I DON'T UNDERSTAND how or why their food is so GOOD :) I got the Barbacoa Salad, and you should too. First, barbacoa is shredded and stewed meat - like carnitas, but carnitas is exclusively made from pork. Even the little stuff, like their lettuce, is hella good. I mean, it's just lettuce, how can it be better than the stuff you get elsewhere???? but it is. read more

Never been to a bad chipotle? Here's your chance. I know everyone comes here and the lines are long but even this one when compared to the ones in NYC and Hoboken move ever so slowly. This is normally due to the bottle necking a the cashiers station who seems to always be in training. The food is not up to the chipotle standard where the pinto beans seem to just have been boiled. And the tomatoes just seem like they added water to it. This place is just trying to pass mediocre food as chipotle. And you will never get your app-ordered food anywhere close to the estimated time of pickup and that is due to them not using the separate to-go station to prep the food. read more

I've been meaning to write this review so here I go. Two Sundays ago I went to Chipotle and purchased a steak and rice bowl for dinner. Let me just say I've been going to this location for YEARS, and the quality of the food, employee service and overall experience had deteriorated to such an extent that I will no longer purchase food here. The counters were dirty with remnants of food, the cashier pants were hanging so low, that I saw most of his boxers which out lined the crack of his ass. KIDS are running the place and it's a mess. Such a shame. They need adult managers in that place...the inmates have taken over the prison lol, and it's a MESS. read more

absolutely terrible. extremely slow service. They didnt accept cash but only told you After you ordered your meal! Food was ice cold. Never again read more

I think I'm done with this Chipotle. I go there for lunch at least twice a month and almost each time there's something is off. For once today, they had everything I wanted but the customer service is terrible. No one seems to know how to communicate when ask a question. Also, what took the cake for me, one worker had his entire ass showing (underwear on of course) but purposely had his pants down so low and shirt tucked in so you can see his entire ass. I don't get it. I tried to stick with them but I'm done. read more

This location is just an average Chipotle. They are located just right outside the food in Menlo Park Mall. There's usually a big crowd at lunch and dinner times as usual. I usually get the steak bowl with the wraps on the side. I never ran into issues with the staff throwing the food around and hopefully not. Although, I noticed that they tend to slap the ingredients in the bowl. It can look messy at times but its going to be consumed anyway. I go here because its convenient location within the mall. read more

Sign on door says "New Hours/Open Late". You should probably concentrate on your normal hours. There are only 2 employees working. There is probably 15 people in here. I've been waiting nearly 40 minutes. Ad I was almost at the front if the line, about 4 employees came out and were just standing there pointing and laughing at the line.....Awesome!!Thanka for wasting my whole lunch read more

6 people working up front and not a single one with their mask above their nose... Not. A. Single. One.

Just about your average Chipotle location. I'd say they started skimping on how much food they put in the burritos and the link, my friends can easily finish these in a quick sitting. If you get vegetarian the guac is free, otherwise it's extra. Lunch rush starts about 12:30 from all the local offices coming together, Friday's are by far the busiest. read more

All the guys that work here are losers and are extremely incompetent. Clearly states that they close at 9. Doors were locked at 8:05 when I arrived with a crowd of people who ordered online, Uber/DoorDash drivers, and people trying to go in to eat. Several knocks on the window from people just trying to grab the food they ordered. They picked up the food and THREW IT AWAY in front of everyone with no reason. B r a i n d e a d employees. Wouldn't want to be these guys. read more

Visited the chipotle in the Menlo Park mall first let me start by saying it was filthy and also the staff looked miserable. I believe that location needs to be revamped and staff retrained. A smile goes a long way !!!! read more

I waited in line for 20 minutes and I saw the store manager try to close the doors. I was next in line when she said it is 9pm and was not taking any more orders. Horrible customer service and this person should be fired. She clearly doesn't know how to manage this restaurant. There must have been 10-15 other people behind me. Definitely not coming to this chipotle or any other future ones. Surprised to see corporate allows this type of poor management and customer service. read more

I understand with COVID things may be tough, and usually I have a lot of patience, but this location has been going downhill & tonight's order was awful. We placed an order online and although the labels on the lids were correct, the entrees were all wrong. We got a bowl instead of a burrito, they completely mixed up my bowl with my father's, and the bowl I got was overflowing with sour cream to the point where it was nauseating. Mistakes happen, but with the amount of error in our order you can tell it was careless hands at work. read more

Holy shit this is the worst chipotle I think I've ever been to. Walked in 2 hours before closing, and the workers have already started closing and said "oh my god" when we walked in. Lazy workers. Embarrassed of them. Have never seen such unmotivated people. Not only did the workers not give a crap about anything, they just "happened" to be out of almost all necessary ingredients because they were too lazy to pull that from the back read more

Dirty, mean employees, nothing is stocked, food doesn't look fresh. Shame on chipotle for operating a store like this.

