Very disappointing experience on Friday, May 22. When we walked in, the restaurant was a complete mess. There were multiple dirty tables throughout the dining area and the garbage bins were overflowing, making the place feel neglected and unclean. When we got to the front to order around 9:15 PM, we were told there was no white rice, no chicken, no guacamole, no lettuce, and no sour cream. Considering the restaurant closes at 11:00 PM, it was frustrating to see so many basic items unavailable almost two hours before closing. On top of that, it felt like the staff seemed annoyed that we even walked in. I understand restaurants can have busy nights and run out of items occasionally, but the overall cleanliness, lack of preparation, and customer service made for a really poor experience. read more

I stopped in at lunchtime to get a bowl with the honey chipotle chicken. It took a minute or two for the line to move, as a couple of staff were running back and forth taking orders and moving some stuff around. When I ordered, the guy that took my order looked at the line, saw there was no honey chipotle chicken, heaved an exasperated sigh and without saying anything grabbed the regular chicken, dumped half of it into a second metal container, mixed in a powder, tossed it a bit, then came back and made a bowl with it. What I got was sandy and dry chicken, which I ate about half of before pitching the rest. Between that and the "hasn't been thoroughly cleaned" feel of the dining area, I am in no rush to go back to this location. read more

Rice super uncooked and crunchy The sad part is I already dumped it into a bowl and the rice is allll mixed in so it's basically inedible :(( read more

I've never had an issue here till today... When the older gentleman serving food around 12:30 asked me how much I wanted each and every scoop. First he scooped half a spoon of rice into the bowl and looked at me and said is this enough? I just kind of looked at him... because I've never been asked that question at Chipotle. I thought they had like a standard amount. He continued to ask me "is this enough?" with EVERYTHING I asked for... I was so uncomfortable and didn't know what to say. Chipotle, should my order have been less since I only received a half scoop of everything in my bowl? Because, 12.50 was STUPID! I don't know if he was being condescending or not but it was extremely uncomfortable. read more

Service is lacking. Placed an order online and was notified that the order was ready and in one (1) bag on the shelf. Entered the building to no bag on the shelf. Went to the counter to enquire about the order and had to finally grab someone's attention because not one employee asked me if I needed assistance to be told that no such order existed even after showing them my order on the app. Had to wait for the other orders to be made before my problem was addressed and then had to show someone the order on their screen to be told it was given to someone else. Had to wait for them to finish every other order before mine was remade. Got home to find every order wrong and items missing from the original order. read more

Sometimes I just crave a chipotle bowl. And sometimes it is a hit or miss for me. It all depends on the time and day you go with these types of restaurants. I must went on a good day because my to go order was packed with food. I got a adobo chicken bowl. The employee that handle my food was nice and made sure I get those full scoops. Didn't need to ask for extra. I was please with the meal I got. Hope it's like this the next time I get a craving! read more

This place doesn't even deserve a star. Horrible service! They never have fresh food and always seem bothered to do their job. I would suggest going down the road to Pancheros. read more

No chicken, no cheese, no corn, no peppers and onions, no dressing. They basically never have anything and only care about online orders. When they first opened it was great. They hook you then fall off. The manager is unreachable and obviously doesn't care. Shame on you. read more

I'm fucking pissed, after a long day of school, the gym, and practice all i wanted were some goddam black beans, so i get them, and they are burnt from the bottom of the pan, hard and fucking nasty as fuck read more

Food tasted great actually! But will wait 4 hours to give the final report on that because the place is filthy and who knows what contamination may have occurred. The trash cans were overflowing, tables covered with food remains, glass doors so dirty you can't see through. Website orders aren't being brought out to the shelf but you have to go request them. I didn't know and sat there for 5 minutes looking at the empty shelf wondering where my order was as it was 15 minutes past the promised time - it was sitting on the carry out counter! When I tried to check the sticker on it the worker lady very rudely told me to "back off"! And to think I gave them a 20% tip... even if I don't end up with a food poisoning- never again! read more

Went here with my daughter last night and was nervous after reading the reviews. Fortunately, we had a great experience. Everyone was friendly and patient. We ordered for ourselves, as well as 2 other members of our family. It was clean and everything was fresh and delicious. Can't wait to go back. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Steak bowl. Delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Wallingford, Connecticut

I don't usually write reviews, but this experience was disappointing. Despite only two small families ahead of me, I waited about 30 minutes. The staff seemed very overwhelmed and were passive-aggressive with each other and blunt with customers. By the time I ordered, they were out of several items. While I understand being understaffed, the manager didn't even seem to bother to help them. At checkout, the employee dropped an F-bomb after forgetting my order, which I found unprofessional, and rolled his eyes when I paid with a $50, responding dismissively when I offered another way to pay. Overall, the environment felt tense and unpleasant, and it seems consistently miserable there. read more

