie option, you get the guacamole (pronounced wack-a-mohl) for free. If you want it as a topping, it's going to cost you a couple bucks. It's pretty easy to keep vegan too which is the normal route I go. It's under 9 bucks and it doesn't leave you hungry mid afternoon. In the fast food world, I think Chipotull is winning and I'll continue to support them.

  • Brandon K.

    Savory, delicious, great value, and fast (usually). This Chipotle has a convenient location in Center City if you live in the area, but I imagine it's a real pain to find parking. Delicious food, however the setup of space (can get very crowded) and noise level (usually on the louder range) make it not the ideal place to dine in. I usually just grab and go. Rundown: Burrito bowl to go with tortilla on side Mix brown and white rice Extra rice instead of beans 1/2 steak and 1/2 chicken 2 scoops pico 2 scoops corn Lettuce on top Cheese in a cup Outcome: Slide that 1lb bad boy into a bag, grab some napkins and 2 forks, I'm usually good for two meals. This meal was the single most item I craved when I was in Africa for 3 weeks. Either very sad...or just very awesome food...maybe a little of both.

  • Aria S.

    Just like any other Chipotle (point of chains) so I won't go on and on. 1. They offer sofritas. For my fellow vegetarians or alternative eating friends, try them! They're very well sauteed! Apparently they have a ton of sodium (thanks Mayur C.) so if you're sensitive, check it the deets online. 2. During lunch time, this line is basically at the door and ridic intimidating. It goes go by VERY quickly though. Pros: goes by quickly. Cons: You better know wtf you want to order cause there is no time when you are up there to ponder between black bean or pinto.

    Chipotle is my go-to hangover food on a Saturday/Sunday morning. I will wait anxiously like a little kid on Christmas for it to be 11am so I can go get my burrito to start easing my whiskey-induced pain courtesy of the night before. Rarely do I eat at this location. It's not just because 1)I look like a hot mess when I roll in there or 2) because, let's face it, it is impossible to look attractive while burrito is falling every which way on your hands and face. Rather, the restaurant can be pretty crowded and it's difficult to find a seat depending on what time of day you go. I have never had bad service here so I am happy about that. Though, I can't help but get a tad peeved when they tell me that "guac is extra". Yes, I know, what does this look like amateur hour? Just heap on the goodness, I'm not concerned about the cost. My review is now just about as big as chipotle's burrito which, for those of you who don't know, are huge. I can't speak to the delayed effects of Chipotle (which some people can unfortunately experience) but I can personally attest to its ability to please my taste buds and stomach.

    Nom Nom Nom What's there to say? If you've eaten at one Chipotle, you've eaten at them all. The food is consistently good, and I can't get enough. My husband, on the other hand, isn't a fan so I go for lunch when he's at work to get my Chipotle fix. I feel like I'm cheating on my husband with Chipotle, but do I care? No. I'm addicted, and I love their guac.

  • Lauren S.

    I love Chipotle I wish they had one closer to my place. This is probably the closet one but its downtown in a not so easy area to park so unless I wan to walk 25 minutes or a burrito I only hit it up once and a while. Line move fast they were extra generous on the gacu which is a super plus I hate when people are stingy, especially if you are paying extra for it. I tend to get the veggie burrito it comes with gacu but occasionally I get something else and usually add it.

  • Mayur C.

    I feel a bit silly writing a review for a chain fast food restaurant, but everyone's doing it so why not! Most of you probably know how good the food is, so I won't go too much into that. However, just be aware that this location is THE prime Chipotle in the city. There is one on 12th/Walnut, but this one attracts basically everyone in the Rittenhouse/Financial District area so definitely expect it to be packed from 11:30am to 2:30pm any given weekday. Even on the weekends, it can get somewhat packed around these times. The line does however go faster than one may initially think. The service is pretty standard. You do get the stereotypical employees every now and then that are pretty stingy on the ingredients (which definitely doesn't work for a vegetarian like myself!). However, on the contrast, sometimes they hook you up with extra stuff, especially when they're closing up for the night or when they're closing early like on NYE. I wish there was more seating in here, but I guess I've mostly taken it to go and eaten at work so I guess I can't complain much. Last but certainly not least, FYI they just raised prices so a veggie entree is about $7.50 now :(.

  • Ari N.

    I hate this location. I eat enough Chipotle to know I'm getting skimped hard on the meat at this location. Whenever I have any requests, some tall blonde schmohawk has to come in and turn down my request. If it weren't that every other Chipotle provides the same exceptionally great service, setting the bar high, I would think I was being unreasonable. Instead I just cry on the inside and die a little while I bite into mostly tortilla. This place basically makes me a vegetarian but I'm probably slowly becoming anemic from iron deficiency. GIVE ME THAT MEAT BABY!! Extra stars given because the blonde guy wasn't here today and the rest of the team (sans meat provider) were efficient and polite and wrapped one fine "steak" burrito.

    Minimal indigestion. Fast line. Cheap. Huge portions. Always get the barbacoa, get a burrito bowl with extra black beans and skip the rice and enjoy your low carb meal.

  • Thuy H.

    I love Chipotle! It's the best place for fast mexican food. However, this one isn't the best of them. Don't get me wrong, I come here often bc I love the food, but the lines are RIDICULOUS!!! And sometimes, I felt a if they were rushing so bad putting things together that it sometimes spills out of the bowl. And if you have never ordered from chiptole before, I feel as if they rush you. I felt so overwhelmed the first time I ever went here. It's a what do you want and they just scoop away. I felt like there was no time to look at the items they have. So, I then resorted to ordering online. It makes the whole experience so much better! You walk in, skip the lines and watch all the stares of people standing in line thinking in their heads like..wtf!! HAHAHA. I have waited a few times, but not as long as if I ordered there. My fav - Burrito bowl w/ brown rice, tomato salsa, hot salsa, corn salsa (yes, I know...it's tons of salsa, but sooo good), black beans, lettuce, cheese, and barbacoa. I skip the sour cream and guac (gotta watch my girlish figure...lol. JK) I really wish there was a chipotle near where I lived. I would probably go everyday. Hmm, maybe it's a good thing I don't live near one. I'd prob have a heart attack.

  • Wayne W.

