I decided to give Chipotle another shot since last time may be just a bad day. So glad I stopped by today as the service I received was phenomenal. Food came out super fast and Miranda was a joy to have an interaction with. Will be back to this location with a big tip next time. It felt nice to be treated like a loyal customer. The seating area also looked much cleaner and there were still juices left. Everything was much more inviting. I now recommend this location. read more

The food from this location was so good. The ingredients tasted super fresh and were just generally better. The staff too was super kind and accomodating to all of our customizations. The portions were MASSIVE. Our bowls were overflowing from the sides and were just so heavy, we couldn't even finish! I think what stood out was how the pico felt so fresh and crisp, the tomatos weren't browned or wilted. Overall, would come back to this location if I was in the area. read more

Yuck at 6:30pm. We walked into the restaurant it was completely empty and all the tables were dirty, the back counter was dirty, and there was minimal amounts of food in the bins. Three of us got bad vibes from the mess, walked out and drove to the Arroyo Grande location. Much better all around. read more

This location is beyond dirty I honestly didn't even realize how bad it was until I got to the cash register, and I saw all the trash on the floor. Even though the staff is really nice it was just beyond gross in the store. I just think that it's has a bunch of health violations. I am honestly shocked ... read more

I came here for dinner prior to getting to my hotel during a work trip. The restraint wasn't too crowded but I will say it was rather messy where they make the meals. The cooktop was especially bad as it sat there burning the leftover food scraps directly in the cooking surface. Whoever cooked the most recent batch of meats should have absolutely scrapped/cleaned the cooktop immediately following the cooking instead of allowing it to burn on. The fajita vegetables looked old (brown instead of colorful). Compared to other Chipotle's, they provided less of each item when creating a bowl. Whether they thought they needed to provide less or what is unknown. read more

Always out of something in your order, food all over the counter, understaffed and the employees there are almost always obviously new, skimp like crazy in the portion sizes. Love Chipotle, I used to eat it 5/6x a week, now more like 2/3, but this location is just so poorly managed it's crazy. :(( read more

Their soap dispenser in the men's bathroom has been out for over a week and I've mentioned it several times. This means employees are not washing their hands before handling our food after using restroom. read more

I went on my lunch break and this location was slow, upon looking at the food I noticed how dingy everything looked. I mean there's more than 6 people working and no one can wipe things down, no hair nets and a sub par personality. Get you something better! read more

I like Chipotle. I often refrain from eating meat and dairy and Chipotle has been a reliable place to get a large burrito that suits my preference while on the road. Last night my son and I stopped into this particular location and left shortly afterwards without ordering. It was crowded, and understaffed and we would have been waiting a long time to eat. With so many other restaurants serving similar food in the area there was no reason to wait. Done. Hope it helps! read more

go to pressed quesadilla grill instead. 1000x better. after multiple issues at chipotle they "apologized "and offered me a free drink read more

Recently adjusted staffing, and are paying more attention to the line. The wait time will depend on Cal Poly being in session or not. (Finals week / Beach Day = Long Waits / half items not made) read more

Always out of chicken. The staff is unprepared and rude sometimes. Please replenish and cook new batches frequently!

Seriously what is going on with this location? It is severely understaffed and has been the case for a long time. The place is always extremely dirty with trash all over the floor, tables and soda station are filthy and the kitchen looks just as bad. Not the workers fault, how can they keep up when they barely have someone to help out the customers? Only one person for a long line, doing all the stocking and checking out. Frustrating to look at the other reviews and see that chipotle is well aware of this situation but no real action towards the problem. read more

I ordered a carnitas bowl and while eating realized the carnitas were still cold. I went back inside to see if they could make me a new bowl with warm/hot carnitas. The employee helping me asked the manager on duty today and she made face and had him to give me a side of carnitas from the same cold batch I was just served from. They gave my back my bowl with the cold carnitas and gave me a side of cold carnitas. As a business the goal is to keep customers coming back...I will not be returning to this location for how this was handled. Now I have to pick out the cold carnitas out of my bowl and warm them up with the new side of cold carnitas. Makes no sense. read more

The food was tasty but cold. The place was a mess, dirty tables and food all over the floor. The soda machine was out ant the ice was on the floor and piling up in the dispen tray. The staff was too busy to do anything even though there were at least 6 people on duty. I will not go back to this location again. read more

