Decent chipotle bagged meat slop, worst part is how slow the workers are and how long the line gets, chipotle tastes the same everywhere but these lazy workers make it infinitely worse. read more

All in all, this is a good Chipotle Mexican Grill location and is just off of Interstate 75 and is by the outlets. It was pretty busy, but the service was friendly and overall it was a positive experience. I went with a burrito bowl and since it was so busy, I ate in my car. It has the usual ambiance that you would expect from a Chipotle Mexican Grill. I would definitely recommend this particular location of Chipotle Mexican Grill. read more

Wow!!! Absolutely filthy. It is surprising that management doesn't direct some cleaning energy in this location. I live nearby and try it from time to time. Always the same. The food is not kept at a proper temperature. and employees just don't seem engaged. Lacks direction. read more

Steak was all bristle. Tasted disgusting. First and last, I definitely won't be back.

We were not going to come here after seeing the reviews, but decided to ask some mall workers and they said they always eat there and it's good. So we gave it a shot. Line was very long, workers were working hard and getting through quickly. Our food was very fresh and served with a smile! Great job. read more

The chipotle is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good and it doesn't mess up a lot and it's local

The roaches in your food are a nice touch to the dirty state of the restaurant every time we've gone. We won't be back, which is a shame because there aren't many food places up that way. read more

The most terrible experience at the Chipotle in Ellenton. Disgusting tables full of trash, staff that yells at you as you order in line and no one can help me redeem points on my app. Never coming back! read more

I went in for a steak salad, I was there about 7pm and they close at 10pm, here are my observations.... 1) they were about out of salad, he had to scrape from the bottom of the bowl to get some lettuce. 2) they were out of fajita veggies, nobody seemed interested in checking to see if more were coming. 3) there was very little steak left, again he had to scrape the bottom of the pan to get me a skimpy serving. 4) the guacamole was brown, I got a small dollop on top of my salad then he took the rest of the bowl away because it looked bad. 5) of the little bit of steak I did get I couldn't eat most of it because it was fat/gristle. 6) I got a big chunk of avocado skin 7) the kid in front of me was obviously friends with half of the kids working there as most of them waved/acknowledged him. He got double chicken AND double steak (leaving little for anyone else) and he was only charged $9.40. I got charged $2.70 extra for my little dollop of brown guacamole. 8) they were out of salad dressing, a fact nobody bothered to tell me until after I paid for a salad Overall, very disappointing, they shouldn't be out of so many items with 3 hours to go. The picture I took of the whole bowl was an afterthought. I had already begun stirring it to mix everything together so it looks a little fuller than it actually was read more

The guy portioned like he was rationing in WW2. Not cool man. For $11 this is nuts. And the rice is not even fully cooked and the chicken is dry. Again, not cool. read more

I went to Chipotle on Wednesday and Thursday of this week to order a Burrito for dinner. I had the best experienced. I was there on Thursday 8/28 around 5:45. The people behind the counter, were pleasant and polite and I was greeted with a smile. They were wonderful. I also went there on Friday, 8/29 around 3:50 and had the same experience. The food was really good. The cilantro rice was so delicious with the shredded pork, it really complimented eachother. The guacamole and everything else was fresh and tasty. Thank you for a great experience, so whenever I'm in the mood for a Burrito, it will be my go to place. Kudos!! read more

My wife & I went here for dinner Wednesday afternoon and we will never go back. The work area behind the counter was dirty and messy to look at. We ordered chips & salsa with our meal and asked for extra salsa. We were then told that this wasn't allowed. They finally gave us 2 small cups. Then we found that the chips were stale. They did give us another bag that was somewhat better. While we ate, we noticed that the 2 garbage cans were over full and mentioned this to 2 different workers. They never did empty the cans so we just left our mess on the table and left. Never again !!! read more

The food and service were great but, up your game by cleaning the tables, chairs, and floors. Everything sticking to my shoes.