On May 5, 2020 they offered a free burrito with your order. I tried for 1 hour to order on their website kept getting a system failure, They would not answer their phone. I tried on May 6, 2020 I called again to see if they would make good on the offer for the free burrito, but when the call was answers it was hung up ! Guess they don't business, no problem! read more

Cold food, no ice for fountain soda and no cash..... Not usually what I expected from Chipotle but I guess you can't expect much from a food court. read more

Great food and even better service! I've been to many Chipotles in my day and I usually enjoy it every time. Today, Isel and Selena made my dinner experience especially enjoyable. They took the time to bring out a new batch of peppers and onions for my steak bowl and insisted that they provide my wife with an extra scoop of sour cream. All the while they were joking and smiling with us, the rest of their staff, and the other customers in line. I have come to expect fresh and delicious food at Chipotle, and I am going to make the Menlo Park location my main spot due to their friendly and engaging service. Thanks so much and can't wait to see you guys again! read more

Lazy workers. Sign on the door states that it is open at 10:45... as I walk inside the employee who was setting on his phone claims they open at 11:30 am. Went to another restaurant. I've seen several customers walking away as the main door of chipotle was still locked at 11:15. read more

Store was closing in an hour, not 5 minutes! All the employees gave us some major guilt trip and one had attitude because they weee already closing (translation they were already cleaning to go home at 900, even though it was 740pm) even all tables had the chairs up, so they were already trying to deceive anyone parking that they were closed. Along with not planning on cooking anything else but a tortilla, they quickly were not planning on cooking anymore. Even one employee behind the counter said "oh my god" after we walked in. Will never return to this location again. read more

Imagine paying 17$ for a burrito bowl just to be told theres no fountain drink ,and no chips and then you get your food and more then half of your steak is fat and your whole bowl is cold, this location needs all new staff there employees couldnt care less read more

Will not order from here again. Company does not stand behind their orders. Ordered online for a pickup. Prepaid order of $75. When we got home with order, there were missing items. Tried to contact store, could not get anyone to speak to. Finally found on their website to rate our service. Contacted customer support 2x. We were never credited for items we paid for and did not get. read more

Mediocre food. Major attitude. I've been here multiple times and it's as if the staff is making an effort to be rude and unfriendly to customers. While they regularly smile, laugh and joke with each other (and carry on conversations among themselves while "serving customers"), once it comes time for customer interaction the smile is gone. And typically replaced with a scowl. Theres as little dialogue as possible and they seem miffed when you're simply conveying your order. There's one young woman working there who wears oversized glasses and extra blush who is particularly rude. And that attitude come thru in the food. To the servers here, if this is not your gig find another back room type job. Chipotle corporate, your brand does not need these additional headwinds. read more

I went to the mall, just because I wanted chipotle and this was the closer one. This location was not clean and there was mess from leftover food that was sitting there for like an hour +. Anyways the taste of the food was regular, but I noticed I got diarrhea right after eating this and then throughout the day. It was the only food I ate for the day, apart from bread. I don't know how I feel about coming to this location again. I love chipotle , but I'm not getting sick over it. Also the service was very slow. read more

So today we went to this Chipotle and for some strange reason, we were on line for 30 minutes practically. There were only 5 people in front of me and we had to wait for rice to cook as well as for the steak. My friends and I got 3 meals 2 of the orders were burrito. The burrito I was given had barely any ingrediants in it, the cook added barely any chicken or rice into and to msake matters worse my friends burrito was so overstuffed that it ripped completely open. I do not know what was going on with the staff today but this was not my greatest visit. This isn't this the first time I've visited this location and have had to wait an excessive time. The staff seems utterly unconcerned with the customers and not even aware of what ingredients are in their products. I'd avoid this location all together, its definitely not worth the hassle. read more