    I enjoyed this chipotle as I do any other. This one did not particularly stick out in my mind as far as the food goes because they offered the same choices for food as the others. The place itself was very cramped and a little uncomfortable standing in line because the tables were right next to you so you almost felt like you were hovering over their food which I did not like feeling like that and I am more then sure they did not appreciate it as well. The line was long when I got here but, they were on the faster side of some chiopotles they were really churning and burning to get the line moving which is always a plus. The staff was friendly and efficient because not only were they going very quick they were getting everyone's orders right. Which I think is actually the most important part. Parking was nearly impossible I did not bring a car as I ran here from school but, it did not look like there was anything but street parking and that was so few and far between that if you have to drive here you might want to choose another chipotle. They are also doing roadwork in that area around this time so that also cuts out a lot of parking and really backs up traffic.

    What can I say about Mexican fast food? Well, I think the fact that I gave it four stars to begin with says a lot. I mean, 4 stars for a place where you order your burrito over a pane of glass? And it's a chain with locations in all major metropolitan areas? Is that blasphemy? If it is, I don't care. These cats do a fine job of making burritos and bowls and salads and tacos, and I want everyone to know it. The thing that drove me to finally head to yelp and review them was the other day I decided to order pinto beans instead of black beans for the first time, in I don't know, ever? I knew for a fact, from a vegan friend, that the pinto beans have bacon in them. But the burrito chef let me know as I was ordering, so I would not get something I didn't want! My friend had been up in arms saying that they didn't tell you about the bacon and Chipotle be damned. But, I guess they've changed they're wily ways and they're now on the straight and narrow. The backbone of the 4 star review is that, for the most part, every meal I've gotten from this establishment has been tasty, made from quality ingredients and well put together. I don't think I've been disappointed more than once, and that was from some steak that was more on the rare side. They just gave me the option of getting my money back or getting a new bowl. I chose chicken and I was a-ok. Might be good to ask how new the steak is, since they seem to take it off the grill while it's still rare and let it cook while it waits to become a part of your lunch.

  • Christian H.

    So I'm a fan of the fast food burrito-kill me. I let my friend in on my little secret, and now we're both crazy fans of the fast food burrito. First of all, it's really hard to find a seat here during the lunch rush and the dinner rush. That's just the way things are. Second of all, you'll defiantly have indigestion and mad diarrhea if you try eating this before you wait 5 hours from when you ate before. The burritos are huge and cheap (it's fast food) and you can build them yourself. I recommend pinto beans and white rice.

    Upon the urging of daughter, we went to Chipotle this evening. While I love their burritos, this was the first time that I had the displeasure of eating a steak burrito that I did not like. Five pieces of steak were mostly fat. I understand that the fat gives the steak most flavor, but I'm sure that my burrito would have tasted better if the pieces of steak had been leaner. I still like Chipotle, but I'll probably consider having something other than a steak burrito.

  • Willie X.

    Fast food with a more upscale feel. Food quality is always very good and the portions are big. The choices for what type of food is more limited so if you're looking for a large variety, I would say look somewhere else. It really depends on what mood you're in, if I'm looking for more variety, I almost always go to Qdoba; however if I'm looking for a solid burrito and that's it, Chipotle all the way!

  • Pranav K.

    I went here about 15 minutes before closing. Instead of telling me that they had run out of most things the guy started making my order. He put literally 5 pieces of chicken on my order, no beans, no vegetables and when I asked him what was going on one of the other women comes in and claims this is the usual portion size of chicken. When I complained and told her I'd been here enough times to know that was not the case the guy making my order agreed to add in sofritas. If I hadn't complained all I was going to get was rice and 5 pieces of chicken. I am disappointed that there was no apology, they charged me full price for a sub standard product. Another guy came in after me and made the right choice by going to qdoba. I'm going to do that in the future and you should too.

    Chipotle is a staple in my diet. I hit the Cherry Hill location literally 4 times a week. I'm just trying to spread the Chipotle stoke. I'm re-copying some of my Chipotle "lessons learned" from my Cherry Hill review here. 1. Don't fear the salad --It's essentially a bowl with some lettuce on the bottom. I throw a little white rice on. 2. Skip the dressing --It's unnecessary (and it's made from crappy oils) -- just get all three salsas and you are golden. 3. Barbacoa is really dependable --It's also the only meat on the menu that is not cooked with soybean oil (soybean oil = not desirable). I get the steak when it looks fresh off the grill. 4. Guac rules 5. Get shredded lettuce on top of the guac -- keeps it from sticking to the lid. 6. Skip the soda, pimp the lemons --I ask for a cup for water -- squeeze three lemons in and fill with water. Lemon aid, for free. Honestly, the Cherry Hill location gives this one a run for its money. This location doesn't quite hold up in terms of service and quality. But, by all means, it's still an extremely solid Paleo / gluten free option for under 10 bucks. Rip it.

    I am not sure whether it is Chipotle in general or just this particular location, but WOW this place has gone downhill fast. Their ingredients used to be great quality, but now it's all nasty. I ordered a salad and got more leaves of cilantro than actual lettuce. Or at least I think I did. I couldn't actually tell if there was lettuce in the bowl under the 65 pounds of salsa they slopped on. What a hot mess of a place. Also, there is literally nothing left that isn't encrusted in cilantro. It's been real, but see ya never, Chipotle.

    Oh Chipotle, I think our love affair is coming to an end. I've noticed in the past few months that you are serving considerably less food in your bowls than in the past and this makes me extremely sad considering I'm paying about the same cost. Let's be honest for a second here, I cheated on you and went to Qdoba the other day. I got my regular - the bowl (er, "naked burrito") - with the same toppings and add-ons for $3 less that was overflowing with deliciousness. This is so hard for me, but I'm sorry - it's over. I'll miss you and your snazzy music selection

  • Tyler R.

    My coworkers adore Chipotle. At least three of them get a burrito at least once a week if not three times. There's good reason for this. First, Chipotle has the cleanest look and feel of any Mexican fast food joint around. It's classy, modern, and the offerings are very similar. Second, the food, as you will read on their menu, is locally sourced and organic (at times). Third, the food looks and tastes fresh-- easily the biggest positive. Finally, the proportions are filling. The reason for four stars is less about the fact it's a fast food joint that doesn't have a second to slow down. You enter the assembly line, you order your food, and the cashier is more interested in getting to the next person than serving your needs. That's expected. It's about the fact that regardless of the clean, modern feel it's $7 for a burrito that is mostly rice. Sure, it's the size of a small child, but it doesn't justify the ratio of rice to meat/veggies. It's true. I'm a fan of Chipotle. I'll go back, but I wish they'd double up the veggies for me and limit the rice.