Went today & while the food is palatable, the restaurant is absolutely disgusting. Food was everywhere...on the tables, floor, the counter tops. As a nurse, this is unacceptable when the public is being served & expect a clean store. I've seen other reviews that were made several months back & the same observation was made...unsanitary, dirty. If I could give a zero i would. But the food is good. Hopefully, the owner/manager will educate their staff on how imperative it is to provide a clean, sanitary restaurant.​ To the owner that read my review, I went to the website & lodged my complaint. A responsible, accountable manager/owner would take the reviews seriously & try to resolve those issues & not say, go to this website to complain in a nutshell read more

Place is disgusting. Food all over tables and the floor, windows are dirty with finger prints. Employees all on phones even when taking orders. One of them was sitting in the counter. Drinks all empty, no sauce, no forks or knives. Don't even want to know how bad the back is. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Sums up the whole place - Mexican Near Me - Wallingford, Connecticut

I don't often go to Chipotle, but was a regular customer several years ago when I was living in another state in MidWest. I don't know if their quality has gone down all over or if it's a Connecticut thing, all the Chipotles here I tried are equally disappointing. I craved for a burrito bowl from Chipotle recently and review of all the locations around kind of scared me, anyway I decided to try it. It turned out to be one of the worst burrito bowls I ever tried. The rice was totally underooked, the beans and veggies were not great either, I think I won't be craving for Chipotle anytime soon. read more

The staff was awesome. They were pleasant and patient with my disabled sister. Food was great. Definitely will be going back. Thank you to the staff that was there today 8/20/25 at 3:30pm. read more

They are always out of major ingrediants. Place is dirty Worst chipolte i have ever been too. I refuse to go back. Dont go here!! read more

This place does not worth to even giving a star. Horrible customer service, it seems the staff is under motivated or low paid or just don't know how to serve. Discussing how they manage the food, very dirty and when I asked about sauce part of the staff didn't care and the rest was looking at the phone. Manager should be on the floor to controls these kids that manipulate food. Also, when I try to pay cash they said only exact change, then they don't accept cash or they try to keep the change. So lazy to even operate as a cashier. Never come back, sorry for the brand. read more

I've tried this chipotle three different times in the past year. Two out of three times the rice was undercooked and crunchy. The corn salsa did not taste fresh and seemed to be a different recipe than other locations. There was no cilantro in the rice or the corn salsa. The chips were soggy. Won't be going back. read more

Extremely unsanitary environment. I watched the gentleman wiping the prep area run the rag across my tortilla. The he said "whoops" and continued to try and wrap it up. When I asked him to remake it I was met with attitude. Then the trash barrels were overflowing onto the found and every seated area was covered in filth. What is going on here? read more

The reviews on Yelp are terrible. Until last week, I didn't understand the ratings and comments because I had always had great experiences. About two weeks ago the location was out of white rice and carnitas. Yesterday, they were out of vegetables/fajitas and didn't have any forks for me to eat my bowl with. The white rice was awful, made with way too much lime and salt, almost inedible. Even worse was the attitude of the young lady at the register, who, when I asked how I should eat my bowl, responded; "I didn't place the order for them...". My prior 4 star review on Yelp has now been updated based on my last two visits. I made management and corporate aware of my experiences. read more

Just when I didn't think I could be even more disappointed by a chipotle I went to this location. They skimped so much on the food, there was barely any food. Shrinkflation is really bad here read more

Terrible Customer Service, forever running out of food items, and tends to overcook the food. Even if there's no line the conversation that the workers are having amongst themselves are more important than the CUSTOMERS!!! Either go to another Chipotle or go next door to Chick-fil-la at least they give a damn. read more

I I've never left a review of a restaurant before bad or good but this awful place deserves one. Lived in Wallingford for some time now, used to come here all the time never had any issues. Past year that's changed. I had 8-10 orders consistently messed up in a row and some terrible in store experiences before I called it enough. They put together some of the worst looking bowls I've ever seen now, on top of that the management and staff is some of the worst I've seen as well. They constantly are out of something, the staff acts like you are the worst person ever for asking for your order, they blast loud music with swearing which I don't care about, but that can't be great with little kids around? The food tastes awful, chicken seems either undercooked or overcooked, and did I mention how rude the staff is? Management clearly doesn't care, it feels more like a frat house than a restaurant. It's a shame because every time I pass the place now it's still pretty packed so I'm sure management doesn't care about any of these reviews but please if you're thinking of coming here, don't. Go to pancheros down the road instead. 10x better. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Whoever's running this place needs to figure it out, I hope you actually read this although I doubt it. It's embarrassing. read more

Do not order for pick up, this location will scam you. I ordered carnitas with double meat for pickup got literally a 1 oz piece. Every pick up order burritos are significantly smaller than if built in the restaurant. Just avoid this location is terrible. read more

