Pro tip: the burrito bowl is absolutely a shareable portion. If you're dining with someone, just ask for an extra bowl (or use the to-go lid) and split it. Even better, ask for a large tortilla on the side so you can roll your own burrito later. Another life hack, ask to add cheese and turn it into a quesadilla! Ordering it this way is actually a great bang for your buck. Load up on all the free toppings and suddenly you've got a nutritious meal that can easily feed two. I tried this hack many times when I was in college and balling on a budget but had to feed me and my little sister. It worked for us. My go-to combo is rice, beans, steak, cheese, milk salsa, the salsa that looks like pico, corn, fajita veggies, and sour cream topped with lots and lots of lettuce. It's fresh, filling, and every bite hits the spot. Sometimes the best menu hack is just building your bowl exactly how you want it and being generous with every scoop! Heads up that guac is extra but super worth it with chips on the side. You can ask for a cup of water for free or a really good drink option would be their specialty beverages on the side next to the soda machine. When you're done, go to Nothing Bundt cake next door to have a little sweet treat. Make sure to bring a fork from Chipotle. You'll thank me later. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Floor and tables. - Mexican Near Me - Mcallen, Texas

See all

Lazy a$$ workers. I ordered online through the app and this is the second time these idio+s don't put rice in my bowl!!! Asked for double protein, didn't get it. Asked for fajitas veggies, nope, none zero. Also, STOP PUTTING THE RICE ON TOP YOU LAZY FCKS. I would have preferred my order be cancelled if you're out of the things i ordered!!!! If you can't meet the demand for this location, manager or franchise owner of this location needs to order more product and higher more people!!!! This is the only location in mcallen that serves communities around hwy 83 specifically. DO BETTER!!!!! I would give this location negative stars if i could read more

Horrible customer service. Dirty food area, dirty dining area. Food looked like it had been sitting there all day, dry af.

As soon as we walked in I knew I should have just stayed away. The floors were all dirty with napkins and food everywhere. There was maybe like 2-3 small families and many empty tables. But they were all dirty and covered in leftover food and sour cream. There's no excuse because there looked to be about 7 workers all behind the register not doing anything, just talking and standing around. They had bad customer service too , and were very stingy with the food portions on my tacos. I'm not expecting over the top but 4 strands of lettuce? Come on, that wasn't nearly enough. They were supper calculated with how much pieces of chicken I was served. I didn't want to ask for more because I knew they would charge the double. My tacos were very skinny at the end, again the worker was very stingy w the portions. Even the guy ordering next to me noticed. When we asked the girl worker about the restroom, she just looked at me, gave me the receipt with the code and went back to chatting with the other girl at the register. Both girls at the register were standing around talking, turning a one person job into 2. The place was disgusting, we left because we didn't want to even sit there to eat. Talk about lazy employees. Do better. read more

Terrible experience , understaffed and the staff that was working didn't care :/ I waited in line for 5 minutes to get " fresh " al pastor chicken , but it was too heavily coated in the sauce , which was just gross ... do better read more

WORST expirience, never go here i went for a birthday freebie and its a side of guac, dont event get me started on the service, HORRIBLE, never go to this chipotle took 15 mins just for a TINY SIDE of guac when i came the girl just stared at me and i said .." so uhm do i take it or...?" She said u need to scan, so i did just for them to tell me i needed to order something first time trying chipotle and never coming back ! read more

Its alright. got a free entree from a wrong order. Can't complain. That new red sauce is not for the weak stomachs.

I didn't get the name of the chipotle worker, but he was wearing black wired glasses and he had black hair and a backwards cap. He made my bowl so perfect, I do not think anyone has ever made my bowl that perfect! He was also so nice and patient and made my experience amazing and the food was the best chipotle I have ever had read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Steak Burrito Bowl - Mexican Near Me - Mcallen, Texas

Bad customer service, smelt funky, brown rice was cold, and saw customers flicking each other off in the back

never had any food, I have visited three times in the last month and had to walk out each time because they were out of everything.

the ice machine was broken and there was no ice for drinks. I asked one of the many employees who was standing around doing nothing to go across the street to stripes and buy a bag of ice, or to go to one of the neighboring restaurants and ask them to help them out. But they looked at me like I was insane, and said "corporate doesn't allow us to do that." They showed zero initiative or problem solving skills. On the positive, the food was good, as always. read more