  • Ed C.

    My partner and I come here often for lunch when shopping on Walnut St. The vegan options are limited, but good. I usually get a black bean burrito, however, once I ordered the pinto beans and did not know they were cooked in lard! I tasted it immediately and the manager was kind enough to replace it and give us coupons for a future visit. I will definitely continue coming here!

  • Mallory D.

    I'm not sure I get all the Chipotle hype. Especially this location. It is extremely narrow and near impossible to find seating at lunchtime. The staff seem to be almost robotic...don't dare ask a question about rice when they shout "chicken, beef or pork." It will completely throw off their groove, and you will be on the receiving end of a nasty little look. I speak from experience. The ingredients are fresh, I guess. But when they all mix up in your little bowl or burrito, they are indistinguishable from one another. Nothing special here my friends.

    I often find it difficult to find a quick meal in Center City that is somewhat healthy and fast, with great taste and quality products. Chipotle Mexican Grill in Rittenhouse Square comes to the rescue! The food is always piping hot and fresh. I have been to the location four times, and during each visit I found the line fully stocked with food that was fresh, hot and recently stirred. The store has many healthy options that fit into a 500-750 lunch diet. My recommendation is the Burrito Bowl with the Barbacoa. According to their website, the shredded beef Barbacoa is actually lower in fat than several of their other meat dishes. This location now served brown rice - which combines the cilantro flair of the white rice, with a light nutty flavor. Other lower fat and lower calories options include the tacos, the burrito and the salad. (The meals fit so well into my calorie plan that I can even get some full fat shredded cheese.) While this store gets very busy (up to 15 people in line during my peak lunch hour visit), the lines move super fast. The staff hardly has a second to think as they are so focused on getting you in and out the door to get you back to your office. Service is important to me -- and I have found the crew members here are always on their toes and extra efficient. The only downside to this newer Chipotle location is the lack of seating. During almost all of my visits the dining tables have been full. However, there is something to be said about being popular! My recommendation for healthy lunch: Barbacoa Bowl with Brown Rice, Pinto Beans, Extra Salsa For a treat (not on the diet plan), don't skip the tortilla chips! They by far are the best in Philadelphia with a hint of salt and lime. Better yet, get a bag to go!

    I know it's just a Chipotle but... ITS A CHIPOTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!! it feels so spacious (I wasn't there during a busy time but even so, the ceiling is really high and makes it feel more open). i love the seating, stools at tables all the way back the narrow restuarant (but not narrow in a bad way). It's so nice and clean and new. The employees are happy and nice (they haven't had time to hate their jobs yet probably). There's this really cool Aztec-looking art on the wall. Chipotle itself has really awesome fast food that I definitely prefer to Qdoba. They use a lot of fresh, organic, and local produce and though I don't eat meat, I'm pretty sure they're behind fair and humane practices. Good job, Chipotle, for placing yourself one block from my work.

    I love Chipotle! Not just this location, but just about every location I've been to. Chipotle is by far the best "fast-food" style mexican place out there, miles above places like Qdoba or Moe's, and light years past Taco Bell. Chipotle not only offers delicious items (their spicy salsa is the best), but they are fast, efficient, and in no way skimpy. Obviously, prices are a little high for fast food, but the extra couple bucks are well worth it. So glad they opened one up in Center City, and looking forward to many more of these opening up all over the city!

    Hi. My name is Alicia and I'm a guacamole addict. There. I said it. These things can't be helped. Or can they? Chipotle certainly gave it a go! I like the burrito bowl. Picture it: last week. Cold, tired, and hungry. I passed by a Chipotle and stopped. Is this real? I thought it was Qdoba or nothing. Alas! I get in line and decide to order my usual from home. Rice, fajita onions no beans! Chicken, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and a heaping spoon of guac. NOM. I can hardly stand to talk about it because I miss it so. Point of this is I'm dramatic and I love Chipotle. I thought it'd be salty like sometimes back home but no! No salt overload, good quality, and delicious. Plus the service was good, they came and checked on us like a real place. I did notice my friend's burrito was on the small side so 4 stars it is, though I'm pained to say it.

    I understand the the draw that Chipotle holds for poor college students and young adults... its a ton of food for not a lot of money, but that's all it is, and it doesn't even keep you full very long. Everything is luke warm and nothing tastes fresh or even good. The only reason I got dinner here was because the boyfriend had a BOGO coupon and I figured it'd be a cheap way to do dinner. I got the bowl, not the burrito (I have some crazy thing against burritos, don't ask...), and didn't eat more than half before thinking "why the heck am I eating this..." Never again.

    i cant remember what life was like before i knew the downright delicious drops of heaven commonly known as chipotle burritos. sometimes i order ahead via iphone chipotle app. sometimes i dont. it just hits the spot after a long day at work when i dont want to cook and pizza isnt on my tummy's radar. so thanks for never judging me when i come here too often.

    I love that the food is locally sourced and fresh, and you can really taste it. The burrito bowl is hands down my favorite item to get here with brown rice, a ton of veggies, chicken, black beans, salsa, tomatoes and cheese. I have loved the service I have gotten here.

    I wonder how many people in the city got a buy one get one free coupon from Chipotle like I have, the place was packed. Luckily I got a table in the former lofty Susanna Foo space and while I had to order lunch, my companion kept watch on the table. The space is pretty nice, clean and brand spanking new with great lighting. I've never been to a Chipotle since most of them are in the burbs and I don't drive. So I've ordered two burritos, one barbacoa and one steak. Frankly I didn't know what barbacoa was as it didn't state it on the menu, I know it means barbecue but I don't know whether it was beef or pork, turns out, it's beef. At the assembly bar, the server steamed the tortilla slightly and put the sauce, meat and rice and beans on top, then it's passed on to another person to put on sour cream, cheese, salsa and lettuce. You can pay extra for some guacamole. The end product is huge. I can hardly finish one and I'm a big guy. I have to say though that the sour cream mellow out a lot of flavor, so the various available Tobasco sauces were welcomed. I love the steak cubes even though there's not much of it, it provided a chewy bite that provides variety to the other textures. The corn salsa also added some sweetness. I would like the whole thing to be grilled to a crisp and I would also have welcomed a steak sauce but it'd be quite unauthentic. With a drink, it'll be about $10 a person which is reasonable. Again, the whole burrito is quite filling, so it's possible that you'd share one of this with a friend. They also have bowls, taco (x3), salad and chips and salsa available. If they could salt the meat a little bit more to add some flavor, it might be better but I surely don't mind it, especially with a free coupon. Nothing wins my heart over faster than free food. Is anybody else appalled that a tortilla is 200-300 calories? That's the downsize of listing the calorie values of each ingredient isn't it?

    not much to say but: FINALLY!!