Taste 5/10 Cleanliness: 2/10 Options: 7/10 Customer service: 5/10 Chipotle is ok at best now. They only reason to get it are the large servings. This place is super busy. They rarely check on mobile orders. Half the time menu items are missing. The place looks ok, but is often very dirty. The utensil holder usually have some random liquid mixtures in it. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Short staffed long lines. Serving counter has food scattered all over the counter, the employee was prepping food for customers and using the cash register and touching cash without washing or exchanging gloves. It's against health code. Also they ran out of corn, salsas etc. A loud customer waiting for their food pick up was in the way of the register and on speaker phone yelling at someone and none of the employees told them to be quiet or to leave even though that person was disrespectful and disruptive to the facility, physically in the way of chipotle making their sales, and other customers. Will not be back. read more

This Chipotle is the worst! I have stopped to grab meal 4 times and end up walking out. They never have the fratias aren't ready. Today the fratias looked like they were from last night. After waiting for someone to take(stood there for maybe 3 minutes) my order someone came up and told me I would have to wait about 3 more minutes b4 the server would be available. Whoever runs this store needs to do better! read more

Inconsistent. Sometimes they severely undersalt ingredients like the rice, which makes my vegan burrito taste like literally nothing. This happened today and made me wanna turn around and get my money back. :/ read more

Continually the most dirty, unkept Chipotle I visit. Dirty tables, messy food prep area. How about a manager with some leadership to influence excellence and establish discipline and standards! read more

Wanted to get something relatively healthy for dinner and Chipotle fit the bill. The staff efficiently pulled together a Chipotle bowl with steak, the famous cilantro lime rice and all the other fixin's ($9.45). Lemonade and a large side of guacamole with chips, was out the door for $20. ***** Note to Chipotle HQ: You have some of the most positive team members working here, so friendly and professional and the store is immaculate front to back. Food was A+ too. Please consider putting a tip field on credit card purchases because counter staff deserve to be tipped, too. read more

Dear Chipotle Mexican Grill, First, I am writing this review to express my bad experience with your restaurant. To begin, I ordered a bowl of brown rice, beef, sour cream, beans, and guacamole. When I placed the order, I placed it at 9 p.m., but it said it would be delivered at 9:45 p.m., which happens sometimes, but when I got my order, I saw that they forgot my guacamole and the bowl look like it was rushed so it looked pretty messy. Sincerely, Dana Nunez nunezdana0822@gamail.com read more

Worst experience ever filthy store Menu items not available rude staff. Basically flung our food across the counter to us. read more

This place is known for not having items. Very understandable as everything comes fresh. Although today, I came in and got a bowl and paid in cash. Quickly after I realized the guy had given me too much change. I go back immediately to let him know and the manager comes up to oversee what I was doing and I was counting it back handing them their money. The manager then in the middle of me doing this asks me to give him all the money so he can count it. As I did that the man starts to accuse me for not giving them all of the money back. This was crazy to me. As I'm trying to do the right thing the manager then accuses me of stealing what was owed to them. When simply I could have walked about with everything. I thought this was very unprofessional and the managers needs to consider the way that he treats customers. Doing this with not even a thank you I left as he continued to get mad at the man for making a mistake when some bills were stuck together and he gave me too much change. Sorry to see how management reacted when I am a frequent customer. read more

Honestly, can I give a negative number??? Always, always, always out of something. Each and every time, no rice, no beans, no salad or dressing. A dirty, messy, mess completely out of character for the Chipotle in other big, busy locations. Shame on the manager to let these poor kids try to manage the place under these circumstances. Dirty, dangerously wet floor. Overflowing trash cans... etc. etc.. probably can't get staff in this university town.? Really?!?! read more

Smallest burrito I've ever gotten at a Chipotle. So disappointing I ordered it for pick up I guess because you're not there present they skimp you out on all the ingredients. Paid 17 dollars for a taco bell burrito. read more

Poor management at its finest. it doesn't matter what time of day multiple items are always out(15 min for re-stock) constantly see disappointed online pick ups because multiple items were not added to their food. read more

Every single table both inside and out was dirty. We asked for someone to clean a table so we could eat and had to wait 5 minutes before one of the employees came out to clean a table for us. We said all the tables are dirty so he cleaned the ones on the outside but not the inside. Trash was all over the patio. I can't imagine what goes on in the kitchen. Will not eat there again. Btw it's always dirty. read more