Zero stars! Easily and by FAR the worst Chipotle in existence. (Plus Pancheros down the road does it better for half price) These brats will ask you several times what you want, you still won't get it. They'll put their ice cold 'queso' on 9 out of 10 times and charge you a dollar, whether you like it or not. Half filled burritos with a pinch of protein leaking cold greasy juice everywhere. Disgraceful, the youth of today. The companies with management that respondeds to tons of reviews with lame lip service (Like this one), but will never change the experience are the ABSOLUTE WORST!! Stuff your sorries in a sack, Chipotle 'Business customer service' read more

So upset with the service. I went there the other day, and I was excited because it wasn't very crowded. After making my bowl, I took out a $20 bill to pay with. The server told me that they did not have exact change to give back to customers. I was a little confused by this because I would assume that fast food chains would normally keep change on them. I only had this $20 bill with me, so I couldn't pay because I wouldn't get my change back. When I say exact change, I mean that the person working told me that there were no $1,$5,$10 bills to give me. So, I was forced to throw away my bowl, as I couldn't pay for it. I'm so disappointed with this service and I will not be going here anymore because the quality has gone down significantly. read more

This chipotle is not worth coming to. Go every day and they legit never have any meat or rice prepared. Have to wait 15 minutes for the meat to be cooked. The staff is also rude. Even still we come to this location hoping it will get better and it never does. Dont waste your time. read more

imagine bitting your burrito and finding an avocado seed. I also ordered a cheese quesadilla and it looked like it was done 3 hours earlier/ Then I walked into the store and there's no manager to talk to or an associate to complain about it. the store looked all dirty and the tables were full of droppings. It is for sure the last time they get my money. read more

Honeslty the most disappointing and dissatisfactory chipotle I have ever been to. They're out of something usually rice, and when they do have rice it's undercooked. The service is unnecessarily slow, the workers joke around instead of serving you food. Do not come here it is not worth the money. Plus the store is also really dirty the ambiance is shit. read more

I would never be back to this establishment ever again. The way I was disrespected verbally assaulted in front of my 5 year old son is absolutely disgusting. I've even contacted corporate twice in two days about the situation and I haven't received a callback which shows they don't stand or care for the customers Norval, you their safety, when it comes to their employees verbally, threatening. Customers I was told by an employee that he would smack the shit out of me and called me a bitch and clearly nothing was done about it the same day the situation happened the same day I made my report to corporate and nothing. this is disgusting behavior. I don't know who runs this establishment but they should be put out of business because it's disgusting how they handle complaints such as this level which is extreme if you ask me... I will consistently keep reaching out to corporate because they will do something about this. This is disgusting and their behavior on how they're taking this matter up is disgusting because they haven't done anything nor have I received a call or reach out or a concern that they know of the situation.! read more

Checked out and was charged incorrectly for both items. Went back to get refund as over charged and the cashiers was incompetent and hostile. Said well I rang in different items but same price. Nope. What we got was $2 cheaper. She said it is only $2!!! We said yeah we want our money. Took FOREVER for her to process and she was rude and never said sorry or my mistake. Unacceptable and management should address. How dare she react like it was not an issue. Would they charge $2 less if I asked????? read more

Employees are very unprofessional, and very often having tons of ingredients run out. One time we weren't informed, our bowl was just sour cream and steak. Management, which is also bad, didn't even offer an apology. It took a while to get a refund I will keep going because the food is so good (when it comes out right) but this location is not the best read more

This location is poorly staffed and never has fresh ingredient. most times they don't have what you want.

Terrible service. Out of peppers and onions. Rude people and terrible customer service. Would not ever recommend this place in Wallingford to anyone. Do Not ENTER!!! read more

I will not eat at any Chipotle again. Bad service, always running out of items and always dirty. I loved chipotle when they opened but has gone down hill fast! Hire better help and CLEAN!!! read more

Samet & Adithya are outstanding!! A true feather in the cap of the Chipotle model. I drive completely out of my way to this specific location, because I can count on getting my food done correctly, made with care, wrapped correctly and not slapped together like other locations in CT. It matters if food is prepared to please the eyes, and it always does, and the taste is always on point. It is also nice that you're greeted with a smile and well mannered people who treat you with respect too. Samet & Adithya are consistently great, as is Lisette. They are the reason my family and I take the trip here. They deserve the recognition, as other Chipotle locations pale in comparison!! read more

That was literally the worst Chipotle I've ever been to. There were 2 customers ahead of me when I came in to order, but I stood waiting in line for around 20 minutes. The staff were all unfriendly with low energy. The store was filthy and there wasn't a single seat without food scraps on it. They were out of fajita veggies, chicken, lettuce, and guac, and nobody seemed to want to cook any more for the night. Just awful. Skip this Chipotle and go somewhere else! read more

This Chipotle didn't have RICE, THE MAIN INGREDIENT IN ALL MEXICAN FOODS! Employees were super nice though. Chipotle is Chipotle, and that's good food. read more