    Cool looking place. I definitely feel like I went here on a bad day. Everyone tells me that Chipotle is the best mexican fast food chain (I can't believe this is even a category, it used to be just Taco Bell..) I can find. I gave them an easy one my first time here, I usually go with the complex burritos, etc. But decided to go for a chicken quesadilla for my first experience at Chipotle. I think they forgot to grill it. It was pretty expensive for chicken, cheese and a tortilla and fell apart as soon as I lifted it up. I'll definitely give this place another try because of the good things people say about it, but for my first visit, I was extremely disappointed.

    (3)
  • Lily L.

    This is absolutely our go to spot for cheap eats. If you can't decide on which meat you want, they let you do half/half. I usually do half chicken and steak and they're both awesome. Just simple and good fast food.

  • Gale S.

    Meh - I don't know what I was expecting, but I suppose for a vegetarian whose choices here are limited to one thing, I should have realized I was just going to get something pretty basic. Good? Yes. Fresh? Oh, very. In fact, that THAT's probably the big draw here - everything is super fresh and that shines through. Cheap? Yes! Win! But I can make seasoned veggies at home. I wish I had more to say - I wanted to LOVE Chipotle, but I was impressed with everything BUT the taste. Employees were so nice I wanted to take them all home. Place was clean, even the restroom. I may be back, if only because I feel confident of product quality, price point and staff, but I can't say it'll be my go-to. This makes me sad, but....I know for a fact that there ARE locations of Chipotle that carry faux meat for their burritos and tacos. GET WITH IT, center city Chipotle! I need some seitan in the mix, here! THEN you get your 5 stars, I promise.

    (3)
  • Eric L.

    Here's what I like about the place. The vegetarian options. I eat here at least once a week. Every time I get the same thing: a vegetarian burrito or vegetarian bowl with white rice, black beans, fajita vegetables, and guacamole. It's somewhat Healthy. Sort of. For fast food that is. And it tastes pretty good too. The meat looks terrible to me, so I never go near it. In any event, i prefer it to the other Mexican place up the block.

    (3)
  • Autumn P.

    let me tell you... i absolutely loathe chain mexican food. BUT, this is actually some good stuff. fresh and simple ingredients, clean place, and not too expensive. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite quickie food stops in center city. oh and p.s. their guacamole is actually really good, dont be afraid if your an avocado snob like me :}

  • Patricia G.

    I'm not a fan of Mexican food so I had never heard of Chipotle, but the guy I was on a date with said he wanted a burrito and it had to be Chipotle. So, we drove into center city (it took about 40 minutes) and found Chipotle. The guy behind the counter did a great job helping me decide what to put in my bowl. It was really good, I was pleasantly surprised. Another employee came by while cleaning up and asked how we were doing. she chatted for a few minutes - very nice. I highly recommend the stop

    AWFUL!!!!!! Came in today with my bf we just came from the Phillies game, 13$ for a burrito and drink (it's a fast food place) the food was terrible and my bf was vomiting shortly after. The cashier/girl with the tattoos on her arm was beyond pushy I said I wasnt hungry and was watching calories, she then went on to describe in detail what I should order. No thanks I'll stick to Qdoba if I want cheap (mexican) fast food or El fuego.

  • Heather L.

    As a former Maryland resident I was excited to see a Chipotle appear near my office, and the staff at this location is phenomenal. Service is always fast and friendly, and if you're a once-a-week-or-more regular with the web orders, as I am, quite quickly they recognize you and have your bag ready to hand over when you get to the counter. Qdoba is closer to my work, but I've not darkened their door since this Chipotle opened.

  • Jay D.

    ok once and a while. a little better than qdoba. their guac is really good.

  • Pong C.

    I went when it first opened and used my debit card to pay. Next thing I know, I got a BOGO coupon in the mail! I wonder if they just sent it to everyone or if they got my information from my card, however it happened, I'm not complaining because I'm going to go back to this very pretty space for a chicken burrito that has tortilla that doesn't stick to my teeth (as compared to Qdoba) and perfectly prepared rice (as compared to Qdoba's) for double the yum!

  • Stephanie P.

    #70 I feel obligated to start off this review with a quote from the boyfriend - "Everything in SoCal is better than in Philly." Now, you can hate me for putting that out there, but I stand by it, especially in terms of Mexican food. I'll admit that, yes, I was slightly giddy when I saw that Chipotle sign in the window and, yes, I sometimes had dreams of the guacamole and sour cream goodness that Chipotle has to offer. However, walking into this Chipotle made me slightly nervous. To quote a fellow patron - "This is like a runway!" The walk to the counter alone is enough to make you reconsider the treacherous amount of calories you're about to consume. The quality wasn't that different when compared to Qdoba's and the prices are comparable. However, as much as it pains me to say it, Qdoba's food might actually be a smidge fresher. The service wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't as attentive as it could have been. Plus, would it have hurt them to smile? The long faces really didn't make for an appetizing time. Overall, eating at Chipotle this past Thursday made me miss home that much more - 50 days and counting!

  • Zach L.

    This Chipotle is the best Chipotle. The team they have working the assembly line is friendly, fast, and motivated. The burrito I get is always spot on and none of the ingredients are undercooked. The Chipotle in Abington (see my review) should come and observe this Chipotle to learn how the operation is supposed to run. 5 stars to the GOAT

    (5)
  • JUSTINE M.

    Chipotle, overall, I enjoy. This location can get the job done (chicken burrito bowl typically for me). However, as I compare this location to several others in CA, they could go a bit faster. Through observation, they should pay more attention the the patrons' ahead of me's orders as they tend to mess up which causes a delay in the process. But I still enjoy Chipotle!

    (3)
  • Melissa D.

