Though I never had a desire to eat at Chipotle, I'm now addicted! On my first visit, I tried the Keto Salad Bowl and chips with guacamole. The PORTIONS were perfect for me. I felt completely satisfied with the amount of food. The QUALITY was so much more than I expected. I was expecting piles of lettuce with little else. I was pleasantly surprised at how wrong I was. The protein was outstanding. And plentiful. Aside from the deeply savory taste, there was a kick of heat, that took this meal from a 9 out of 10, to a 10 out of ten. The STAFF were all friendly, the order was ready for pickup, right on time. One of the most important facets of my visit, was the CLEAN environment. The staff used gloves, and I feel totally comfortable, ordering from Chipotle. In fact, I went back, two nights in a row. I tried the High Protein bowl on visit #2 and the plant-based bowl on the third night. I HIGHLY recommend Chipotle, and more specifically, the DeKalb Chipotle! read more

Closed a whole hr early. On the door and maps it says OPEN TILL 11. NOT 10PM over there putting food away. And cleaning up the kitchen . Get outta here read more

It's 01/11/25 and while eating my bowl of chicken, beans and rice, there was a finger nail in my food. This is DISGUSTING!!! I threw up for about 20 minutes. read more

Guy gave us an absolutely embarrassing portion of meat. They need to start weighing it out or something because they give less meat to avoid having to cook more. Terrible customer service and even worse portions! Gets worse almost every time I go to this location! You're better off going in your pocket and ripping a 20 dollar bill in half! read more

Overall the dish was not too bad, but steak was very chewy and food was very cold. Not sure ifnit was suppose to be like that. Got some attitude when I request extra lettuce, since he gave me some petty leaf sprinkles at first. Ambiance is nice, and theyre lightning fast. read more

This is usually my go to location when I want Chipotle, however, the past three times I've come to this location it has been horrible. First issue was they were out of chicken and told us it would be 5 minutes, okay... that's fine! I didn't mind waiting at all, I understand they run out of things sometimes! But, we were waiting for much longer and just had to leave. Second instance was the same day when two of my friends mobile ordered and when we got back and opened the bag it was a completely different order. Also okay, I understand sometimes things get mixed up, but when we went back they remade it and still made it wrong. Last instance was today. I went with my friend and when we walked in the tables holding all the ingredients were pushed back so the worker could sweep and mop behind and under them. I didn't mind at first because I assumed it would be quick, I mean every worker saw us come in, no. We waited for 15 minutes and the tables were still pushed back. Not only that, but the workers didn't even greet us or acknowledge us at all other than looking at us like we were wrong for walking in at 9:17. It is honestly ridiculous at this point. Another customer also came in after us and left because it was taking so long. I get wanting to do your closing tasks before officially closing the store, but not when customers are waiting to order from somewhere that is supposed to be fast-food. read more

They're stingy with the portions. I didn't even get a full scoop of chicken, I could see the bottom of the spoon after he scooped the chicken up. I usually have a good experience here, I think it's the employees working today I've never seen any of them before. read more

This chipotle is typically a good one to go to, but recently, the past couple of times I have went later at night, they are always out of something that is enough to deter you from wanting to purchase a meal (I.e. cheese, chips, protein) This is frustrating as a former chipotle employee because the chipotle I worked at would have never ran out of chips or cheese towards the end of the night, and especially not protein. This seems to be a common occurrence though at Chipotle's everywhere now. If your hours are until 11, I would expect you to have everything when I come in 30-40 mins until close. Just kind of disappointed to be honest. read more

I always prefer to go to the one in sycamore! This chipotle on Lincoln Hwy is always cheep on everything even the shit they don't charge for. So here I go risking wasting my money on this place and I get crumbs to eat with my bowl. read more

this is the worst Chipotle in DeKalb. the food is always nasty, rice undercooked, queso is gummy, I never have had a good experience with the food here. I'm not sure what the issue is but please do something to get this in order. it's ridiculous at this point read more

Rice was hard and over cooked , meat is too chewy taste UNDONE , my chips were not THIS MORNING fresh , they taste like they were made some days ago . It just was not good . Staff was nice tho . read more

And now they are out of chicken.... Awesome sauce!! read more

This chipotle is one of the best chipotles I have ever visited. First of all, the employees here are the best part of this place. I come here more than I care to admit, and they all know my order and always talk to me when I come in. They are some of the kindest and coolest people, and one time I forgot my wallet and the guy at the register legitimately just took his wallet out and paid for mine. I don't get anything crazy, just steak tacos with a little cheese and a side of guac, but they always charge it as a three pointer (meat is two points, cheese is one) with a side of guacamole. It's much cheaper, so I appreciate that they do that. Many chipotles will charge you for steak tacos, even though it is a three pointer. This place gets kind of crazy at lunch time, but I don't usually wait more than 5 minutes in line. The steal quality here is ALWAYS good. Many chipotles will over cook their steak or it's super dry and gross. I have never received bad tacos here, and I am not kidding when I say I come here all of the time. I drive out if my way to come her over the other chipotle in town due to the food quality differences. read more