We ate here lastweek, all of us got sick Badly, would never eat at this place, especially at the menlo mall, i don't know the standards of their hygiene, it was under staffed, as you can tell it took us 25 minutes to just get thru 8 people in line, everyone was hussling n bussling like chicken without heads to refill the containers, their were empty containers all over the tables and backside and everyone was so stressed out in order to get thru the lines. When the staff just through food at the bowl n simply says next, it's not a good sign. I don't blame them, but the management is very poor at this place. We got sick terribly the following days ahead and was in constant pain in stomach n throat. Please don't get me wrong I like chipotle, but the fact of the matter is, this particular place at Menlo mall, I would never eat at this place again. I learned my lesson now. It's just my thoughts, please use your judgment to eat whatever. read more

I am shocked at some of the lower ratings that this Chipotle has because after today, this has easily become my favorite Chipotle compared to the one in New Brunswick and South Plainfield!!! The line was long when I got there, but it went by very quick (probably 6-7 min max). They give you larger portions than the NB and SP ones, which I appreciate a lot (I literally only get 10 pieces of lettuce when I ask for it at the latter locations). I don't get why NB and SP are stingy for no reason and plus their service sucks and the employees look and sound miserable every time. The service here is pretty good and the staff is friendly when you ask for things, despite them being busy. What I noticed and I really applaud this place for is that one of the workers (not sure if he was the manager or not) was praising the other workers for their hard work. I would definitely drive the extra mile to Menlo to visit this Chipotle from now on. read more

This is the last time I step foot into this location. I ordered the same burrito that I always do, but they always mess it up. I ask for rice (they put a little spoonful), I ask for extra steak(they put the last little pieces of steak that are left), It's just so annoying. Like you really can't ask for them to bring out FRESH steak? And to top it all off, the rice was so mushy, it wasn't even completely cooked yet it was super wet! DISGUSTING! Oh and the servers don't even look like they want to be there. They sigh when you ask for extra toppings. NO ONE IS OBLIGATING YOU TO WORK THERE. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE OR DONT WORK AT ALL IF YOU CANT HANDLE IT. Never coming back here again. Get it together read more

I will go on and on for days on the great debate between Chipotle and Moes. I'm sorry, Moes ( same with Qdoba and Pancheros! ) is DISGUSTING and Chipotle is one of the greatest things ever created. I'm only reviewing this location because it is the closest to my house, but I have been to way more than 50 across the US ( Yes, I am/still obsessed and can eat this everyday of my life). This location is awesome. They have the system down to a T, just be prepared for super long lines. 1 tip- download the app on your phone and pre-order your meal to save time. Throughout the country, the food is almost exactly the same..... delicious! My friends used to make fun of me cause I checked into chipotle on Fb at least 3-4 times a week for a LONG time. Sad to say, I have cut down on my addiction! In NYC, California, North Carolina, Arizona and a whole lot of other cities/States sell alcohol, as well as margaritas. Be warned though, the margaritas are strong and worth it! Oh, and the Chipotles down south have sweet tea. Let's see, the meal I get almost every single time is- a double steak burrito bowl, double white rice, corn, mild salsa, half sour cream, half guac and extra cheese. HOW I don't weigh 100000000000000 lbs, beats me! CHIPOTLE IS THE BEST! Only complaint- need a chipotle with a drive-thru for us lazy folks out there :) :) :) :) read more

I like Chipotle. It's fine for what it is. But I just cannot fathom how all these years later Chipotle still manages to pack people in like they are giving away free money. Until this week, I had never eaten at the Menlo Park Mall Chipotle. Why? Because I just refuse to stand on a line that snakes all the way through the food court and out into the mall. And yet, no matter when I have ever come here, that's exactly the scene unfolding. But this week was different. Instead of a line of 80 or so hungry, burrito-bowl-loving Chipotle fanatics waiting to order, it was more like 20. Even then, I would normally walk away, but Chipotle is one of the few places where you can actually get a decent Vegan meal. I'm a big fan of their sofritas, which is essentially organic tofu, chilis, poblanos, and spices all braised together. They are correct in advertising that Vegans and carnivores alike should enjoy the stuff, since my dual personalities find me alternating between both classifications quite regularly. Whatever the case, it's good. Leave out the rice and beans and ask for extra onions and peppers and you can get out of here in decent caloric shape and still enjoy a flavorful, filling meal. If you're lucky you can snag a seat in the back by the window, place your back to everyone else in the mall, and actually have a relaxing time away from all the chaos behind you. read more