This place was terrible they gave me half a scoop of about all i got ( rice al pastor chicken veggies and guac) it wasn't good, I would never come here again there portion sizes are ridiculous and should be illegal. The picture below shows how much food they served it's an absolute disgrace that they think the can treat their loyal, paying customers in such a nasty and disgusting way. I will never come here again it was an absolute disgrace to the chipotle company. Avoid this place at all costs and find one that's worth your time. Recently chipotle has been getting terrible press from their portion sized and I hadn't experienced this until today . Absolutely horrible , terrible, ridiculous, disrespectful, and disgusting. Do yourself a favor and don't come here. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Food - Fast Food Near Me - Ellenton, Florida

Seen the bad reviews before going but went to make our own opinion of the place, since chipotle is usually pretty good. It's a small parking lot but sufficient for the smaller than usual dining areas. The food wasn't horrible but definitely not up to standards we've had at other chipotle locations in other states. What was very disappointing was to see how filthy the restaurant was. Not a single clean table anywhere, trash overflowing inside and out, soda machine out of most options, juice dispensers looked sketchy and not appealing to even try them. It looked like they had plenty of people working behind the counter but not a single person was out cleaning the dining area the entire time we were there. We cleaned our own table off to sit down and eat. The cleanliness is the biggest reason for the low rating. Definitely do not recommend going to this location until they can learn to keep it clean. I'd be surprised if this place would pass a health dept inspection. read more

When I walk in the first thing I notice is the complete filth on all the dining tables. Great, cause I am dining in. Waited to see if the cashier just standing around would clean the dining area but that never happened. Plenty of missed opportunities. She finally did go out and clean after I was halfway through my meal. The food bar was even pretty messy I mean are they not training employees to clean their workspace in between customers? They really skimp on portions. I ordered a veggie bowl and kept having to tell her to add more beans and rice since that is the bulk of the whole meal. My grandma's bowl was so slim. Chipotle used to be so cheap and now it's expensive and they hardly give you any food. Back in the day a bowl used to give me three meals. Now I'm lucky if it gives me two. I asked for water cups, and when I went to the back to get water, the whole soda fountain was down and when I press the water button, carbonated water came out, so I just help myself too juice out of the fountains next to the sodas. I was really excited to find out this location existed, but I don't think I'll go back. read more

Disappointing here in Ellenton..Chipotle was a 10 back in California...and a popular, trendy "go to" place on the week end. While this location is close to home, the parking is confusing and limited; the door does't make sense for the line...seating is incomfortable and uninviting for dining in. Outside seating is limited and more often than not, hotter than blazes, (mostly sun). Inside, the tables needed cleaning..alwzys..it was a mess...and soooo loud! With most of the noise coming from the open kitchen. There were 3 ppl working around 11-ish...when more came in to work after noon, nothing changed. Spot checking.and refilling on the floor appreared non-existant. They were out of diet coke the entire time we sat there...and out of TP for the ladies bathroom...Okay, thats asthetics...The food: I bought into the new advertisement, for the carne asada. ( i usually order carnitas ) - not worth the hype... A carne asada bowl, a diet coke (one size) and a side bag of chips (the bag has shrunk) w/ pico de gallo was nearly $18.00!!! Say what? Sad experience. read more

This place was not bad not great either. When I came in most of the table was dirty it not busy at all and it's lunch time. A lot more car going thru I think they have a drive thru. Anyways as much as they charge they need to give me more portion. I wanted to try the carne asada steak. It wasn't great ! I order a bowl with white rice, steak, cheese, pico, lettuce. Barely gave me a full scoop. I had a drink and a chips side hot sauce and vinaigrette. All came to $18+ wTH!!! I Order this the same once in GA for $15 that was just a month ago. If you're charging me that much the meat should be hot l will take warm even. Portion was small. No happy!!! read more

Nice to see this location doesn't care. Reported privately to them 3 different ways I was dissatisfied I ordered food via the app over a hr in advance of the pick up time and my when I got home my food was cold. And the bag was soggy from all the salsas & sour cream having time to leak out. So how long was it sitting there? I normally don't have any issues with chipotle but legitimately expected them to reach out and make this right. Guess not, so now I'll report publicly. read more

worst chipotle i have ever had. tasted disgusting. no salt on chips. had no minute made lemonade.

BEYOND RUDE. The workers here totally do not want to be at work, they are rude, slow, confrontational and dismissive. Shyann was working the register I asked for a receipt and she said (with plenty of attitude) "it'll be in your bag like always" I said not all chipotles give receipts and it was my first time at this location, she looked at me and rolled her eyes. The kids working the food spent 8 minutes cleaning up while I stood there, with somewhere to be mind you. I love chipotle and I'm a rewards member and this is by far the worst chipotle I was ever at. I won't be back read more

I think I saw 14 staff behind the counter. The line was out the door. I had never been to a Chipotle before. I was with a friend, she had never been either. So we gave it a try, we ordered a veggie salad meal and a regular chicken bowl meal. The food was not that great, it was too spicy for me. She said hers was just okay. Neither of us finished our orders, nor did we take the leftovers with us. The outside dining area was not clean, and we wiped our own table down before sitting to eat. The drink fountain was messy and the counter was covered in spills. Neither of us thought that we would return to this chain. There are too many options available out there. read more

