  The food was great for me and my husband. Our picky 12 year old was not impressed, but then that's him.  It was rather more expensive by about $5 than we expected.  For three burritos and thee drinks we were surprised to pay $25ish.

  My advice - two words - barbacoa and carnitas. That's where the magic happens. Chicken and steak are fine, but the magic happens with the slow cooked meats. Barbacoa is a spiced slow cooked shredded beef, Carnitas is a spiced slow cooked shredded pork.
  
  I used to get burritos. Burritos are messy, so I switched to bowls. I do love the juice running down my arms and the lingering smell of the delicious meats on my hands, but I have to go back to work.
  
  Get a bowl. Load it up with as many  tasty toppings as you can see, and enjoy.  My usual choice is brown rice, black beans, carnitas, tomato salsa, corn salsa, sour cream, cheese, lettuce.
  
  I'm here regularly for lunch. It's always busy, but they move you through quickly enough.

  Service has gotten a lot better since this location has opened.  I now can go in confidently without wondering if I'm going to get frustrated with the staff or not.  Great food and everyone seems on top of things now!

  This must be the worst Chipotle ever. I travel often for work and will frequently choose this chain so that I can get a healthy vegetarian meal. This restaurant was confused and in disarray. No soap in the bathrooms. No vegetables for the salad. The serving line kept getting the orders confused between customers. The tea dispenser was empty. To top everything off, the staff was heavily pierced with stringy hair hanging in many of their faces. I will never stop at this restaurant again when I am in Columbus.

  The food was okay. The menu was very simple. It was just okay.

  I normally like their Burrito Bowl, but I would agree with the review that mentioned temperature. When I got home, mine was room temperature at best. I did get mine to go, but the car was warm and I wasn't going far. I did notice that when they changed out a tray in the steam table the water wasn't steaming. It was dinner time on a Tuesday and business was light. Maybe their procedures/temperatures are geared for higher volume. I think it is a bad location, lack of a direct entrance to US 31 and a small, Byzantine parking lot. Donatos did make it there either. There may be just bad temperature Karma in the building. Donatos always burned their pizza, and when we would complain, their response was but the ovens are set at the proper temperature, "but the pizza is burned!!!" May it is time for a little "Feng Shui".

  Looks like a new restaurant.  Clean.  Price is great for amount of food served.  I had the burrito bowl with chicken, brown rice and pinto beans.  The beans were hard and the chicken, rice and beans were cold.  I advised staff of my concern and was told that the food was old because of the toppings.  Also, that a log was kept.  Another table of four also complained (not to staff) that food was cold.  I doubt that the holding temperature of the beans, rice and chicken even reached 120 degrees.  Other than being told about the sauces and temperature log no attempt was made to right the wrong.  Will probably not return.

  Just opened in Columbus, and VERY popular. Went there today for lunch...no parking spots, line to the door, very few open seats. Still, I was through the line with food in hand in no time, which was a welcome event.
  
  Food was good, burrito was huge. Typical Chipotle. For those who have never been, Chipotle builds burritos, tacos, or salads ingredient by ingredient per your request...kinda like Subway. Burritos are MASSIVE, a meal in themselves. You can also get chips and salsa as a side. All for under $10. They have applied for a liquor license so expect them to be serving beer soon.
  
  Ambiance/decor was kinda strange. Very minimalistic. Cement floors, large open seating area with tables, plain white food bar, exposed ceiling, and a wood soda drink island with built-in speakers that looked like something out of a college frat house. They also have outdoor seating.
  
  Overall, good food, fast service, right price. Glad to have a burrito place back in Columbus!
