Chipotle Mexican Grill

Staff is nice enough. Recommend going in for lunch as they seem to be out of at least one type of meat around 5−7pm.

This is my go-​to chipotle in South Austin. The food quality is always consistent. The service is always speedy and the employees are very friendly. The parking lot can be a bit of a cluster during busy times, but other that everything is just fine.

I’ve always liked Chipotle. I know they’re getting a lot of heat lately about food safety, but really, many local restaurants have the same issues. What I like about Chipotle is that everyone in the family can get exactly what they want, and it’s affordable. Even in Austin, with all the great local Mexican food options available, I find myself favoring Chipotle because the food is great and everyone can customize their dish exactly how they like it.
Now if they can just work on their food safety issue…

Lewis was fantastic. Built our burritos to perfection. Super helpful and excellent customer service, will definitely come here more often! No other location has had such great service. Highly recommend!

I love Chipotle! I had a delicious veggie bowl with guac on the side and kids chips. This is my regular order and today’s lunch was good as usual. This location gets 4 starts because parking there is a mess during lunch time and the seats are super shallow and weird. Otherwise, the food is good. A better location for comfort and parking is Stassney, but if you are on SOLA this will work!

Due to a minor lapse with food being ready at the time of checkout, I was given a free soda with my meal and I only waited a couple minutes! Way to show great customer service… this was my first time at any Chipotle and I will definitely be returning. The food was delicious, but it’s the service that is bringing me back, thanks!

The favorite thing I love about Chipotle is their famous guacamole! I also love the way they treat their customers. When we went here they gave us free drinks! Their service is always great!

Staff is always so nice! We always think they should add a tip line on credit receipts :)

This is my favorite location to go to. I’ve been to the one on Stassney and Brodie but this is by far the best location. Their food is so flavorful. From the chicken to the corn and even the bell peppers. Everything just has flavor. The other locations either taste burnt or have no flavor. I love coming here. Though they are pretty stingy and skimp on the portions. I once saw a worker barely put any rice on the man’s burrito and he had to ask for more and the guy scooped yet again only a little. I’ve had to ask for more scoops of rice also. It’s like jeez quit being so stingy and just give the customers more. We are giving you our money so the least you could is give us good hearty portions.

This place is consistent, which is really good. Fernando just provided the best service I’ve ever had at Chipotle before (my order was messed up). If I were them, I’d have him oversee service at all the locations around. He’s a stellar example of providing good service and making things right for the consumer.

This chipotle has always been a little lower in quality than the other location, but it’s still amazing. I always get a chicken burrito. The employees are very nice but most times I come to this location my burrito either unravels or rips. Still will come back though.

It’s fast food with a healthy bent, served in an assembly line like all Chipotle restaurants.
If you need to grab something quickly and take it back to work, this place fits the bill. The dining room is tiny and very plainly decorated, unlike some of their other locations, but if you end up eating there, you can face the street and people watch through the giant picture windows that front the store.
The parking lot is about average size and fills up quickly during rush dining hours, so plan accordingly. Send your lunch order with that nice guy in the next cubicle or carpool.

Standard Chipotle… my reliable go to for lunch when I’m indecisive. I like their burrito bowls… its a huge serving though and they’ll even give you a tortilla on the side. It’s conveniently located and has a decent sized parking lot.

This fast-​food restaurant is a terrible addition to the neighborhood. There are better places to get a burrito within two minutes traveling in any direction, but the poor sadsacks who eat here are too lazy to do that. In fact, they’re so lazy that they literally park on the sidewalk, completely obstructing pedestrian traffic. Management has been informed of this multiple times, but no change has been made.

Amazing service! Super nice staff! Love the food! I forgot my wallet at home and the manager was so nice he gave me my food for free. I’m definitely coming back!

Chipotle is for people who want to feel good about the 1200 calorie bomb they just consumed.
I like that they try to always use organic ingredients and that they use more naturally raised meat than any other food chain, because I care about my environmental foot print. Chipotle is still fast food, though, and the portions are ridiculous. I don’t care if you eat the whole thing in one sitting. America is known for its incredible feats of food consumption and I don’t expect this to be any different. All I’m saying is that if you put away an entire Chipotle burrito for lunch, maybe you need to eat just a light dinner.
This location is decent, the parking lot is reasonably sized, and they don’t seem to be stingy with the food — although it would be better for most people’s waist lines if they were. My burrito bowl had a reasonable amount of each selection and no single flavor overpowered any other with each bite. I usually eat half for lunch and the other half for dinner and half of my bowl keeps me full all day long. The good kind of full — not that uncomfortable kind of full you might get after eating a huge grease bomb of fast food.
Oh, and if you pronounce it Chipol-​tay instead of Chipoat-​lay, you deserve all the derision that will inevitably come your way.

As an avid chipotle lover, I find that this location is pretty much always slow and bogged down with mediocre service, but due to the location, I keep coming back.
But today, on a random Sunday that is not a national holiday they decided to throw a christmas party and be closed at 8:30 when the hours SHOULD be open until 10. I’m all for the Holiday spirit and keeping your employees happy but deciding to forego the store’s actual hours and let people continue to waste their time driving to a closed establishment is a bit inconsiderate.
There’s a Freebirds down the street that has better, faster service and reliable hours plus the food’s damn good — would recommend going there instead.

I’m a big chipotle fan so it hurts to give it two stars. This location is so STINGY. I came back three times hoping it was just a specific employee problem but it must be management/​training directive. They give you half a bowl… and then roll their eyes when you ask politely for more. Dude gave me attitude about another scoop of rice.

Dear Chipotle,
I like you.
You make vegan fast food possible. Your cilantro lime rice, black beans, fajita veggies, pico, corn relish, lettuce, and guacamole — all jammed up in flour tortillas make for a tasty meal (or three). And you do make wicked tasty guacamole. And those damn tortilla chips are so good, that I want to punch you in your burrito making faces.
All the kids that work at this new place are awesome. I want to hug them all after they make food. I want to be friends with them in real life. Especially that cashier guy that is always smiling. Why are you always smiling, cashier guy? I’m so curious.
I can swing by and see you, after I get off work from cooking all day, and then you cook for my offspring, because I’m a bad person, and would make them eat cereal, ice cream, and a carrot for dinner. But they don’t mind, the Vegan Littles love you, too.
Thanks for helping me be lazy, Chipotle.
Love,
Jenny Lorraine.