    Came here for a vegan veggie bowl. They messed up my first bowl by putting chicken in it. When they made me a new one, they put sour cream on it. When i said i didnt want sour cream, they tried to scoop it off with a plastic ramekin. I ended up just saying nevermind and leaving. I wasnt a fan of being rushed through line anyway. Now im just frustrated and hungry. I dont usually waste my time at fast food places, but i thought the non GMO ingredients sounded like a good lunch choice on my break. I guess i will possibly try another location sometime? One star because they are gmo free.. One star because i do feel bad that i left. Im not saying not to come here, but i reccomend to be very specific and clear to the employees so they dont mess yours up like mine!

    (2)
  • Ni K.

    Crowded. Always during lunch. Keep that in mind. I would have given 4 stars if not for the lack of seating. Most of their tables sit four. Most of the time I go there is one person taking up a whole table. So you either wait, take your food to go or eat across from a stranger. This is probably the only thing I don't like about this place. Otherwise food is great, employees are nice and the place is clean. Oh.. Never ever eat the lemon wedges they have waiting near the soda fountain. You should know why...

  • Jordan P.

    (To the tune of The Chainsmokers' hit, Kanye) I was feeling hunger pangs Didn't seem to fade away Despite gum I was chewing Tried to get 'za from Bufad Service was just really bad What were they all doing? Took BSL to the Walnut Street Stop Looked around... Looked around.... Then I just knew, that the food I would chew would be foundddd.... I wanna eat CHIPOTLEEEEE It keeps me oh so fullll-yay! Barbocoa in my belllayyy All day... Chipoootttleee, yeah, yeah. That said, this Chipotle in particular, while delicious as per usual, has some issues with design. Namely, there's no real funnel for folks trying to wait in line for their food ordering process to begin. This results in a kind of splotchy "line jumble" that isn't really a line at all, mostly just a jumble. Not a problem in the middle of a late afternoon, but around lunch time.... trouble. Not a buncha seats. This WOULD be a problem... if not for the other Chipotle about 3 blocks away.

    Now, let's keep in mind I'm comparing the Chipotles here in Philly to my fair, fun and beloved state of California. Pros: -consistently great taste of the food. Steak or chicken, the meats are delicious. The veggies and dressings are fresh too. -the tables are clean and even though this place is always busy, you can always snag a table. -another thing, the packaging of the product is cute! Aesthetics are important too you know! A nice, decorated recycled brown bag for the food is cute :)

    There are Qdoba people, Chipotle people, El Fuego People and none of the above. I am more a Qdoba (sans tortilla, sans cheese, try to get the calorie count down). Meanwhile, Chipotle (which is now corporate fast food owned) is an inexpensive and FILLING (even the salad or bowl options are HUGE) lunch or quick dinner. Their meats (Chicken & Beef are the only ones i have tried) are spicier (more peppers??) than Qdoba. Also they use white meat - Qdoba uses thighs. It's OK by me. A-OK - in the true yelp 3 star way. This location is new and relatively clean (crowded at lunch time on weekdays - deserted at dinner.).

  • Reem C.

    The first time I had Chipotle was when I was in Chicago for a conference. I thought it was really good at the time. Somewhere along the line, I guess I saw Chipotle for what I think it truly is...Qdoba with a different name. I won't do the whole Chipotle v. Qdoba battle, but I find it interesting that this particular Chipotle is located a few feet away from Qdoba on Walnut Street. I ordered a chicken burrito the last time I ate here and it wasn't bad, but I truly do not see the difference in taste between a burrito from Chipotle and one from Qdoba. I'm convinced they're under the same ownership.

    Glad to see a Chipotle make its way outside of freaking University City and City Line Avenue. As a transplant from Maryland, an area that thrives off Chipotle, it's good to have one in the city I now live in. Cannot go wrong with almost any item here as they are all DELICIOUS. Especially the vegetarian burrito and chicken burrito. Their guac is phenomenal for a chain, so I definitely recommend that as well. All in all, I will be visiting this location more often when I'm on that side of Walnut Street.

  • Phil T.

    What's to love about Chipotle in Center City? - space - signage - ingredients - staff The space is beautiful. A row of tables bisects the restaurant vertically allowing for two paths: to and from the counter. There are also stools overlooking Walnut Street and a wood-paneled booth. It has high ceilings and gets plenty of light. For such a narrow space, it is efficiently arranged. The signage is simple and clear. You may choose from tacos, burritos and several different types of meats. The first sign states the local, organic, sustainable nature of the meats available: a huge selling point. The staff are knowledgeable, accommodating, yet still fast. I told them that I was allergic to lime, and they immediately confirmed with the manager which dishes had lime and what I my options were. There is lime in the rice, guacamole, corn, and all variants of beans. I went with the carnitas (pulled-pork) tacos on soft shells with lettuce and spicy salsa. The pulled pork was juicy and tasty, and the spicy salsa was flavorful yet not too hot. The soft taco shells were also moist. Overall, the space is beautiful and the food is tasty, quality, and cheap. Solid.

  • Mallory D.

    I'm not sure I get all the Chipotle hype. Especially this location. It is extremely narrow and near impossible to find seating at lunchtime. The staff seem to be almost robotic...don't dare ask a question about rice when they shout "chicken, beef or pork." It will completely throw off their groove, and you will be on the receiving end of a nasty little look. I speak from experience. The ingredients are fresh, I guess. But when they all mix up in your little bowl or burrito, they are indistinguishable from one another. Nothing special here my friends.

    I went to the Chipotle in Havertown, next to Panera at Township Line and WC Pike. The food here is awesome, but you already know this. Organic and local ingredients, who can argue with that? There is a good variety even for my kids, who are very picky about what they eat. The only reason I won't give five stars is because parking is pretty challenging with the Giant and all the other stores in the lot.

    I often find it difficult to find a quick meal in Center City that is somewhat healthy and fast, with great taste and quality products. Chipotle Mexican Grill in Rittenhouse Square comes to the rescue! The food is always piping hot and fresh. I have been to the location four times, and during each visit I found the line fully stocked with food that was fresh, hot and recently stirred. The store has many healthy options that fit into a 500-750 lunch diet. My recommendation is the Burrito Bowl with the Barbacoa. According to their website, the shredded beef Barbacoa is actually lower in fat than several of their other meat dishes. This location now served brown rice - which combines the cilantro flair of the white rice, with a light nutty flavor. Other lower fat and lower calories options include the tacos, the burrito and the salad. (The meals fit so well into my calorie plan that I can even get some full fat shredded cheese.) While this store gets very busy (up to 15 people in line during my peak lunch hour visit), the lines move super fast. The staff hardly has a second to think as they are so focused on getting you in and out the door to get you back to your office. Service is important to me -- and I have found the crew members here are always on their toes and extra efficient. The only downside to this newer Chipotle location is the lack of seating. During almost all of my visits the dining tables have been full. However, there is something to be said about being popular! My recommendation for healthy lunch: Barbacoa Bowl with Brown Rice, Pinto Beans, Extra Salsa For a treat (not on the diet plan), don't skip the tortilla chips! They by far are the best in Philadelphia with a hint of salt and lime. Better yet, get a bag to go!