This has got to be one of the worst chipotle restaurants I've ever been to. Despite many complaints about their lack of cleanliness, they have not addressed any of it. It's clear management does not care about fixing this location or they would have stepped in and made changes to the way they do business. The food is sometimes good, but varies widely and has little to no consistently. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Trash - Mexican Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Visited this restaurant at 7 pm on a Saturday night. The trash cans were overflowing the kitchen area filthy, drink machine empty. Not a clean table in the dining room. To top it off the food was cold! The corn salsa was still frozen! I wouldn't go back to any Chipotle in the near future. A strong manager is needed b read more

Literally horrible. Every time I come in here it's disgusting. Trashes need to be taken out. Drink station is covered in spilled drinks and straw wrappers. Dirty unwiped tables that have food crusted all over them. I always order the Kids Quesadillas and they are never fully cooked when i get them here. Cold cheese and a tortilla is what i'm left with. The staff can be nice but this past time there was a very rude girl working. She had very short blonde hair and worked at the register around 1pm today. The girl with the short blonde hair is rude and unwelcoming. She threw my chips in the bag and crunched them all up. She stuck her bare fingers in my drink cup as well and threw it in the bag. She also got annoyed when I asked if I could get the chips as well. I'm embarrassed for you guys. Don't come here read more

Third time I come in and they're missing an ingredient. Today they're out of mild salsa. It's always something. To make matters worse, I had to wait in line for 10 min only to find out they're out when I get tot the front. How hard is it to write a handwritten sign? read more

I order a kids quesadilla and she charged me for a large quesadilla which is double the price

Older woman lady manager was so mean to me. I ordered a kids quesadilla meal and asked a different worker if I could add on one more quesadilla. I was told I would be charged for a tortilla. The new guy working helping me with blonde hair was super nice and getting yelled at by the manager. The kids meal is legit 5 bucks and I was rang up by the manager and she told me my total was 15 dollars. I told her I was told I was getting charged for a side tortilla and that it's ridiculous the side small kids single quesadilla is 10 dollars when the meal with the same quesadilla and all the sides is 5. She told me I had to pay and that she told me it would be all that extra. We never spoke once ! Crazy mean lady. read more

A worrisome Chipotle. The garbage cans are always full and overflowing onto the floor. Constantly out of items. The chips are a toss up 50/50 of being completely stale. My main concern is how dirty and unsanitary the cooking and serving areas are. I've been a college student working in food/service so I get it how hard it can be to keep things up to standard especially when it's busy or you're understaffed. But this place is just another level of bad. It's food poisoning waiting to happen. I've stopped eating here because it's visibly dirty and the food quality is terrible in comparison to other chipotles. Avoid. read more

Each time we go, we think it is going to get better. Every time they are out of items on the menu. Today they were out of hard shell tacos and did not have black beans. We ordered a bowl and when we got home the bowl was only half full. Also the chips were stale. These things occurr each time we go. We go to other chipotle's in different areas and do not have these problems it is like whoever is running this store does not care. San Luis Obispo is a college town and maybe they feel they can get away with poor service. read more

Wow! I came here after reading the other reviews mostly because 1) I was craving chipotle & needed something quick and 2) I was lowkey curious to see if the other yelp reviews were realistic or dramatic. To my dismay, the comments were accurate!!! I was there for 23 mins - standing in a line most of the time. The line was out the door( except it was raining so everyone is cramming inside and lining the wall). I felt like I was at the DMV or an airport or something. I was shocked the line wasn't moving. It was like chaos back there and they were out of honey chicken. The workers do seem young. There few extra hard workers in the mix- like the guy with short brown hair. Yikes..... read more

This has got to be one of the worst run chipotle's. They are frequently out of multiple ingredients, even during the dinner rush times they will have one employee working the counter and cash register with a line out the door, and the dinning room and trash cans are a complete mess. I love Chipotle and it sucks having the only one in town be a complete disaster on most days. Do better. read more

This chipotle always has a line and never adjusts to the consistent long lines. The lines just don't move it's an automatic 30 minute wait any time. They are always out of meat and items. Also there is this really loud shift manager who, while perhaps cares about the store's efficiency, constantly is yelling at the other workers for their mistakes. As a customer waiting in line for 30 minutes, the last thing I want to hear is her constant demanding tone. read more

Chronically understaffed. Seriously, management, staff your store appropriately. Your poor staff seems stressed trying to accommodate the constant long line of people, and then can't attend to requests that come up like refilling the fountain beverages. I waited 25 minutes and asked multiple employees for a refill of limeade, a decidedly easy request. I don't blame the staff at all. They're doing a lot. I get you may be saving a buck on staffing this way, but it's at the cost of customers. Do better for your staff and customers. read more