Worst Chipotle I have ever been to! The staff is slow, and don't seem to know what they are doing most of the time. The manager is rude and sassy. The tables are always dirty from food that has been sitting there for probably hours, and the trash cans are always overflowing as well. The line is always ridiculously long because of how slow the staff is. The last time I was there they were filling online orders instead of serving customers in line for 10 minutes at a time the line did not move at all. When I finally did get to the front, my food just sat on my burrito for ten minutes while they filled other online orders (serve your in restaurant customers first!) by the time I actually was able to sit down at a dirty table, my burrito was falling apart and my steak was cold. This is by far the worst Chipotle around. read more

I loooove me some Chipotle. Honestly, if you've been to one, you've been to all of them. They differ only in layout, cleanliness and portion size. Much like the mullet, there are varying degrees of awesomeness and some rock it better than others. This Chipotle is decent. There was a substantial line when we got there but we made good time moving toward the glass encasement of endless burrito-taco combinations. Say whaaaaa???? No crunchy tacos shells? C'mon Chipotle, it's A. Friday night and B. You're Chipotle. That is a crime. Imagine if McDonalds ran out of hamburger buns? All in all, decent. If I wanted more rice I asked for it and I got it. They didn't give me the sautéed vegetables though, which I thought should be a no-brainier since I opted for the sofritas. And I did forget to ask. Those minor details won't deter me. read more

I used to get the Carnitas bowl here or the Carnitas tacos or burritos. They were good but I would have to sit there after a while and pick out all the fat blobs. It was pretty gross. I asked them the last time if they could give me just the lean pieces and the lady did that, she pushed all the big jiggly fat out of the way and just gave me the lean, but to even have to ask her to do that I thought, wait a minute. It just keeps tasting saltier and saltier like the first reviewer said too and after the last experience, I just don't go there anymore, I think everyone in our family has had their fill of Chipotle. read more

I HATE Taco Bell food and it is barely my last choice on earth.....I am very picky with my Mexican food but I can stand by Chipotle because the food is pretty good. What ever you get:tacos, burritos, bowl (everything minus the tortilla) is packed full of food. You get to choose to have a base of cilantro lime white rice, pinto or black beans, variety of meats, salsa, cheese, sour cream, and lettuce. Guacamole is extra** read more

I can't complain about the quality of the food. Believe me, it is so nice to be able to count on consistent quality from a restaurant. The price and service keep this place from getting 4 stars. The food is simply too expensive. I can't in good conscience spend $10 on such simple food on a regular basis. The portions are way too big. Would love to have an option to have a smaller portion at a reduced price. Also, there is always the same problem every time I order. When I order tacos to go, I prefer to keep the shells separate so that they don't get soggy by the time I get home. For whatever reason, this always causes controversy. Sometimes, the employees look at me as if I've asked them to split the atom. Sometimes, the employees will outright refuse to pack the shells separately, and I have to talk to a manager. I was given the explanation that they don't give out the shells because they think that people are using them instead of the chips that are sold separately. #1, thank you for assuming that I'm trying to rip you off and, #2 you were about to give me the shells with the stuff inside them, JUST PACK THEM SEPARATELY!!! Why is this so hard? Sometimes I think about going, but then I envision the argument I'm going to have to have with 2-3 employees in order to get separate shells, and I just go somewhere else. read more

I Love Chipotle, who doesn't? As someone else said, this location is pretty busy, due to it being near NIU's campus. Luckily, even though it is busy, the line moves quickly and I have always been able to find a place to sit. The food is consistently good here and I cannot say that about every Chipotle. This past Saturday, I went here for lunch and it was the best Chipotle I had eaten in a really long time. read more

Usually when I ask for both rices, I expect at least a scoop of each not half a scoop. Same thing for steak, I expect a scoop not half, just another way to get me to pay for extra steak. SAME THING goes for corn, and cheese, and basically everything else. Not sure why I got such small portions of everything, when everything looked fresh and full, considering I was the only one ordering (it was also 9:00pm). Least you guys could do is talk to the employees about portions because I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had this problem. read more

LOVE chipotle. This location can get really busy at lunch because it's on NIU campus. But I have always experienced really great service there and the employees are very fun and nice. read more