I ordered a veggie burrito today, but it was nothing like I am used to at chipotle. Firstly the woman slapped on the beans and rice with their juices running everywhere. Then the other larger woman rolling it, didn't even roll it correctly. I didn't have as much filling as I would normally, but even then the filling was spilling out and she continued to roll it. The outside wasn't covered in sauce and the burrito was falling apart. To make things worse, wrapping it in foil spread the sauce further outside the burrito. I was appalled. Unless they hire new staff, I def won't be returning here. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - My veggie burrito so terribly rolled around in it's own juices, I didn't want to eat it. They are slacking. Won't return here - Fast Food Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

This place has really great food I love it here. I always get the chicken burrito with beans and rice always hits the spot. I just wish the line to this place wasn't always long because it seems like every time I go it is, but other then that everything is perfect. read more

I find the chicken is nicely seasoned. Sometimes they skimp on the amount you'd get in a burrito bowl. I usually stick with their burritos when I go. One time on a really cold day, one of the workers wrapping the burritos was nice enough to wrap my burrito twice . She said that it would stay warm longer as I ordered it to go. In general, you get the typical Chipotle brand food with a very nice staff. read more

Fast fast fast. They make your order quick. I went here on a crazy Sunday. Line curling around the high chairs. Line took 10 minutes. Pretty good for a very long line. I usually get the salad or bowl. The meat was juicy, (pork), but the rice was dry and hard. Other than that I have no complaints. One star down for the rice. Fast service + juicy meat read more

This Chipotle can work through a line more efficiently than any other I've been to. While parking is rough there sometimes if I'm already at the mall I'll swing through here to get a quick bite. Maybe the workers here should be training the new at other locations because I've never had bad service here. read more

Well I didn't get e-coli. (so far so good). I would like to thank corporate Chipotle/McDonalds corporation for sending me this wonderful coupon in the mail for a free bowl/burrito/a few tacos. My trust in your big giant big brother food corp has been restored. While I have read the reports in the news about the outbreak/ the closed stores / the people in hazmat suits sweeping the Chipotles across the nation, I braved the weather and showed up with coupon in hand. Well here goes: I made the tough decision and picked brown rice over white. Then I proceeded to select black beans over the kidney variety. Next was meat. Now this was a free coupon with no restriction on meat, so I went for the most expensive of course: Steak. I got 1 solid scoop and I was hoping that the server would dig in for another 1/2 scoop but she didn't. I moved on. Next I selected my salsa: In case you don't know you can choose multiple ones. I got the mild and hot. Next came corn and sour cream followed by me skipping on the guacamole. Now here is the best tip for all of you. DO NOT GET THE CHOPPED SALAD on your burrito or bowl. It is a well know fact that the salad is the source of this e-coli. I was well informed prior to my visit and salad has the biggest opportunity for some serious growth of bad bacteria. I proceeded to sit in my iron/stainless steel booth and downed my steak bowl. I added some Tabasco of the red variety. It was a good solid meal. The best meals are often the free meals I have learned over the years. I hope the Chipotle/McDonalds corp sends me some more coupons. Thank you for that all of your advertising executives and marketing managers for creating this brand and trust building campaign. My trust has been restored in big food chains. read more

I think by now most people know what to expect from a Chipolte, this one was good, long line when I stopped in but it moved fast and the layout is kind of cool as you really watch them cook the food more here. The staff was pretty efficient, it was kind of neat watching the chaos of the lunch rush. Food came out great. read more

My main gripe with Chipotle is the cost-to-food ratio. On the one hand I love that they stress how their meat comes from humanely raised animals - there's no doubt in my mind that I would pay extra for that. However, I almost always order the vegetarian salad which is lettuce, black beans and grilled veggies for $7. I do think a scoop of guacamole is included in the price so that's good since guacamole on the side runs $2 (what's up with the crazy cost of guacamole - I can get a whole avocado for $2). I'm always a bit shell-shocked when it comes time to pay but the food is good. And the service here is usually pretty competent. I guess when it comes down to it I'd rather pay a little bit more here as opposed to taking my chances in the food court. read more

How could you not like Chipotle? At the Menlo mall location, it's usually always busy at the expected times, but the line moves pretty quickly. Aside from times where some employees could not wrap a burrito to save their life or one time when my rice was undercooked, I've had good experiences here. Most employees are very friendly and I've had the manager (or boss) ask me how everything is, which was nice! read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Typical Chipotle shot. - Fast Food Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Ordered on the app as usual and for the third time paid for chips and salsa and when picking up they don't have it. On top of it when explaining to staff the issue they do not care and we're overly rude to my fiancé which is unacceptable. At this point it's not about the money chips and salsa is cheap but when it has become a multiple time happening and the staff are no help and tell you to go complain to customer service that's the real problem. read more
