Chipotle Mexican Grill

This location is perfect for a quick lunch. I love the service! I love the food!
I am addicted to Chipotle! I will come back, always! It’s just too good!

Let’s start with this: I LOVE Chipotle! The quality of the food is great and it tastes delicious. However, this particular location is inefficient causing a constant long wait. If there are more than 3 people in line (which is almost always), I refuse to even enter. Food quality and taste is consistent with other locations, just not the service.

Pretty sure my wife and I caught some sort of norovirus/​stomach flu from here. We both had burrito bowls on ¹⁰⁄₁₅. Shortly after eating, we both started feeling nauseous, and were up all night vomiting and dry heaving.
If you have ever puked up Chipotle… It certainly isn’t the same tasty meal on the way back out.

Pretty tasty food and awesome guacamole; smooth and delicious. The hard shell tacos with chicken is my favorite with everything. Every time it tastes awesome. The Elmhurst location is amazing. I can’t wait when the New location opens on rt 83 and st Charles rd. That location is gonna be extremely busy as many people pass by that spot on a daily basis.

Apprently «a little» salsa to their incompentent burrito-​bowl fillers means dump an entire ladle on my food. Always order it on the side or they’ll mess up your lunch.

What can I say? It’s chipotle and it’s delicious. It’s a busy location so be prepared to take it home.

Elmhurst chipotle gets it right… like most chipotle’s. They understand what it takes to be a champion. However, there are a few things that makes the Elmhurst location the best. Service. Quality. Speed. Efficiency. None of these are a big surprise. But the staff here makes it. Perfection in guest service sets them apart. As does the very eccentric Jamie. Paints herself up like the lady from the «Drew Carey» show but hustles as hard as anyone I have ever scene in the restaurant business. Jaime makes you feel like Family every day. I don’t care if you are in the mood for sushi… or a burger and a beer… I recommend a taco for the lone reason you can meet the elmhurst staff that runs the local chiptle!!!

There’s not much I can comment on about Chipotle. Basically if you’ve eaten here you know it’s great. It always bothers me when people say that Chipotle is not that healthy, it’s high in calories, fat, carbs, etc. Let’s face it, if you don’t know that cheese and sour cream add a lot of fat, or that rice has a lot of carbs, you have no business commenting on diet. It’s probably easier to eat healthier here than at almost any other fast food restaurant. Make good choices people. Parking downtown Elmhurst is not easy. This location has a limited, but a nice, outside seating area.
As of this writing there are ninety-​six restaurants in Elmhurst. I plan on eating at, and reviewing, every one. Follow me on Unilocal

Normally I don’t care much for Chipotle, but my friends decided to go there to eat, and I had to tag along. I noticed right from the get go, as I was waiting in line, the girl who was taking the orders and preparing the food, was very sweet and kind. Her name is Kiarri, and I just wanted to point out that her customer service was just excellent. I went in with one attitude, and came out totally satisfied and happy that she was the one fulfilling my food order. I also work in the customer service industry and I know how difficult it can be to keep a smile on your face when you are just ready to go home. Thanks to Kiarri, I can now honestly say, when I come to Elmhurst to visit my friends, I won’t hesitate to swing by this Chipotle and grab a bite to eat.

Everyone was so nice!!! Most pleasant staff I have ever seen. It was kinda dirty, though… Could’ve used some cleaning up a bit, but over all it was a good experience!

Pleased with my visit and the staff was very friendly. The last two times I have stopped in (one month apart), the naturally raised beef have not been available. How long is the shortage going to persist? Is this going to be the norm?

Everyone is super nice and depending on who is working, they load you up with food on the burrito bowl. I wish it was bigger because their is often no place to sit … It’s always, always packed! Very consistent but the only pain in the behind is that they get behind with rice and chicken so you have to wait … But then you get the fresh stuff so I guess you win some and lose some.

Preparation of food is not up to Chipotle par level. Vegetables were way undercooked. Likewise the brown rice tonight. And allocation of guacamole was ½ spoonful, at most.
Seating area is spacious at this location. Although the centrally located single doorway made for constant arctic blasts every couple minutes.
Overall, not up to snuff.

Just had the steak bowl and I was not disappointed… I just wish they had more seating.

Dog sitting for one of my best friends here in Elmhurst and felt like some Americana… enter Chipolte Mexican Grill.
In high school I usually could put away 2 burritos stuffed with rice, beans, sour cream, corn salsa, and of course chicken because I was being healthy, right? Nowadays… I try to eat like a normal human being rather than someone who hasn’t seen food in three weeks.
I noticed two things (been a while since I have been to a Chipotle). They have salads which I was told differs from the burrito bowl because you get lettuce. You know what Jay Z said… more money more problems… more lettuce more roughage… right?
So some slices of lettuce are the difference between a bowl and a salad here at Chipotle. I got my salad with fajita vegetables, guacamole pinto and black beans. I went with carnitas. The second thing I noticed is that they now have tofu called sofritas. SO COOL! Ha! I got my sour cream on the side. Portion control, America.
This restaurant has really taken off ever since I was in high school in 2006-​07. I don’t eat there as much or even as much when I’m there… But it has always been a good option. You’re in an airport or on the go… you can grab a nutritious meal at Chipotle. Doesn’t mean you can get the flour tortilla, rice, guacamole, cheese and chips and salsa. Stick to the basics, friends.