I was in town for business today, staying in hotel nearby and needing a quick bite to eat after the flight.....Normally Chipotle's are great experiences for me but this place was far below the standard for what I've seen from this franchise over the past few years. I ordered a bowl, because this location was out of tortillas by mid-afternoon. After paying I planned to dine in but turned around to look for a clean table and notice every table in the restaurant was dirty (pieces of food, dirty napkins, smeared sour cream, etc) despite what looked like 7-8 employees "working" and only 4 customers in the restaurant. The floor also looked like it hadn't been swept all day and the trash can(s) were full. (Manager was obviously not on site because the employees who were not helping customers or cooking were standing around talking to each other behind the register) Since there wasn't a clean place to sit, I asked for a lid and walked back to my hotel room. Food quality was just as disappointing as the chicken was barely edible. The texture was extremely dry, like it had set out on the line for too long - similar to what you'd expect from jerky. I couldn't get through bite #2 and eventually threw the food away. Opening the yelp app for the first time, I now see that this location gets multiple poor reviews and I am now wondering if the front end of the restaurant is that dirty, how sanitary is the back end where the food is prepared? Taste and texture proved that something is really off at this location and I hate it because I love Chipotle, but this was a far cry from the freshness and high standard their commercials advertise. This location could honestly benefit from public health inspector making frequent stops to ensure customers are safe. I'll avoid on future visits. read more

This is the second time in a row I go to this store and the store is closed 30 min before 11pm change the time of when you close on google maps and Apple Maps please read more

Worst chipotle I've ever been to. Line was crazy long . Guy on the grill looked lost. They had no food prepared when I got there.

Great Service, love the food, and l love how fresh and authentic and genuine everything was, 20/10 would recommend, am going back soon:) ordered online and my order was made to perfection, everything from the food to the dashing, handsome, young male worker that was attending to my order, 10/10 would come back just to see him, ty for your amazing great quality service! read more

Seems to be a consistent pattern here. I should have read the reviews first. Went in for dinner and there was a line of 10 people waiting to be served. With the slow service you would think everything else would be In order...ah, no. The dining area had trash on floors and tables, the soda station was a mess, and I saw a cockroach run across the floor at the register after I paid. I didn't understand the lack of portions compared to every other chipotle I've been to and there was too many pieces of steak with gristle. Too bad... read more

Another bad experience at Chipotle when will I learn? And the prices have gone up! The serving was so small it was pathetic looking so I asked for more rice. It was very crowded so what do they care. They try to upsell the gross queso and guacamole and chips. I don't think they have the shredded cheese anymore. So you pay more for less. Got to find a better go to place. read more

The first and only Chipotle in the Valley so far. I'm a fan of Chipotle so was on cloud 9 when I found out they were gonna open one in McAllen. Have only gotten the chance to been here once. The food quality is just as good as any other Chipotle. My only complaint was the service. It was extremely slow when I came in even tho it wasn't that crowded at all. Given most of the employees are new and in training, I won't hold it against them. Looking forward to go back soon and hopefully see some improvements this time. Also, they're located in one of the biggest and nicest shopping areas(there are not that many however), so you can definitely walk around and check out some of the stores or the little park that they have there to burn off the food, then go and have dessert at Corner Bakery or the Yogurt place next door. read more

the service and food were very disappointing I ordered two burritos the exact same and they messed up on my second one then I went to call customer service for a refund and they didn't respond and sent me to chat with a bot who didn't even solve my issue I'm very disappointed read more

Terrible food (steak burrito), plain and simple. Meat portion is super limited aswell.

if i could give negative zero stars i WOULD. i went to chipotle after work at 9:20 pm on a monday and the lady who works there had such a horrible attitude and was overall dismissive. we waited for almost 10 minutes to have our order taken and there was a long line behind us. she threw around the bag and receipt and was EXTREMELY RUDE. and she had an avocado keychain lol she needs more customer service training because that was APPALLING. and she gave me like 3 pieces of chicken ill just kill a bird myself and eat that. $10 for air? cmon now :| read more

The first time I went to dine in at Chipotle restaurant and had something from the menu was in January 2018. I had ridden a bicycle that was given to me the month before and I had a barbacoa borrito. I've gone though much in my journey and I was 29years of age when I had my first borrito from Chipotle. I was in one of my uniforms and took my time to enjoy my meal. It was a great experience despite some horrible matters. read more

