I speak for myself when I say this was one of my favorite Chipotle facilities. They tend to fill up my bowl and the food was delicious. After classes last year, I'd grab a bowl for lunch and I was almost always satisfied. Despite the long lines during the weekdays, it was worth seeing that I got my money's worth. In general, the staff was respectful and professional. I'd recommend this facility. read more

This place is the dirtiest place I have ever eaten in. The place is filthy the service is horrible as they try to push you along the line. Garbage on tables that have not been wiped all day. The beverage area is a mess. I can't believe how the township has not closed down this place. read more

We ordered several bowls through the app and they got one right. They then had the audacity to ask us to come back to get the changes instead of a refund. This isn't the first time we have had issues here. Your guacomole also tastes like soap. read more

Went in to order a bowl before starting work only to find a hair in my food. I know it wasn't mine because I have thin brown hair and this hair was black and curly. Service also wasn't too good, I asked for guacamole on the side and they gave me some green salsa instead. read more

I am visiting from out of town and have lots of food allergies. We went today but did not eat. Asked my meal to be prepared gluten free, because I have to be for medical reasons. The first person said what is that? She asked a second person and he said All is gluten free. They were both very unconcerned and seemed put out. We walked out. In the past any Chipotle has been learned in procedures of Gluten Free Celiac handling. This is not acceptable to be treated so disrespectful and lack of concern for my food needs or any person with Allergies. This store needs to be trained in respect for the customer, and listening to what they require. This location will reported to Gluten Free Philly and Celiac Association of Philly. read more

Prepared to eat in a succulent restaurant Chipotle. If you are into quesadillas, mostly into Mexican Food, and burritos then this is the restaurant for you. The last time I was here this place was buzzing around so much. Many people come here to eat but mostly for takeout. Many people eat this for dinner. It is a fast food restaurant but the food is amazing to eat. But also these foods can be eaten for brunch time. This is a heavy meal so it could be helpful for not having hunger. As we are entering the atmosphere let me say that the artificial lighting enhances and is glorious. The sitting area would need some work. It does not have a soft, luxurious feeling that you would have when you sit in a comfy area. There are no decorations. The color brings out the mood and all I see is a bland mood which is unacceptable on the walls. The take-out area needs a bit of work. There is a place in the back where there is a serving area. They also have a restroom. You could find this in South Plainfield, East Brunswick, Jersey City, Metuchen, Princeton, and Edison. There are many more places, these are just a few options. These options are all in New Jersey. But as we move onto the food let me tell you it is breathtaking and is to die for. The scrumptious area where you smell a piece of Heaven, the taste and flavor is a work of art. This restaurant's sublime flavor brings out the restaurant feeling. Some unique drinks are soda, apple juice, and chocolate milk. There is a kids meal where you get to pick a variety of foods you would like. For example black beans, corn, and rice with quesadillas on the side. You would start out at picking a kids menu, burrito, or quesadillas. The quesadilla can have just cheese, or just chicken, otherwise both together then heated. People choose what they want in the burrito bowl. Then you would pick what you want: guacamole, corn, beans, chicken, rice, spicy salsa, cheese. This place is vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Once you have the food, you would be able to choose juices, chips, or berries. Then you are all set and unlike other restaurants this one people can pick what you want and it won't take a long time. When you are choosing your foods there are other people that are in front of you or behind that can also order what they want. The food is sumptuous, sultry, and plentiful. Even if this place is crowded with people the food does not run out. But what if you have too much salsa do you get another burrito bowl ? Well that brings me on to the service. If you have too much salsa or guacamole they would take it out and then you could tell how much you would like. If you need any drinks, spoons, forks, knives, tissues, or salsa they already got it. There is a place where you could get all these things. There is not really a service like a waiter. But the fascinating website link of the Chipotle app is stunning. It allows more customers to be able to just click on their dish and take it. The prices are mostly cheap; it is mostly lower than $10.00. So in conclusion Chipotle has great food but can do better in decoration. It could be better because the place is unappealing. But it has an enormous space to eat and to buy at the same time which makes up the decorations. The food is divine. The atmosphere could be better but overall it is a exotic place to eat. So now come by to Chipotle and taste one of their brilliant foods. read more

I can't understand why people love chipotle so much. I been to this one and the one in bridgewater and it never impresses me. It's barely better than taco bell yet it's twice as expensive. If you want real mexican go to Casa Maya or another non-chain/ franchise place. Chipotle is so over-hyped it's ridiculous. It's like the olive garden of mexican food...bland and worthless. read more

The quality of the food at this chipotle is good and they do not skimp on the portions. It can get incredibly busy here so I do recommend mobile ordering. My only complaint is that my order has been wrong a couple of times. They did fix it without any questions asked but I was already home when I noticed. Considering I go here frequently, these minor mishaps have not deterred me from coming back. I do recommend the app which also lets you earn points which can be used towards a free meal! read more

Gross i should have listened to my gut feeling and toss out the food instead now dealing with food poisining. Do yourself a favor stay away from the one on Rt 1 Princeton read more