I love chipotle. We eat it weekly. Was passing through and ordered food on the app. Wow what a disappointment. Literally received half the food that I normally receive. The rice was completely cold and in lumps. I asked for extra corn salsa and there was maybe 10 kernels in my whole bowl. Overall all the food we got was bad. And the girl at the window just seemed annoyed we were even there. read more

Garbage. I ordered one burrito bowl, set the time for pick up so it would be fresh, hot there a few mins before my pickup time. I sat at the window for 15 mins with no one coming to the window. Finally, when someone came, they handed me a bag that has been sitting there for so long, it was literally dripping sauce and soaked thru. I told the guy I need a different bag it's spilling. When I got home, the bowl was upside down. It was disgusting. My husband said it looked like the inside of a toilet in a port-a-potty. Whoever runs this place needs a different job. read more

I love chipotle, but the service here is terrible. The line is always backed up when it gets even slightly busy. The workers always skim on food when it comes to making a burrito. If you can't wrap a full burrito then get someone to help. Don't give me a half a scoop of rice and meat. The heck?? When I ask for more meat I get the age ole "it's going to be extra." Are you serious right now?. Also the attitude of some of the workers is slight but noticeable. You can tell they dread working there. On another note, I just received an online order from them for my co worker and I. My burrito became a bowl and his bowl was a burrito. Also my stead was changed to chicken and they put beans in when I requested no beans. My co worker didn't even get meat it's just beans, rice and cheese. They even slapped a sticker on the bowl that said "burrito". It's actually pretty amusing my office got a kick out of it. Biggest waste of $40. You need workers with competence. Not hard to read an order and make it. The ingredients are literally laid out for them! read more

Always a horrible experience at this chipotle. Food is fine but employees are rude and contradictory. I purchased 5 bowls and plenty of sides. Over 50$ worth of stuff and they said I couldn't get vinaigrettes because I didn't order a "salad" A salad has the same ingredients as a bowl except with lettuce on the bottom. I offered to pay for the dressings and they wouldn't let me do that. Said I'd have to purchase 1 "salad" to get 1 dressing? Makes no sense. Update: called corporate and they said that is NOT the policy. And they will address it with this location read more

My wife is waiting in the drive through line as I write this. She has been there for a half hour!!! Edit* She just texted me and said they told her to park in the lot and they will bring the order out to her because it's not ready and they are 6 orders behind. We ordered online over an hour ago!!!! This is crazy. Never again. If you don't have enough help for online orders then don't offer them read more

This poor location needs new management. Workers unmotivated and probably overworked. It's ALWAYS SLOW and a long wait. usually dirty and unclean after guests leave. Trash cans are always full.

I keep trying to give this location a shot and every time I am disappointed. The staff is either rude or unhelpful and the amount and quality of food is just sad.

Line out the door, and these clowns are still doing two Togo orders between people in the line.

I ordered a salad... and got NO LETTUCE. This has happened multiple times now. If you want your food to come out right, don't go here.

I would like to see the employees cover their beard and tie their hair back. Food is good.

Terrible! Ordered through DoorDash. Missing ingredients on both items, tacos and burrito bowl were practically empty. Was told they ran out of chips and salsa but was still charged. Food was awful. Never again. read more

I was wondering why the parking lot was so empty during peak time. The ABSOLUTE WORST chipotle in the area. Brand new, fully staffed, but just awfully ran. A large pan of fully cooked chicken breast sitting in the kitchen, but nobody is chopping it up, then telling customers you have no chicken. The prices are so high so you're all getting paid to stand around? It's the only place to eat in Parrish, so you can make so much money if it wasn't managed so poorly. I will gladly jump on 75 and drive down 2-3 exits to avoid this God forsaken place. Even at these gas prices. Management get your stuff together!!!!!!! read more

NO CHEESE ??? Really the place was trashed too every table was dirty I was offered a 22oz drink on a crap $32 order by their support person, I really should have just left and let them waste the food, poorly managed company I won't ever go back online support offered a 22oz drink 10 cent value for a $32 order for 2 people what a JOKE !!!! Wouldn't eat at this franchise again in this lifetime !!! read more

Always good, fresh food at most Chipotle restaurants I've visited. What makes this location different is the staff behind the counter. Great food. Outstanding staff with true smiles on their faces. It was very busy with a line waiting to put in their orders. The staff were like rocket machines! Well trained with smiles on their faces. I would attribute this to good management. KUDOS!!! read more