I think they forgot to grill it. It was pretty expensive for chicken, cheese and a tortilla and fell apart as soon as I lifted it up. I'll definitely give this place another try because of the good things people say about it, but for my first visit, I was extremely disappointed.

    This is absolutely our go to spot for cheap eats. If you can't decide on which meat you want, they let you do half/half. I usually do half chicken and steak and they're both awesome. Just simple and good fast food.

    Here's what I like about the place. The vegetarian options. I eat here at least once a week. Every time I get the same thing: a vegetarian burrito or vegetarian bowl with white rice, black beans, fajita vegetables, and guacamole. It's somewhat Healthy. Sort of. For fast food that is. And it tastes pretty good too. The meat looks terrible to me, so I never go near it. In any event, i prefer it to the other Mexican place up the block.

    let me tell you... i absolutely loathe chain mexican food. BUT, this is actually some good stuff. fresh and simple ingredients, clean place, and not too expensive. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite quickie food stops in center city. oh and p.s. their guacamole is actually really good, dont be afraid if your an avocado snob like me :}

    I'm not a fan of Mexican food so I had never heard of Chipotle, but the guy I was on a date with said he wanted a burrito and it had to be Chipotle. So, we drove into center city (it took about 40 minutes) and found Chipotle. The guy behind the counter did a great job helping me decide what to put in my bowl. It was really good, I was pleasantly surprised. Another employee came by while cleaning up and asked how we were doing. she chatted for a few minutes - very nice. I highly recommend the stop

    AWFUL!!!!!! Came in today with my bf we just came from the Phillies game, 13$ for a burrito and drink (it's a fast food place) the food was terrible and my bf was vomiting shortly after. The cashier/girl with the tattoos on her arm was beyond pushy I said I wasnt hungry and was watching calories, she then went on to describe in detail what I should order. No thanks I'll stick to Qdoba if I want cheap (mexican) fast food or El fuego.

    As a former Maryland resident I was excited to see a Chipotle appear near my office, and the staff at this location is phenomenal. Service is always fast and friendly, and if you're a once-a-week-or-more regular with the web orders, as I am, quite quickly they recognize you and have your bag ready to hand over when you get to the counter. Qdoba is closer to my work, but I've not darkened their door since this Chipotle opened.

    ok once and a while. a little better than qdoba. their guac is really good.

    I went when it first opened and used my debit card to pay. Next thing I know, I got a BOGO coupon in the mail! I wonder if they just sent it to everyone or if they got my information from my card, however it happened, I'm not complaining because I'm going to go back to this very pretty space for a chicken burrito that has tortilla that doesn't stick to my teeth (as compared to Qdoba) and perfectly prepared rice (as compared to Qdoba's) for double the yum!

    #70 I feel obligated to start off this review with a quote from the boyfriend - "Everything in SoCal is better than in Philly." Now, you can hate me for putting that out there, but I stand by it, especially in terms of Mexican food. I'll admit that, yes, I was slightly giddy when I saw that Chipotle sign in the window and, yes, I sometimes had dreams of the guacamole and sour cream goodness that Chipotle has to offer. However, walking into this Chipotle made me slightly nervous. To quote a fellow patron - "This is like a runway!" The walk to the counter alone is enough to make you reconsider the treacherous amount of calories you're about to consume. The quality wasn't that different when compared to Qdoba's and the prices are comparable. However, as much as it pains me to say it, Qdoba's food might actually be a smidge fresher. The service wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't as attentive as it could have been. Plus, would it have hurt them to smile? The long faces really didn't make for an appetizing time. Overall, eating at Chipotle this past Thursday made me miss home that much more - 50 days and counting!

    I'm going to be real. This is my go-to fast food minus chick fil la- not open on Sundays so I can't be totally devoted to that. I come here 3-4x a week on average. I don't like cooking very much so this is the place I go to for lunch and dinner. I get the half chicken/half steak...I think this is the best way to maximize the amount of meat you get. You get charged for the steak but I think it's worth it. This is first on my top ranked fast food place. Close tie to chick fil la but like I said..chick fil la ain't open Sunday so I give it to Chipotle. The line goes by pretty quick which is also why I ranked it above popeyes because who doesn't like fried chicken? #amiright

    It is Chipotle. It is better than the place you go to. It is better than Qdoba (and always has been and always will be). There's nothing specific about this Chipotle that's different than the rest so in other words, you can rest assured that their recipe for success is still working. Occasionally it gets very busy. It does not however, occasionally get less tasty. In fact, it gets more, and MOARE tasty!! Also, if you don't like chipotle, you're probably just not ordering enough of it. You need to spend at least 20 bucks. Get guac on everything man, like seriously everything, even your soda. And you can't not get chips, unless you're like made out of freakin chips, in which case BRAVO sir. You basically HAVE to get chips and guac. Also, if you don't eat here at least once a day then you are probably some type of inhumane ungodly looking creature and we shouldn't be friends.

    It's a chain and it's tasty, what more do you want? This Chipotle has really mastered the art of fast, healthier food. If you walk into this Chipotle (I pronounce it chih-pot-tull) and you see a line reaching to the door, don't fret. You will be at the front in about 5-7 minutes. They have an assembly line working back there and they know how to move a crowd. I go for the veggie burrito bowl. With the veggie option, you get the guacamole (pronounced wack-a-mohl) for free. If you want it as a topping, it's going to cost you a couple bucks. It's pretty easy to keep vegan too which is the normal route I go. It's under 9 bucks and it doesn't leave you hungry mid afternoon. In the fast food world, I think Chipotull is winning and I'll continue to support them.

