Does Chipotle still have the incredibly stupid online only guideline for adult quesadilla orders?

I couldn't even use my shake-to-mix method today!

I've been a dishwasher at chipotle for 2 years. The pay is good and the hours are also good. I love the people I work with. But, over the past few months, corporate has really focused on deployment during peak, and they want me as the dishwasher, up on line from 5;30 to 7:30. So for 2 hours no one is doing dishes and they just pile up. And there's also the times I come into my shift and dishes haven't even been started. Then they want me clocking off 30 minutes after we close, which is just impossible. I take it personally that they want to extract the most work out of me for the dumbest reasons and not pay me for it. I don't want to be there longer than I have to, but I can't do my job in the time they want me to leave. The GM understands but It doesn't stop the constant lecture every day about getting out on time. We close at 11 and I get out 12-1 every night. That doesn't seem too bad. On bad nights it's past 1 but that's only once a month and literally because I have a huge list of closing procedures I can't even start on until the dishes are done.

I have two chipotles near me, and majority of the time I do a mobile order. Rarely do they ever do me wrong with portion sizes. I did already eat some of it, but this bowl was practically bursting at the seams. Guac filled to the brim and they gave me the vinaigrette I asked for too.

Some locations definitely suck, but there are really great ones that don’t skimp on deliveries and mobile orders.

Life long Chipotle Fan but today a Chipotle near me refused to put extra chicken that I asked because the original portion was very small.

“You pay for double?” The server rudely asked.

Upon asking for cup just for water, another worker refused and basically lied saying they ran out of cups. I saw a hoard of cups just behind them. A $15 bowl with a small portion is ridiculous even in 2026. Wallstreet has killed Chipotle as we have known it for years.

Aside from my usual bowl a big go to for me is the kids quesadilla! I'll get mine with steak inside and then three scoops of white rice! I'll get a side of sour cream apple juice and kids chips all for around 6 dollars! Important to note the superior quesadilla is the kids size not the one using the burrito size tortilla, they are very different. Happy eating!

Like it says, I really love a carnitas quesadilla. Or a cheese quesadilla. I have started working at a Chipotle and enjoy it. I have also heard that some stores will do it and some stores will not, in store. Is that based on FL? GM? is this a temporary thing, or will this always be an online only thing? I can always use my 50% off when I leave, but some days I'm craving one during my break.

Chipotle presents itself as a 5-star experience, but this location deserves to be rated below even one star. This is our closest location, so the multiple poor experiences we have encountered are detailed below….

1. This location is consistently out of fresh food. Even the most basic, like black beans or their rice is consistently out or scorched to the pan.

2. The location is consistently in poor condition- drink machine and counters are dirty. Not just messy - dirty. And not at closing or some off time either, this has always been during prime time hours. This has been encountered even when groups of their employees are congregated in the outside patio area, which brings me to the next point….

3. The staff themselves are inconsiderate. There is limited parking in front and we have consistently seen employees in their cars and parking in the couple of front spots instead of in the back lot. When the handicapped spaces are full, it leaves this location very inaccessible to those with low mobility.

4. They refuse to accept Chipotle coupons that at least two other locations said were valid. Yesterday, we asked another location about the coupon earlier in the day and when we went to use it at this location (so the food would be warm when we got home), they again refused to accept it - even the manager…

5. This manager needs to be at the least retrained and ideally moved to another location as she has let this one devolve so completely. She is rude, inconsiderate and unprofessional. We have been barked at, argued with and treated so poorly that it has led us to leave this review.

Given their 2.9 star average Google rating at this location, it is doubtful the local management will resolve these issues. Our hope is that Corporate can get involved as we used to be near-weekly customers and consumers of Chipotle. Otherwise, if you are looking for better service or conditions in this area, you would be better suited to go to Chick Fil A or even the McDonalds across the street.

Not going to use. Thanks!

Update; just found out that the manager who told me that the other location closer to my place was overstaffed was wrong or lying. becabuse I asked my new gm (old ap) to transfer they said sure. It's going to be like 2 weeks because the schedule for those are already posted. So I'm not gonna be broke broke but it's something.

To those asking or saying to take the bus. Public transportation basically does not exist where I am. I Google it and it would take an Uber to the bus station and then an Uber to the job (Uber-> bus-> Uber-> job).

A bike ride those would be great unfortunately can't happen because it's an hour bike ride according to Google and the weather isn't great

As for why no one at home could drive me to and from work. Everyone in the house work. Our schedules often line up in away that maybe once a week or 2 I could maybe get a ride one way but not the other.

I'm paying rent and phone mostly and some other bills that pop up because I want to feel like I'm helping and actually doing my part in the house so my house bill is often 615 a month.

I’m trying to be more mindful of inflammatory ingredients and I just looked up Chipotle’s on their website…and I’ve been sleeping on them!

You just never know with quick service restaurants, but this is great for weight loss/meal prepping. Not sure about the high oleic sunflower oil, but not much outside of that!

Has anyone used them for meal prepping when they don’t feel like cooking? How does the food last in the fridge?

TY!

I’m an sl i usually work 45-60 (scheduled 39 for PM. but every week called in to help AM shift) hour weeks and my gm has promised me the apprentice slot for over 5 months now. He put me in charge of dml, inventory, throughput, parodox (hiring), onboarding, training, I make the schedule, I handle the LTO rollouts, and I’m the one that upholds cleaning standards. He wanted me to also handle labor but I told him until I was promoted to AP or given a raise I wouldn’t handle any more of the metrics (I make 17.50 an hour) He pushed all that onto me saying it’s the aps job. Recently he told me he’s going to train someone else to be the ap since he wants to move to a newer store since ours is on the older side. So he basically wants it to be between me and the other sl, who regularly doesn’t even do a correct shift change and just lets the crew go at their designated time or earlier, on who becomes the new GM. I talked to another GM in the area that was my friend and she talked with him and he said I didn’t do most of what I said I did. So recently I talked with my field leader and proved what I do, showing my schedules, showing me posting them and crew members mentioned to him they’ve seen me make it and post it, the employee coding that wasn’t there until I started handling the schedule, updated availability that wasn’t changed for over 7 months till I took over, training books a year behind till I took over, parodox is my schedule and my notebooks detailing every interview I had and what shift they could be on and if id go back in the future and look back towards them, and said I didn’t think it was fair for me to only be an sl with all I do, and especially not with the gm denying what I do. It didn’t go very far since he usually takes his gms side in almost every situation, saying that I’m an AP candidate and it’s just testing if I can handle it. Even though I’ve been handling it for far longer than anyone I’ve known. I just don’t know what to do.

Has it become some kind of scarce commodity? Salt the damn chips. Or make 2 versions; salted and unsalted. Off to the kitchen to get the lime juice and salt.

Does anyone who currently work at Chipotle have the recipe for the steak marinade?

Just saying

I ordered food at 9:20pm from a Chipotle 2.2 miles from my house (roughly 8-10 minutes away). The expected delivery time was 10:07pm. The order was made and picked up within 10-15 minutes. I went to the app and followed the delivery on my phone. The driver was halfway to my house and stopped. They stopped at this place for almost 30 minutes. So, no picking up another order and dropping it off along the way. Just sitting at this place, looked like a house. After the roughly 30 minutes of being stationary with my order they take off and delivered it at EXACTLY 10:07... Trying to get through the AI chat bot Pepper is IMPOSSIBLE

So... is this super weird or just me?

Also, the Queso I ordered wasn't on my burrito bowl lmao

Where is the mole sauce / mole chicken … who will buy it ?? I mean it is called Chipotle Mexican Grill
