THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:
1. This chipotle sucks!
2. Sadly I am forced to come here since the distance to my school is literally blocks away so when I am in a rush I grab a burrito.
3. They have a sign up saying they are currently using "locally grown" meat or something of that nature! So much for the whole "organic grass fed chipotle thing"
4.DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BAG ALONE FOR TWO SECONDS!! While I was eating this guys bag got stolen! Sadly I didn't know it was the guys bag and watched someone walk out with his bag(I didn't know who was the owner, until this man came out of the bathroom pale asking if anyone saw his bag!!!) supposedly not the first time this happened.
5.No security cameras next to eating area.
6. Very small Chipotle literally sitting on the person next to you.
7. Staff is "okay"
Love Chipotle. I venture out of my way all the time to eat here. It's super modern looking on the inside, and while I'm not a total fan of the seating arrangement, I love the food. Their hot sauce bar is unparalled to any other mexican restaurant in New York (which isn't saying much as Tex-Mex is the only under-represented dining option in New York). The people behind the counter are hit and miss. Some days (assuming high-strung, demanding people haven't been filtering in all day) the staff is fun, energetic and willing to go the distance to make your order right. Other days, it seems like it's a race to see how fast they can get you out of the door (sometimes at the expense of your order). No matter though, this is still my Chipotle.
Chiptole is delicious, but it really depends on who is preparing your food because there's this spanish woman here that really skimps on EVERYTHING. Like.. does it get taken out of your paycheck or something?
Otherwise, the other people working here are great and don't skimp.
It's almost always busy because it's right by hunter college, but the line goes by fast.
I'm not sure why this Chipotle has such low ratings, but then again, I always take my food to go. Chipotle has become my go-to spot to pick up dinner before my evening block of classes. I usually get the burrito bowl with chicken and lots of condiments. It hits the spot every time. It's usually packed, but the line moves fast. I have no complaints.
This was really bad. Service was fine and the space was fine, but my burrito was inedible. It's not that they didn't use fresh ingredients or even that they skimped on the portions. In fact, it looked great.
However, my burrito had pockets of salt in it that were not evenly mixed into the rest of the contents so that some bites really were cringeworthy. They need to mix their ingredients better!
There is plenty of seating.
Decent spot. They didn't have any other option than white rice. Not that I care since I always take white rice, but someone else might have been pissed. I noticed people walking in from the street and just filling up their cups in hand since the fountain is so close to the door. I always grab Chipotle when i see it around, its always a safe bet.
I used to work a few blocks away and used to frequent this location. There always seems to be a line at all hours of the day given its location, but the staff is fast and efficient. Lines are usually to the door, but it moves fast and I typically get my order 5 min after coming in.
Efficient staff. They never gave me issues of getting extra's of some toppings, as I have experienced in other locations.
Pro tip: order online for pickup. Skip the lines and go directly for pickup at the register. My office is 4 blocks from their store, I almost always just place the order and walk straight there, my order is always ready by the time I there.
I'll always be a fan of chipotle, but service at this particular location is definitely the better of the ones I've been to.
PS: sbux is right across the street incase you want to pair your bowl with a refreshing frap during hot summer days
Came on a Sunday afternoon. Seating by the door got a little cold. All the perched seating was taken so I sat at the only available seat at a lower seating space available facing the window. I like the wooden wall with glowing light behind it. I don't like that most if not all these Chipotle restaurants now need a code to enter the restroom.
The young lady taking my order had a smile and was very pleasant, got my order right and as diners were finishing eating the tables were wiped. Tables and soda fountain/condiment area were clean.
I always notice people ordering bowls and I always order the burrito, so I ordered a bowl. I can now say my first Chipotle bowl experience was had at this location. I'm not scared of carbs, so I think I'll stick with the burrito because it feels like it fills up my stomach more. What does everyone else think? You get more in the bowl or the burrito? Anyway, pretty average experience except the bin of Barbacoa was running low so I ordered something I knew I shouldn't have because I knew the quality wasn't going to be good: cubes of steak, instead of my normal Barbacoa/Carnitas. The Sofritas was piled high, guess Chipotle customers don't really come for tofu? The bins of steak didn't look too appetizing, a bit dry. Same taste in the order, the cubed steak is not very flavorful and a bit dry. I'm not expecting filet mignon but for the price, yeah, works for me with all those add ins like salsa, guacamole, sour cream and corn mixed in, etc…
Even though Chipotle has slumped a bit I'm still a fan ever since my first experience in 2004. And this location is Andrew approved.