    Savory, delicious, great value, and fast (usually). This Chipotle has a convenient location in Center City if you live in the area, but I imagine it's a real pain to find parking. Delicious food, however the setup of space (can get very crowded) and noise level (usually on the louder range) make it not the ideal place to dine in. I usually just grab and go. Rundown: Burrito bowl to go with tortilla on side Mix brown and white rice Extra rice instead of beans 1/2 steak and 1/2 chicken 2 scoops pico 2 scoops corn Lettuce on top Cheese in a cup Outcome: Slide that 1lb bad boy into a bag, grab some napkins and 2 forks, I'm usually good for two meals. This meal was the single most item I craved when I was in Africa for 3 weeks. Either very sad...or just very awesome food...maybe a little of both.

    Nom Nom Nom What's there to say? If you've eaten at one Chipotle, you've eaten at them all. The food is consistently good, and I can't get enough. My husband, on the other hand, isn't a fan so I go for lunch when he's at work to get my Chipotle fix. I feel like I'm cheating on my husband with Chipotle, but do I care? No. I'm addicted, and I love their guac.

    Just like any other Chipotle (point of chains) so I won't go on and on. 1. They offer sofritas. For my fellow vegetarians or alternative eating friends, try them! They're very well sauteed! Apparently they have a ton of sodium (thanks Mayur C.) so if you're sensitive, check it the deets online. 2. During lunch time, this line is basically at the door and ridic intimidating. It goes go by VERY quickly though. Pros: goes by quickly. Cons: You better know wtf you want to order cause there is no time when you are up there to ponder between black bean or pinto.

    Chipotle is my go-to hangover food on a Saturday/Sunday morning. I will wait anxiously like a little kid on Christmas for it to be 11am so I can go get my burrito to start easing my whiskey-induced pain courtesy of the night before. Rarely do I eat at this location. It's not just because 1)I look like a hot mess when I roll in there or 2) because, let's face it, it is impossible to look attractive while burrito is falling every which way on your hands and face. Rather, the restaurant can be pretty crowded and it's difficult to find a seat depending on what time of day you go. I have never had bad service here so I am happy about that. Though, I can't help but get a tad peeved when they tell me that "guac is extra". Yes, I know, what does this look like amateur hour? Just heap on the goodness, I'm not concerned about the cost. My review is now just about as big as chipotle's burrito which, for those of you who don't know, are huge. I can't speak to the delayed effects of Chipotle (which some people can unfortunately experience) but I can personally attest to its ability to please my taste buds and stomach.

  • Lauren S.

    I love Chipotle I wish they had one closer to my place. This is probably the closet one but its downtown in a not so easy area to park so unless I wan to walk 25 minutes or a burrito I only hit it up once and a while. Line move fast they were extra generous on the gacu which is a super plus I hate when people are stingy, especially if you are paying extra for it. I tend to get the veggie burrito it comes with gacu but occasionally I get something else and usually add it.

    I feel a bit silly writing a review for a chain fast food restaurant, but everyone's doing it so why not! Most of you probably know how good the food is, so I won't go too much into that. However, just be aware that this location is THE prime Chipotle in the city. There is one on 12th/Walnut, but this one attracts basically everyone in the Rittenhouse/Financial District area so definitely expect it to be packed from 11:30am to 2:30pm any given weekday. Even on the weekends, it can get somewhat packed around these times. The line does however go faster than one may initially think. The service is pretty standard. You do get the stereotypical employees every now and then that are pretty stingy on the ingredients (which definitely doesn't work for a vegetarian like myself!). However, on the contrast, sometimes they hook you up with extra stuff, especially when they're closing up for the night or when they're closing early like on NYE. I wish there was more seating in here, but I guess I've mostly taken it to go and eaten at work so I guess I can't complain much. Last but certainly not least, FYI they just raised prices so a veggie entree is about $7.50 now :(.

    Well-run, efficient, tasty, dependable, quick. I order the burrito bowl every time, changing up the protein, and am never disappointed. Very consistent as far as quality and taste, and love that the beans no longer are cooked with bacon grease. Well done Chipotle! What more can you ask for?

  • Ari N.

    I hate this location. I eat enough Chipotle to know I'm getting skimped hard on the meat at this location. Whenever I have any requests, some tall blonde schmohawk has to come in and turn down my request. If it weren't that every other Chipotle provides the same exceptionally great service, setting the bar high, I would think I was being unreasonable. Instead I just cry on the inside and die a little while I bite into mostly tortilla. This place basically makes me a vegetarian but I'm probably slowly becoming anemic from iron deficiency. GIVE ME THAT MEAT BABY!! Extra stars given because the blonde guy wasn't here today and the rest of the team (sans meat provider) were efficient and polite and wrapped one fine "steak" burrito.

  • Thuy H.

    I love Chipotle! It's the best place for fast mexican food. However, this one isn't the best of them. Don't get me wrong, I come here often bc I love the food, but the lines are RIDICULOUS!!! And sometimes, I felt a if they were rushing so bad putting things together that it sometimes spills out of the bowl. And if you have never ordered from chiptole before, I feel as if they rush you. I felt so overwhelmed the first time I ever went here. It's a what do you want and they just scoop away. I felt like there was no time to look at the items they have. So, I then resorted to ordering online. It makes the whole experience so much better! You walk in, skip the lines and watch all the stares of people standing in line thinking in their heads like..wtf!! HAHAHA. I have waited a few times, but not as long as if I ordered there. My fav - Burrito bowl w/ brown rice, tomato salsa, hot salsa, corn salsa (yes, I know...it's tons of salsa, but sooo good), black beans, lettuce, cheese, and barbacoa. I skip the sour cream and guac (gotta watch my girlish figure...lol. JK) I really wish there was a chipotle near where I lived. I would probably go everyday. Hmm, maybe it's a good thing I don't live near one. I'd prob have a heart attack.

  • Wayne W.

    I enjoyed this chipotle as I do any other. This one did not particularly stick out in my mind as far as the food goes because they offered the same choices for food as the others. The place itself was very cramped and a little uncomfortable standing in line because the tables were right next to you so you almost felt like you were hovering over their food which I did not like feeling like that and I am more then sure they did not appreciate it as well. The line was long when I got here but, they were on the faster side of some chiopotles they were really churning and burning to get the line moving which is always a plus. The staff was friendly and efficient because not only were they going very quick they were getting everyone's orders right. Which I think is actually the most important part. Parking was nearly impossible I did not bring a car as I ran here from school but, it did not look like there was anything but street parking and that was so few and far between that if you have to drive here you might want to choose another chipotle. They are also doing roadwork in that area around this time so that also cuts out a lot of parking and really backs up traffic.