Very disappointing, ordered ahead and had multiple double steak orders, and we did not receive double steak. Orders were very skimpy for 6 people. read more

Lets be honest, this Chipotle is the exact same as every other Chipotle and Mexican chain store across the country. However some employees are hella awkward. When I finish ordering at the cash register sometimes the employees stand there while I hold my credit card in front of them like an idiot, or they stare into my soul and remind me of all my broken dreams. Walking into this establishment is sometimes an emotional roller coaster. I gotta give it to them though, the diarrhea and E coli is quite a blast after eating here. 8/10 would take my grandma. read more

Dirty tables, employees more interested in chatting with each other and yelling across restaurant than help customers. Abrupt cashier. Kinda sad compared to other branches to be honest. Chipotle, pay your people better and pick up your quality control. read more

This food tastes okay, if inauthentic, but it cannot be good for you. Seriously. I tried it again today, and have had 4 16- ounce glasses of water after lunch. This is not a good sign. I suspect the food is loaded with sugar and even more salt. This is not good. Of course Pei Wei next door is really dreadful. read more

Even though the food here is amazing, the line is always so long and at least a 40 minute wait each time. I've been here multiple times and every single time I come back the line is always out the door, clearly there is a problem. Management should fix this problem or hire better people to fulfill this job. Clearly they have a capacity issue but don't fix it because the loyal customers are willing to wait in line but I'm done with this location read more

I love Chipotle with my whole heart and soul. There is not a single thing I don't like about this company. Except, perhaps, that there are not more of them in the greater Princeton area, resulting in ridiculously long lines at this location, especially during peak lunch and dinner time hours. I'm pretty sure they could build one RIGHT across the street and both locations would be busy. But, I digress. Wonderful food at great prices. The line moves fairly quickly. The ethics and earth-friendliness of this fast food chain are unparalleled. Their cups have poems and stories on them. Who could ask for more? read more

Fresh Mexican fast food. I usually get the burrito bowl and it is delicious. There is usually a very long waiting line so we have started ordering from home using the Chipotle app. It is easy to use, you skip the line and the food is ready when you arrive. Love this place!! read more

Went here on the 25th of April. A voucher for 2 free entrees since, my last visit the order was not correct. The staff is extremely rude. Their tone, is extremely Disrespectful and act like we are wasting their time. The restaurant is a mess and it's disgusting. The sour cream was cross contaminated with salsa droppings from scooping over the container. The floors and tables were filthy and do not get started on the bathroom. Shudders. Went to check out and handed the cashier the voucher, which makes two meals free, she tries to take 2 dollars off my order. She doesn't even look at my voucher. I REALLY wanted to give this place a chance, because I love chipotle and it's the closest to my house, but this place is honestly horrible. I will be checking out qdoba read more

Love chipotle and I'm so happy that one has opened near me but the line here always moves SO slowly.

Unbearably slow. Gives tiny amount of food vs other chipotle I've been to. Guacamole costs more than other chipotle and comes in tiny amount as well (probably because it's princeton). I hope they improve their service operations. read more

I love Chipotle but this place is too loud and the order takers keep getting my order wrong. Make sure to speak up or you will not get what you want. read more

Normally this chipotle is ok but occasionally they are a little slow...speed it up guys! Stir those beans and grill them chickens!

This review is specific to this location (labeled Princeton but it's really West Windsor--next to the Trader Joe's). The food is good and reasonably priced, but count yourself lucky if they get your order right, esp. if you order guacamole, which they seem to omit with some regularity--doesn't matter if you order in the restaurant or online, apparently. And I second those who note that they always seem to be out of something. Tonight it was cheese--really? Granted they had more after a few minutes, but it was only 5:15. read more

The food is pretty good for a fast food place. I always get the tacos because the burritos are huge! There is usually a long line at this location but it goes pretty fast. I was there today and the ladies room water didn't work, all the tables were dirty, and they were out of ice and napkins! Yuck!!! Maybe management needs to hire more employees to keep the place clean. That's why I give it only 3 stars. The food is good and consistent though so I'll go back. read more

This rating is for service based only. The food was great as always got my usual. But how slow the staff were was embarrassing. I'm used to out the door lines moving quickly and efficiently. I was waiting 30 min on the line alone. Then they were super slow making it as well, keep reasking the same questions. When we finally sat down 45 min later we realized my friend got someone else's burrito. Super unorganized and messy. There were 7 people behind the glass. Unacceptable. Step up! read more

The food was actually tasty but the garbage is overflowing, the staff isn't friendly, and tables and work space is dirty. Ordered food as a to go order and then when i got to the register and paid the worker walked away and didn't give us a bag or anything, so thankfully we were just sitting in the store to eat our dinner. I wouldn't come back here again based on the cleanliness of the store read more

Food was very fresh today and they forgot our guacamole. I only wanted it replaced next time but the manager Dan went above and beyond Looks like service and quality is improving!!! We love it because we live close by and would rather go here than most places keep up the great work. Deleted my old review from 5 months ago very happy as we are from Colorado and almost all chipotle out there are awesome! read more