I used to be obsessed with Chipotle to the point of needing to eat it once, if not twice, a week. But things just aren't the same anymore. I was recently given two gift cards for Chipotle, but I'm probably gonna gift them to someone else because whenever I go for a chicken burrito (my standard order), it doesn't taste right. I'm more annoyed that the chicken is ALWAYS fatty and/or charred. And the burrito can't even stay warm for 5 minutes while driving back to my dorm. I've never had an issue with this location's staff. They're always attentive and they give me what I ask for. Yeah, you may occasionally get an employee that shorts you on some portions, but that's just a part of keeping the line moving quickly. So it's not this location that I'm upset with, it's Chipotle's overall food quality. Not what it used to be. read more

This place is great. I mean, it's Chipotle, how could it be bad? Even when the line is literally out the door, such as noon when NIU is in session, they quickly get to you. One small issue is employee turnover. I get it, it's a college town, and a fast-food place, but they are frequently training people or the employee you get is obviously new. So that's the only time it can get a little slow. read more

This store gives the smallest portion. They gave me 1/4 of the meat portion I usually get from all other Chipotle. When I asked them for more meat (barbacoa), they charged me $3.15 for extra. I ended up paying $11 for a regular size burrito at this location. The same burrito would have cost me only $8 at any other Chipotle. Coporate should audit this store to see why this place gives the least but charge the most. Is management at this Chipotle hiding something? read more

I am a frequent visitor to this Chipotle. Some of the employees on the line have NO idea what they are doing. Not only that, some of them have awful attitudes towards customers. When I say extra white rice, put more than 1 scoop! It's not that hard, let alone it is your cheapest raw material! read more

The food used to be good till a few of us started getting stomach aches after eating there. Hopefully you don't go when the one girl who thinks she's the manager starts refusing to hear you. She needs to be put in her place and learn her job description. Stop making customers feel unheard when they ask to speak to the manager. Don't make managerial decisions if you aren't one! Glad for the one guy who is a manager there. He's the Mexican one. read more

I am obsessed with Chipotle. I get annoyed that my portions are larger when they are slower. That is about it. Otherwise, it is Chipotle. Yum. read more

I LOVE chipotle, but this location really isn't the greatest. The servers are rude, and the place is usually dirty. They also seem to be way more skimpy on product than other chipotle locations. The food is still good though and I usually go at popular times so it is warm and just off the grill. read more

Not my favorite place to eat. Expensive for what you don't get and the quality of food just doesn't seem to be where it use to be years ago!

i ordered delivery from this chipotle and it was at my door in 8 minutes. i feel like that's gotta be like a record or something

Was in this location on Nov. 2nd and the manager on duty Nancy was really rude to a elderly customer. She was super inpatient and rushing him thought the line. read more

Its just ok, nothing special about it. Staff friendly, when they are paying attention. Just simple and plain inside, ok at best Food is ok.

I go here way too often. Fast, good-tasting food on the go. Only downside is sometimes they leave the food out for a bit too long.

If you've been to other Chipotle locations then prepare to be disappointed. I'm not sure what is wrong with this location but they always skimp on portions. The rice usually doesn't completely cover the bottom of my bowl, you hardly get any beans, you HAVE to order half chicken and half steak if you want to get a reasonable amount of meat. The food is delicious, but I wish this location was on par with the Rockford (or other) location. read more

I love this place, I eat here all the time. The workers really know how to make the burritos and the food is always fresh. I ma bias because I love the company, but this is a great store to go to at any time. read more

Went to chipotle today and they happened to be out of chicken at the time, after waiting 10 minutes and ordering my food chipotle kindly gave me my meal for free! Great service! read more

The line is always long, but the service is great. They always have a smile on their face and always gives me a right amount of servings every time. read more

Every time I go here and I get a chicken bowl they chicken seems to be much saltier then other locations. Other than that, its not bad. They do tend to skimp on some ingredients, but if you ask for more they usually will give you some extra. read more

I haven't had chipotle in months after they raised their prices, and lowered their quality but after getting a gift card for Christmas I was forced to use it. Upon walking into this location the first thing I observed was overflowing trash cans with garbage on the floors. Once I got my order I instantly tasted cold chicken and semi warm rice. My girlfriend found pieces of fat all over her chicken. Chipotles quality has changed and not for the better. read more

Let me preface this with I LOVE CHIPOTLE but this chipotle has been cutting corners. You are paying quite a bit for this burrito and historically you get your money's worth. Every time I have gone lately it feels like they are cutting corners. The food still tastes good but the burrito size has been comparable to Taco Bell's grilled stuffed burrito. But maybe I have just had bad luck read more
