I have never, ever had a bad meal at Chipotle. They just don't exist. So I'm going to bypass the fresh, delicious, addictive food and focus more on the ambiance. This place is LOUD. Really, really loud. There's no point in trying to have a conversation with anybody here. Sitting outside is nice, but you're right on State Street, so that can get noisy and smelly sometimes. During the school year the place is always crowded, but the employees seem to remain calm. Â
I'm stoked that they have tasty brown rice now--it's just as delicious as the white rice but healthier. Also, how do people NOT know that guac is $1.80 extra?? I'm continually surprised by how many people say they don't want it after hearing the extra charge. I would pay anything for that guac, though...
Not sure if Alex is still the owner, but he is amazing. They were able to help make a 150+ burrito night happen with easy. They also were able to cater to our needs in case we needed more and offered to do 50-100 more burritos on standby.
You don't think that they'd be down for catering, but they've got it covered.
As for the food and service, it's excellent and fast. Easily better than any other Chipotle I've been to.
Best to-go place near campus...! Have an exam and want to eat something fast, healthy and thrifty...? Well, there's nowhere better than Chipotle.
Even though I myself prefer a burrito-bowl, the wrapped burritos are perfectly stuffed, so you won't lose any beans on your way back to the library! They don't mind throwing in some extra rice if you ask politely. The chips'n'salsa won't last long if you have friends for company, so beware!
The service is super quick but in spite of that, the queue sometimes starts on the curb-side.
Out of all the big burrito joints in the area, I would have to say Chipotle is my favorite and most consistently visited. I usually stick with the chicken burrito with my choices of ingredients, sometimes guacamole, but like most places, it's around $1.50 to add extra. I never get a drink; I stick with the free water cups. If you're only getting a burrito (sans guacamole), it's very reasonably price. You are guaranteed to not leave the restaurant hungry, more so, uncomfortably full. Chipotle serves beer, although I've never ordered one from there. They also have really nice outside seating that include tables with umbrellas so the sun doesn't beat down on you while you're eating. State St is a little noisy when eating outside, but that's something you have to deal with. Chipotle is conveniently placed for many apartment complexes in the area.
Review Source:What can I say? It's a chain, so the food and overall experience are the same no matter where you go.
Considering how quickly you get your meal, the food is very tasty and allows for "healthier" options if you want them (e.g.,less fat by skipping cheese, sour cream and guacamole).
The one downside of the meat is that it is too salty sometimes.
Even though I am not a fan of Mexican food I really liked this place. I was astonished by the speed of one of the cookers. My favorite burrito was the beef and black beans one. Actually I think the price keeps coherence with the amount of food you get. As Mark H just stated I also think you can have them split your burrito and have it for two different meals. Totally Agree!
Review Source:This is an amazing restaurant chain known for making ethical business decisions and having cutting edge responsible practices within the industry. I like that they care about so many aspects of how they do business and how their decisions might impact the world and make it a better place. The food is fresh and one can get a good amount of veggies, something often challenging with fast food. It is the vegetarian burrito that has won my heart here. They do what they do- simple, quick and with quality standards then keep it all so very affordable, it's amazing! It would be wonderful if they ever decided to offer brown rice and multigrain tortillas as an option, but then it would just not be so simple anymore.
Review Source:Chipotle is a pretty nice burrito chain, and I've had mostly good experiences. Â The menu is really basic- burrito, tacos, or salad, with chicken, beef, pork, or steak, with rice, beans, cheese, sour cream and your choice of salsas and guacamole.
It all adds up to be delicious, no matter what you choose. Â I think the guacamole here is particularly good, but you have to pay $1.50 extra or so on most of the burritos. Â I've taken to getting the Veggie burrito, because you can get the guac along with some peppers and onions with the above things for about $6 or so. Â Very filling. Â Often makes up two meals, and I'm not exactly svelte.
great food with a knowledgeable and kind staff. Â they have really great tacos (if you aren't a person that likes spicy food though, i suggest that you pick another restaurant). Â food was not super spicy, but mildly spicy. Â fun environment, and it looks like it would be good for a casual outing with a group.
Review Source:Chipotle is the God of Burritos.
Chipotle, in my opinion serves the best chain-restaurant burritos EVER. Now that I live 45 mins away from my nearest Chipotle, I travel that far just to get one.
As far as the Chipotle in West Lafayette goes, it's always busy. Great place to grab food and the line moves quickly. Seating can be limited sometimes due to the amount of people in there, but you can always take it to one of the lawns around school and eat outside (Weather permitting of course).
My favorite thing is the Chicken burrito. Their guacomole is made fresh daily. Only downside to guac is that it's about $1.50 extra on burritos. I feel as though I've outplayed the system and just get the veggie burrito a lot of times (includes guac for free) and with all the beans in there it tastes just like you're eating meat.
If you go on a Sunday night be prepared to wait a little longer. Dining halls aren't open for Purdue students on that night and the line at Chipotle can get long.
If you happen to go on Halloween, wear tinfoil on your body (that's what they wrap their burritos in) and you'll get a free burrito!!! Some people are creative and make hats or actual outfits out of tinfoil.