Wow, this new franchise chain shocked me with its long line. I've been away from states for almost 3 years. The economy is on downhill but this chain is growing successfully. I'm not a big fan of Mexican food. I passed by Rt 1 and saw the long line then I decided to give it a try. Not too bad. Average food. The staffs are friendly and well trained. Since I'm not so familiar with the choices or ingredients, they explained to me patiently although the whole store are packed. The waiting time is somewhat longer than I expected. I will come back but not too soon. I prefer more dining experience with full service. read more

I'll never understand the hype of Chipotle. I've been to a few and the food is good, if overpriced, but I fail to see the attraction. This particular establishment disappointed me. I went with my girlfriend and we both needed to repeat ourselves to the staff multiple times when ordering. They made numerous mistakes and just weren't on the ball. They were not rude, but they didn't seem to know what they were doing, nor care. It was not even particularly crowded when we went, no lines, so it's not like they were overwhelmed. We both got burritos. They were alright but I've had better at Pancheros at the Hamilton Marketplace and Qdoba at Market Fair, both of which are considered "knock offs" of Chipotle (though arguably better). The shredded cheese was cold and hard, the meat was grisly, the guacamole was unremarkable. Nothing really stands out, to be honest. It was certainly a Chipotle burrito but it didn't blow my mind and I didn't leave satisfied. The atmosphere is also unwelcoming. You feel like you're sitting in a school cafeteria, very noisy and uncomfortable. Anyway, I could get a much better, heartier burrito at Pancheros in Hamilton for about $2 less of what I paid, and the staff are much more attentive there. They even give you free food if it's late and they have extra that they were gonna throw out anyway. Qdoba is also great but pricey. read more

I have to write a review because this is one of the few places that I will go out to eat. I can't have gluten and they are always able to accomodate me. I have been to this location about 3 times and all the staff members were well trained and knew what I was talking about. You could have knocked me over with a feather when a 17 yr. old boy jumped right in to make my bowl and knew what I could and could not eat. I think the staff is great. They were all very helpful. As a courteousy to the rest of humanity, I won't go in there when it is busy because I can only have one person touch my food and that upsets the dynamic of how Chipotle serves their food. read more

Been to this location 3x's and food is super-delicious, however customer service?? Not so much- the staff isn't friendly and it seems as if you're bothering them . If you're in between locations, choose the other one. read more

The food here is great but there could be times where the staff could be rude and unfriendly. But when I come to the cashier she always made sure that I was fine and my meal was made correctly. I understand that the dining room could be a mess but this location is always busy so there is no time for them. While I'm in line this man started yelling at the employees and made them all upset no wonder why they have attitudes. Poor them ! But overall I like this place read more

Systematically inept. Tonight it had yet more "outage" signs where they've run out of certain types of food - it's not an especially diverse set of options but they can't get it right. The icing was waiting at the front of the line while they made 9+ burritos for someone else not in the building (although they were getting shorted on beans and meat). I left after 9, because my time and money are more valuable. read more

Overrated. Pay extra for Guac? I'd hit Moe's instead. This place is too packed. Always hard to find a seat.

This place is always ridiculous regardless of the time of day (unless it's closing time). Even for the high throughput of chipotle, this location sags big time. They're often also out of ingredients (like tortillas), and aren't the most friendly. However, it's chipotle and is a delicious stop-by meal. read more

Good food but the 2x I've come to this particular store, the place was dirty. It detracts quite a bit from the meal. So many people preparing food, none taking care of the dining area. read more

By far the worst Chipotle I've ever been to. Food is extremely bland and the customer service is horrible (only during the evening shifts). A bunch of young kids goofing off on the line not to mention many unnecessary conversations being heard that customers should not hear. If you can avoid going to this Chipotle, by all means PLEASE DO! read more

I was very disappointed to this location , I've to other locations and have always been happy. These people are more worried about moving the line vs taking your order and giving you what you asked for it I even asked before paying if certain things were excluded or added and just to get me out they said yes. Remember people it's about QUALITY NOT QUANTITY. I will not visit this location again. read more

What's the point of pre ordering if it takes an hour to be made?? This place gets worse by the day!

The rating is based solely on the speed or lack thereof of the servers. This place is always slow as molasses. I would strongly advise against stopping unless you have an hour to kill. read more

I normally don't post reviews but I had such a terrible experience at this Chipotle that I had to. I placed an order for my food through the Chipotle app, which said that my food would be ready within 15 minutes. I could tell that they were really busy at this time so I figured that it would take longer for my food to come, so I waited for almost an hour - and my food never came. I then asked one of the employees where my food was, and she told me that my food had already been made and my order had been processed, but it didn't show up as an official order. Because their manager was in a "bad mood" I could not get my food, despite it already being made and already paying for it. In addition, I wasn't able to get a refund at the actual location and had to do it online, but I'm still yet to get my money back. Needless to say, I will never be returning to this location unless they get a new manager. read more