Here’s to you, Ms. Chipotle Manager Lady.
So I went to the Elmhurst Chipotle today and ordered the quesarito. This is one of those Internet sensation foods that you read about, but aren’t technically on the menu. The girl at the tortilla station didn’t know what I was talking about, but the one next to her knew and explained it to her.
When it was all made I was at the cashier paying for it and they ended up charging me for a burrito and a quesadilla. I expected it to cost a bit more because it took more time and effort to prepare, but I mentioned that I was surprised that they rang it up that way since I was really only getting one food item. I wasn’t upset at all, just surprised. The cashier said, «Yeah, I know it seems strange. But we got an e-​mail about these from management and that’s how they want us to ring them up.»
No big deal, it is what it is. So I paid for it and sat down with my friend who was joining me for lunch. A few minutes later the manager came out.
«I’m really sorry we had to charge you so much for that. I told corporate I think we’re overcharging, but since it’s an off-​menu item we have to do what they say.»
«No problem, I wasn’t upset at all. I was just happy you were able to make it.»
Then she hands me this fancy foil-​embossed holographic card and says, «This is good for a burrito next time you come in, on us.»
That was nice, wasn’t it? Totally nice.
So I ate my quesarito all happily. It was okay, a lot more fall-​aparty than their burritos, but all-​in-​all not that impressive. I was happy I’d tried it, like when you see a weird specialty item at a burger place that you have to try, knowing you won’t want to have it every time you go.
And then, as I took my second-​to-​last bite, I pulled out a long, brown hair from my mouth.
So there’s that.
I didn’t mention it, still embarrassed by the manager’s super-​kind gesture, I wasn’t about to complain about a hair in my food. But my friend insisted, so I promised that I’d call them later, which I did.
Once again, the manager was super friendly and apologetic. I told her I just wanted her to know, I didn’t want a replacement or anything. I also didn’t mention that I was the one she already gave that Burrito Fast Pass card to.
I just wanted to write this review to show people that I think she’s doing an awesome job. Every time I visit she’s out there helping clean up, or take orders, or prepare food. I appreciate that. Thank you, Ms. Chipotle Manager Lady. Today I salute you.
Ms. Chipotle Manager, Ladaaay!

I love Chipotle and this one is pretty much like most of the others. Tasty, big portions served fast and hot. My only real complaint is that the management at this Chipotle does nothing about the crowds of kids that hang out here. Particularly on weekends, crowds of kids occupy the seating here and hang out yet almost never order anything except an occasional drink. They aren’t here to eat, just socialize. I realize the restaurant is facing the town square where the kids hang out and skateboard but a lot of people walk here from nearby businesses and its always a gametime decision to eat in or carry out, based on whether or not the kids have left any free tables in the restaurant. I don’t like carrying out my food on a cold day; how about keeping the teens to a minimum so the paying customers can sit down and eat?

This is the best Chipotle I have been too, and I go to quite a few! The service is fast and friendly. Jamie is great, she always checks me out with a smile and remembers my order! Love them there.
And I know this is a chain, but the food is good there, never had a bad bowl, hard rice or beans. I have been to others and the friendliness of the staff is great. I have never had an issue, but I have seen them really willing to accommodate a customer with special issue or request!
Thanks guys!

What that ANOTHER Kyle B Chipotle review?
Yes I’m a Chipotle addict and no I have no intention of stopping and have no remorse for said addiction. Chipotle addict for life.
Anyway this one is standard. Exactly what you expect exactly how you expect it.
Only good or bad part that particularly stuck out was the cashier having to be tracked down for me to pay.
Not a long delay but longer than I want when grabbing fast food.
That said I don’t dock them much for that as it seemed the cashier was simply attending to other responsibilities.
If I’m ever in the area again when a burrito bowl itch strikes I’ll surely return.
Burrito on my friends!

It’s the same food you’d get at any Chipotle, but left a sour taste in my mouth due to the staff. They got my order wrong IN FRONT OF ME and when I said «wait, no, I can’t have sour cream, I’m lactose intolerant.» They challenged me that I’d still have to pay for it.
Seriously?
I said NO CHEESE NO SOUR CREAM to their face. On a faxed order, I can see how things could get mixed up, but in person?
Spend your money at Qdoba on St. Charles. Their staff is much more tuned in and friendlier.