    Fast food with a more upscale feel. Food quality is always very good and the portions are big. The choices for what type of food is more limited so if you're looking for a large variety, I would say look somewhere else. It really depends on what mood you're in, if I'm looking for more variety, I almost always go to Qdoba; however if I'm looking for a solid burrito and that's it, Chipotle all the way!

    What can I say about Mexican fast food? Well, I think the fact that I gave it four stars to begin with says a lot. I mean, 4 stars for a place where you order your burrito over a pane of glass? And it's a chain with locations in all major metropolitan areas? Is that blasphemy? If it is, I don't care. These cats do a fine job of making burritos and bowls and salads and tacos, and I want everyone to know it. The thing that drove me to finally head to yelp and review them was the other day I decided to order pinto beans instead of black beans for the first time, in I don't know, ever? I knew for a fact, from a vegan friend, that the pinto beans have bacon in them. But the burrito chef let me know as I was ordering, so I would not get something I didn't want! My friend had been up in arms saying that they didn't tell you about the bacon and Chipotle be damned. But, I guess they've changed they're wily ways and they're now on the straight and narrow. The backbone of the 4 star review is that, for the most part, every meal I've gotten from this establishment has been tasty, made from quality ingredients and well put together. I don't think I've been disappointed more than once, and that was from some steak that was more on the rare side. They just gave me the option of getting my money back or getting a new bowl. I chose chicken and I was a-ok. Might be good to ask how new the steak is, since they seem to take it off the grill while it's still rare and let it cook while it waits to become a part of your lunch.

  • Christian H.

    So I'm a fan of the fast food burrito-kill me. I let my friend in on my little secret, and now we're both crazy fans of the fast food burrito. First of all, it's really hard to find a seat here during the lunch rush and the dinner rush. That's just the way things are. Second of all, you'll defiantly have indigestion and mad diarrhea if you try eating this before you wait 5 hours from when you ate before. The burritos are huge and cheap (it's fast food) and you can build them yourself. I recommend pinto beans and white rice.

  • Daryl F.

    Upon the urging of daughter, we went to Chipotle this evening. While I love their burritos, this was the first time that I had the displeasure of eating a steak burrito that I did not like. Five pieces of steak were mostly fat. I understand that the fat gives the steak most flavor, but I'm sure that my burrito would have tasted better if the pieces of steak had been leaner. I still like Chipotle, but I'll probably consider having something other than a steak burrito.

  • Pranav K.

    I went here about 15 minutes before closing. Instead of telling me that they had run out of most things the guy started making my order. He put literally 5 pieces of chicken on my order, no beans, no vegetables and when I asked him what was going on one of the other women comes in and claims this is the usual portion size of chicken. When I complained and told her I'd been here enough times to know that was not the case the guy making my order agreed to add in sofritas. If I hadn't complained all I was going to get was rice and 5 pieces of chicken. I am disappointed that there was no apology, they charged me full price for a sub standard product. Another guy came in after me and made the right choice by going to qdoba. I'm going to do that in the future and you should too.

    Chipotle is a staple in my diet. I hit the Cherry Hill location literally 4 times a week. I'm just trying to spread the Chipotle stoke. I'm re-copying some of my Chipotle "lessons learned" from my Cherry Hill review here. 1. Don't fear the salad --It's essentially a bowl with some lettuce on the bottom. I throw a little white rice on. 2. Skip the dressing --It's unnecessary (and it's made from crappy oils) -- just get all three salsas and you are golden. 3. Barbacoa is really dependable --It's also the only meat on the menu that is not cooked with soybean oil (soybean oil = not desirable). I get the steak when it looks fresh off the grill. 4. Guac rules 5. Get shredded lettuce on top of the guac -- keeps it from sticking to the lid. 6. Skip the soda, pimp the lemons --I ask for a cup for water -- squeeze three lemons in and fill with water. Lemon aid, for free. Honestly, the Cherry Hill location gives this one a run for its money. This location doesn't quite hold up in terms of service and quality. But, by all means, it's still an extremely solid Paleo / gluten free option for under 10 bucks. Rip it.

    I am not sure whether it is Chipotle in general or just this particular location, but WOW this place has gone downhill fast. Their ingredients used to be great quality, but now it's all nasty. I ordered a salad and got more leaves of cilantro than actual lettuce. Or at least I think I did. I couldn't actually tell if there was lettuce in the bowl under the 65 pounds of salsa they slopped on. What a hot mess of a place. Also, there is literally nothing left that isn't encrusted in cilantro. It's been real, but see ya never, Chipotle.

  • Rita C.

    Oh Chipotle, I think our love affair is coming to an end. I've noticed in the past few months that you are serving considerably less food in your bowls than in the past and this makes me extremely sad considering I'm paying about the same cost. Let's be honest for a second here, I cheated on you and went to Qdoba the other day. I got my regular - the bowl (er, "naked burrito") - with the same toppings and add-ons for $3 less that was overflowing with deliciousness. This is so hard for me, but I'm sorry - it's over. I'll miss you and your snazzy music selection

  • Tyler R.

    My coworkers adore Chipotle. At least three of them get a burrito at least once a week if not three times. There's good reason for this. First, Chipotle has the cleanest look and feel of any Mexican fast food joint around. It's classy, modern, and the offerings are very similar. Second, the food, as you will read on their menu, is locally sourced and organic (at times). Third, the food looks and tastes fresh-- easily the biggest positive. Finally, the proportions are filling. The reason for four stars is less about the fact it's a fast food joint that doesn't have a second to slow down. You enter the assembly line, you order your food, and the cashier is more interested in getting to the next person than serving your needs. That's expected. It's about the fact that regardless of the clean, modern feel it's $7 for a burrito that is mostly rice. Sure, it's the size of a small child, but it doesn't justify the ratio of rice to meat/veggies. It's true. I'm a fan of Chipotle. I'll go back, but I wish they'd double up the veggies for me and limit the rice.

    My partner and I come here often for lunch when shopping on Walnut St. The vegan options are limited, but good. I usually get a black bean burrito, however, once I ordered the pinto beans and did not know they were cooked in lard! I tasted it immediately and the manager was kind enough to replace it and give us coupons for a future visit. I will definitely continue coming here!

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
