We all know how Chipotle is! This was my first time at this location (there's several of them around my work place…yay lucky me). Don't get scared by seeing the line as you enter, specially during lunch time, it moves quick!! Let me just break it down:
Fresh food, busy location and super fast service!
My friend has eaten here about thirty times in the past forty days, sometimes twice in the same day, and he's really proud about it. A tourist, distrustful of strangers, disdainful toward new experiences, looking for "safe, standardized, comfortable, and consistent." So perhaps we don't see eye to eye on everything, and we aren't the best of friends, but I gave this location of Chipotle a few tries, just to see what his fixation was all about. As far as I'm concerned, I just don't get it. There's not a whole lot of flavor. The beef tastes the same as the pork which also tastes the same as the chicken, except they're all different colors with slightly different textures and/or temperatures and/or fat contents. None of the toppings are remarkable, and for the price, I know of many better choices.
Does one really need a review for Chipotle? The food is consistent across the board, anywhere you go. The staff is friendly here, and the space is clean. We came after the TD Five Boro Bike Tour so we had a special deal going. No complaints about this spot, really. The loss of stars is just because we don't think that food is that great, at any location.
I frequent this place for lunch since I work in FiDi…. it's a consistently great chipotle location. The line can be long, but the staff works hard to keep the line moving quickly. The food is always good and the staff stuffs my bowl every time making it a great bang for my buck.
I noticed the staff has changed since my last review. I used to go at least 3 times a week. While that's understandable given the general high turnover in the food industry, I became alarmingly surprised at the level of cleanliness that one particular staff member lacked during my last visit last week.
I saw the man who cooked the rice sunk his gloved hands into the bowl of rice while he was "attempting" to mix it. Hello, there's a reason why a spatula and a spoon exist. No body wants to eat white rice mixed in with some latex gloved flavoring.
I visited this location on numerous occasions over the years and NEVER ONCE have I seen the cook put his gloved hands into the rice. This Chiptole needs to really really train their employees on how to handle good properly. Chiptole already has an operational and reputation issues, it's thoughtless and careless employees that will bring the company down.
Otherwise, as I stated before, this is still a solid place to grab a quick bite (when that cook is not around). If I see him, I'm out the door to go across the street.
Quick and fast line! Don't be discouraged if the line looks long, it will move quickly. Do know what you want to order when you get to the counter. The food is consistent and has good variety of meat options. Guacamole is fresh. Clean facility and the staff was pleasant.
If you're from out of town, adjust your expectations because Chipotle in New York is both more expensive and smaller in portions than any Chipotle I've been to back home in Boston. A chicken bowl without any extra toppings is the cheapest option for $9. That being said, the flavors were consistent and satisfied my midday Chipotle craving. The line is super long, but the workers here are efficient and will move you through the line in no time.
I shouldn't eat this" I say as I shove it into my mouth".
i live in a huge city where there's chipotles in every corner! everybody i knows find chipotles to be yummy ….i think its because chipotle is known for everything is fresh…
Because the food is somewhat fresh…and for the most part…There's some variety… it's fast….it's easy…it's portable..It's just all around convenient but doesn't make you feel deathly ill the rest of the day…. like eating at tocobell or other fast food places make you feel….
I got the shredded beef bowl and chicken burrito…I really like how I can build my own burrito and bowl…chose whatever you like and however you like… There's no stupit sauce packets..bottles of sauces by the napkins…unlimited refills!