This place is amazing. I've had really quick service and staff is friendly. Yesterday an employee, Liz, helped me and made sure my food was correct. She was patient and made the experience amazing. Can't wait to go back. Thanks Chipotle!!!! read more

i literally had a worm in my borrito ‍, the place is too small and cramped snd lines are long

This store needs lots of attention from their owners and employees. They a usually busy during lunch and dinner time but their food and customer service is the poorest around town! I have been to many Chipotle's locations in USA and this one is worst! Too bad it has one of the best locations in McAllen and because of that they are loosing lots of customers! Thank you! read more

Loved it! The food is great. The "queso" sauce is tangy and delicious. The menus is simple yet versatile. You choose from five meat choices (one of which is tofu-based for you vegetarians) served in one of five ways. It comes with two sides and is topped off with your choice of toppings. I ordered a bowl and I was thoroughly impressed. read more

Like most businesses in the valley this spot was filled with people during its opening weeks. It now is a much more accessible location after being open for a period of time. The service was good with the staff being helpful and very nice. The reason I'm giving them 4 stars is because the place was dirty while a few staff members were on break eating in the lobby. It looked like they had a long day and had given up on keeping up with cleaning. The food was good and still warm which I would say is expected. I would simply recommend to staff to keep up with restaurant so they can maintain the high overall quality. read more

Chipotle is one of my favorite restaurants, and I really do love the way this one is ran. My bowls are always made the way I want them, even though I have way too many special requests. Everyone has always been friendly, and I've even needed large orders ready in a short amount of time and they've always come through. read more

Chipotle is one of the biggest and most successful fast food chains in the world! RGV is so lucky to have one opening here! Don't pay any attention to these bad reviews. Every new restaurant needs some time to get everything in working order. Who cares if this place is small. If you've ever been to chipotle, they offer some of the best burrito/burrito bowls. You basically get to make it how you want it, and its really flavorful and delicious. I hope more chiptole locations open up in the RGV because there aren't alot of good food options. I've had chiptole in many different parts of the US, and this location is no different. You know exactly what to expect. would I go back ? hell yea read more

Really good food! The bowls are a good portion of food and you can taste the freshness. Only bad thing is the place is kinda small. Not good for groups. read more

I have been to several chipotle locations throughout Texas (Houston at Medical Center, Austin). However this McAllen location had the poorest quality of taste and quantity. Good location though, this area is booming with businesses and restaurants. The place was pretty full when we arrived and was even longer after this Mexican national began asking for samples of meat.. (What else is new in the valley..). I ordered the bowl version, which normally (at other locations) is so overloaded with toppings that when I open it, the salad spills out. This was not the case, she poured half a spoon of white rice. Pretty much half a spoon of everything, beans, corn, lettuce. I wasn't pleased to say the least. Oh and the quality of the steak was VERY chewy. I have never tasted chewy, rubbery steak from chipotle.. My sister and her boyfriend shared a burrito which normally would fill them up because the burritos are huge. I mean they are the staple of the chipotle brand. Needless to say, it was smaller than most chipotle burritos I have ordered. I don't understand why every national franchise that comes to the valley has to be watered down (literally). Oh and the chips were SOO stale. DEFINITELY not fresh. Once again, has never happened at a chipotle location in the past. Guac was okay. The greedy portions and quality of the meat make this chipotle franchise a 2-3 star value. Honestly, I don't even wanna go back because I was so dissatisfied. Thanks but no thanks. read more

Food was ok. Heard manager talking down to the staff. Very unprofessional. Needs training

We love Chipotle! Great friendly staff! Clean facility! Fresh and great food! Staff is always helpful, attentive, smiling giving 100% to every customer. Only Chipotle we go to in McAllen! read more

Good food moderately priced. Opening weekend was packed but it's starting to slow down. It's pretty much like every other Chipotle I have been to thus far. read more

I thought I would like this place, but the atmosphere is very off putting. The layout and seating arrangements are awkward, and there isn't much room to get around. As for the food, The chicken was over cooked and it had a really bad smoky flavor. There also wasn't much to choose from to add to the burrito, so that was another let down. Overall, I'm disappointed and everyone is overhyped about this place. read more

Place is soo small and seating is CRAMMED! Food is ok (choice of ONLY burrito, bowl or salad pretty much). WAY over priced for what is is.. a meat with rice/beans and some toppings. read more

Some days are better than others. Very cramped seating and line area though... I love chipotle and think this place has potential. I'll be back read more
