Chipotle Mexican Grill

I come here occassionally because it is near one of my jobs. (Jobs I’m poor and need multiple to afford living in NYC) Chipotle is what it is. Same taste at each of their gazillion locations in the city. I always get the burrito bowl it’s good and stuffed with toppings just like us Americans like it. Guacamole is good as well and their chips I like their crunchy chips. Fast, tasty, but I think a little expensive for what it’s worth. But when you work in the times square area there aren’t many options to have time to eat on your 15min lunch break. (15min I’m exploited I know, but I need to afford living in NYC)

Grabbed a few burritos with my daughter to head over to Bryant Park with… was really unimpressed… it’s just a burrito. Nothing super special. My daughter had told me about this chain because there was one by her college campus, and I’ve always seen them (for various reasons) on the news, and for some reason I thought I was going to love this highly acclaimed Mexican fast food, because I’m a true burrito lover. After waiting on the long line out the door, I was pumped up for this… bad mistake. It was a step above a Taco Bell item, but no where next to the quality and taste of Moe’s Southwest Grill burritos. Talked up way too much… it’s just a burrito!

Was in the mood for chipotle until I walked in and saw black bugs all over the walls. This is repulsive. Do not eat here. Look at the photos here to see.

My go 2 place 4 thot food primarily because they are right by the job. Hate the rushhh lunch hour so i try not 2 go unless my cravings are strong. They get stingy with everything so just be ready 2 say please sir can i have more lol. But if u ate at 1 location u basically ate at all of em. The food is the same

So delicious food! Amazing employees. They work so fast, I enjoy in a this place. The best location to get amazing food!
Thank you!

I love this place and always will! Best burritos around, I don’t care what anyone says. The recent news stories about Chipotle poisoning people doesn’t scare me and just makes me crave them more.
I went to high school in Denver and went to chipotle every other day before they went national. I still frequent Chipotle here in NYC and I can honestly say the taste and menu has not been compromised at all since franchising.
I work on 50^th and Broadway and generally frequent the Chipotle on 52^nd and 8^th but it was closed for renovations so we went to this location. Line was pretty long but went incredibly fast. … On the road… Will finish this review later…

They put as half as meet that other places do and the Steak tasted like fat.
Will never come back here.

Is chipotle getting desperate for money or what… I had a bad experience, not because of the location because of the Chipotle brand. I tried ordering a quesorito (which I’ve been getting for years) and was told it would be $ 2 extra… Mind you, I’m a respectful customer and only order this when it’s not busy because it takes like 30 – 40 extra seconds to heat the cheese up on the tortilla grill. How can I be charged $ 2 extra for something that’s included in the total of the food I’m ordering. I know Chipotle had a rough quarter (not my fault) but don’t take it out on loyal customers who have been eating there for years as well as still ate at the restaurant when no one else would. Extremely Dissatisfied… $ 2 for cheese being heated up… what a joke

If I were you spend your money shorting the stock instead of eating at chipotle. This company is all down hill from here. After the quality issue the food taste like shit. Instead of correcting the problem the company put in a quick fix. All food now get soaked in a saline bath to kill all the bacteria. The food is so salty that you can’t even taste anything after you finish the meal. This is the last chipotle meal for me, it was good while it lasted. Another business gets run down the drain due to mismanagement.

I’ve been coming to this location regularly for 6+ years but I’m done after three consecutive bad experiences. They seem understaffed and undermanaged. Each time, basic items (chicken, white rice etc) have not been ready and have taken 10 – 15 minutes. Today I joined a line of four people all waiting for various items to complete our orders. Last time, they ran out of chips and I was offered a paper cup for (free) water in consolation.
I’m done.

The best run Chipotle in the Rock center/​midtown area. Yes it always has long lines, but you know they have an APP for that?! Just order via app or online and go straight to their pickup window. You’ll be in and out in 4 minutes flat.
The staff here are also pretty friendly and seem to enjoy working there. That’s a plus considering you can please & thank-​you yourself to death in 99% of the other «lunch joints» nearby and you’d be lucky to get a smile let alone a «you’re welcome».

