I’ve visited this location many times and generally had positive experiences, so I hesitate to judge the entire staff based on one interaction. However, my recent visit left me disappointed with the attitude I encountered.
My friend and I ordered similar dishes with a small variation, and I politely asked if the staff member could mark one of the boxes with a “B” using his finger—just a quick way to help us differentiate. Instead of accommodating the simple request, his response was dismissive: “When you open it, you’ll see tomato on top,” or “Take two different bags.” It would have taken just a moment to assist and perhaps even thank us for choosing their restaurant for dinner.
While I didn’t walk away from the order, the interaction didn’t reflect the level of customer service I’ve come to expect. That said, I’ve never had a similar issue here before, so I’m willing to give them another chance. I hope this was an isolated incident and not indicative of a broader shift in service culture.
The restaurant dining area was quite dirty. Every table had crumbs and food scraps all over it. It’s a Chipotle, so that’s to be expected, but it would be a nice luxury to walk up to a clean table every once in a while in a Chipotle.
The food service area was filthy and the food was overcooked and burnt. We should have left but we were so hungry. We got something simple. When I asked for a manager I was told I am by a gentleman doing the takeout. He was so rude and nasty.
I should have looked at the reviews for this place first because I would have never gone in. I called the corporate office and I called the board of health. This place needs to be either cleaned up or shut down.
The Food:
Safety Concerns: The steak in my burrito wasn’t just room temperature; it was actually cold, as if it had been sitting in a fridge or chilled container. My 5-year-old daughter is also now complaining of a stomachache after eating her meal.
Flavor/Quality: The white and brown rice had zero cilantro. The rice, chips, and guac were completely unsalted (ironic, since a friend told me their food was inedible because of over-salting last week).
Inconsistency: They gave us three sides with the kids’ quesadillas instead of the standard two. This wouldn’t be an issue by itself, but it further highlights a lack of basic training.
The Facility & Service:
Cleanliness: Only three tables were occupied when we arrived, yet every other table was covered in rice and debris. I had to clean our own table just so we could sit down.
Beverages/Supplies: Both Coke dispensers were broken. The lemonade was dispensing water, so we went to the craft lemonade dispener, which was also empty. When we asked for the kids’ juice that comes with the meal, they gave us soda cups instead; we had to specifically ask for the boxed juice. There were also no forks available when we arrived and until we asked for them. Again, small issues add up to a poor experience.
Technical Issues: The cashier was unable to perform the basic task of scanning the Chipotle app on my phone. Eventually he got it to work, but this seems like a pretty basic task in today’s fast food world.
The employees seem to be trying, but they are clearly not being set up for success by management. I will never eat at this specific location again, regardless of how convenient it is. If you want a standard Chipotle experience, go to any other location but this one.
Ordered carnitas tacos, got a meat puddle. Will never be back. Disgusting.
