It takes more than great tasting food to make a terrific meal. It takes an awesome location and eating with fun, interesting people. Unfortunately we can’t make your friends any more interesting or fun. What we can do is carefully design each of our restaurants to create a unique dining experience fundamentally different than you would get with traditional fast food. Each ingredient is laid out in front of you so you can choose the perfect combination to make your perfect meal. You can watch the process as your burrito, bowl, tacos, or salad is prepared exactly the way you want it and handed to you almost instantly.
The sounds, the smells, and the sights of cooking can really help you work up an appetite. Unfortunately in a lot of restaurants the “cooking” they do is more like putting together a science experiment. To that end, each Chipotle is designed with a kitchen that’s open to the entire restaurant.
