Worst Chipotle I've been to in the city. I live close and have been here multiple times. This is how the convo goes every single time:
Me: Bowl to go
Worker: to stay or to go?
Me: to go
Worker: white or brown rice?
Me: No rice but both beans
Worker: black or pinto beans?
Me: both (annoyed at this point)
Worker: what kind of meat?
Me: no meat
Worker: no meat?
Me: Nope (keep getting annoyed)
Worker: Salsa?
Me: little bit of hot
Worker: (puts a whole scoop of hot salsa)
Me: I said A LITTLE
Worker: (stares at me)
Me: Sour cream
Worker: (puts a little bit of sour cream)
Me: can I have a little more sour cream?
Worker: (looks at me angrily)
THEY DON"T LISTEN. Most recently when I went in they were out of sour cream. Another time they were out of regular bags of chips and refused to give me 2 kids size chips because "what if someone wants a kids meal?" (there were multiple bags of kids chips on the shelf). Very few of the staff are polite, most act indignant. I go to the one on 31st and Park now.
I love Chipotle, and I have visited many of them in at least five states. This is the worst among them. would recommend the manager visit their colleage at 9761 Vista Way
Garfield Heights, OH to see how Chipotle shold be.
The taste is at its standard, no doubt about it. However, I was not happy about the size. The bowl to go I order contain only half (exactly half) of what I got from other Chipotles. For one moment, I thought my friend who picked the order for me eat my lunch. Half of the bowl paper was clean without food contact. Maybe they focused too much on profit.
Over all, I only need buy lunch here once.
This Chipotle location was alright & did its job for me. I liked how spacious its interior was: there are eight tables: three high ones, two low ones, and three against the walls (all of them long).
I normally get the chicken bowl with lettuce + tomatoes, rice, corn, and guacamole. The guac here was a dull jade green color, and I didn't like that there were chunks of avocado in my bowl that were tasteless. Other Chipotle locations have guac that's fresh and a brighter green color.
What's not to love about Chipotle?! Their food is amazing and fresh and never disappoints!
Outdoor patio – love it!
Chicken bowl turned out to be way too spicy when asked for low spice — not good
Portion much smaller than other Chipotle location — not good at all.
A decent Chipotle, one of the better ones I've been to in NY but nothing extraordinary. Outdoor seating is great, there's always usually a line but that staff keep it moving.
They lose a star because they always short change me on the guac! Come on, if I'm paying $2 extra for it, you better give me a hefty sampling of that green gooey goodness!
Also, burrito bowls all the way!
I got a coupon for a free burrito, so I figured I'd give Chipotle a chance. I hadn't been since they sort of stormed New York a bunch of years ago. But who knows, things change, maybe the masses were on to something.
And I guess the biggest take away is that it was so bland. Like I couldn't believe how flavorless everything was. The tortilla, the rice, the beans, the meat… Even the salsas were flavorless. The hot one had heat, but no taste. It was strange and troubling.
One of the reasons I like Mexican food is because of the complex, amazing flavors. It should be an explosion of delicious in your mouth. But Chipotle kind of takes that thought and says, nope. We will give America the bland food that we will tell them they want. And for like ten bucks.
On the plus side, the restaurant was clean, the staff pleasant and during nice weather, it's probably enjoyable to sit outside.
But I'd go elsewhere for food.
I think that this is one of the better Chipotles in Manhattan and that it's a great lunch option if you're working at NYULMC 🙂 The tables are really clean, there is always ample seating even during busy lunch hours, and the servers are really nice as well! Also, I like how there are huge windows so you get to see the hustle and bustle of Midtown Manhattan (one of my favorite neighborhoods!).
I always opt to get the burrito bowl instead of the burrito since it's less messy and I prefer fork food. I like getting brown rice (healthier), steak (I've also tried chicken/carnitas but steak always wins), salsa, cheese, and guac. Yum!! It's about $8-10 for one burrito bowl which I wouldn't consider cheap but it tastes so good so I guess it's ok to splurge once in a while 🙂 I would definitely recommend!
PS. This store is located in a food center (incorrect term??) so there's also seating outside as well! I've eaten outside before on a beautiful summer day and loved being surrounded by city life!