I’m a big fan of Chipotle, use to go once or twice per week to another location on 45^th street where the service is always excellent.
I had to go to this one today because the other one was closed due to Columbus day…
Online order (iphone) scheduled at 1pm, we were 20 – 25 people waiting for 30minutes to get our order. When I asked for a manager, a person, supposedly the manager, started to give many excuses because they were inefficient.
She was disrespectful and showed me the other customers waiting telling me that they were not complaining.
The only reason why I didn’t leave the store was because the meal was already paid.
The food was good as usual but cold.
I can tell this restaurant is the less efficient and most noisy Chipotle place in the city.
Keep enjoying your food but not at this place!

Dude, f*** a Chipotle.
Second-​worst burrito I’ve ever had in my life, the worst being from a take-​out counter in an airport in Atlanta, I think. Why people I like and respect speak so highly of this flavorless, barely-​warm mush slopped at a Chipotle counter, I haven’t a clue. I’d say something about being served by surly teenagers, but having been a teenager with a dumb job at one point, I really can’t blame them for being displeased about working at a Chipotle in Midtown. I don’t know; why don’t you go somewhere real and get a real burrito? It’ll probably be cheaper than a Chipotle. Jeez. I am reviewing a Chipotle in Midtown on Unilocal,and I don’t know why. This is completely ridiculous. The hell am I doing with my life? Grown-​ass man complaining about a Chipotle on the internet.

I came here for lunch during my break at work. Like all the typical fast food restaurant nothing special. The restaurant is decent and quite clean. The line is long if you’re coming for lunch. Expect to wait in line for 10 – 15 minutes.

Long lines but goes fast with the service during rush hour. I just saw a lady take a whole stack of tissues. Good solid food. Speak up!

It was alright. I came in half an hr or 45 mins til’ close and they straight up ignored my existence for a good minute. I got glances from all three or four workers, who btw was having a wonderful conversation about whatever, until one decided to grace me with service.
I can relate being a server n’ all and knowing the feeling of being done but not quite… but i wasnt a server at that moment, i was a hungry costumer who wanted chipotle.
Chile. When the girl finally got to me, she was speeding through the bar, whippin’ and tossin’ and slidin’ it. I just looked at my bowl, lettuce flung all over the tray. Sigh. It tasted good, but it was missing heart. Smh

What is with the children sized portions? A skinny girl ahead of me got man size meat. I am insulted and waited on line for 15mins just to get this micro size meal.

I love the Chipotle chain. There’s nothing more filling than a burrito with some chips. However, of all the Chipotle restaurants I’ve gone to, this one was the worst. I went here twice before writing my review to make sure it wasn’t just a bad day for the workers. The first time, my burrito was rolled so bad, halfway through eating my burrito, everything spilled out. The second time, the worker ripped my burrito while rolling it. Another problem was the level of stinginess. I’m paying 10 $ for my burrito which means my burrito should be worth 10 $. However, when putting the rice, the worker put HALF a spatula of rice on my burrito and moved it forward. I had to ask for more rice twice. Then the meat was the same thing. I could count the pieces of meat on my burrito. Like that should say something? I was astounded on the level of stinginess considering a lot of other Chipotle restaurants give huge servings of whatever. The only pro I can think of was good seating and refillable soda. Service, quality, and personal satisfaction from two visits were horrible. I would definitely recommend just going to another Chipotle chain if you really want a burrito or such.
For those wondering about menu and foods served, there’s a choice of bowl or burrito. Then you can choose white rice or brown rice, pinto beans or black beans, and choice of meat. This Chipotle was out of pork (carnitas) both times I went. Then you can choose a mild, med, or spicy sauce as well as corn, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, and /​or guacamole. They also have a veggie option for all the vegetarians out there. :)

Quite near Times Square, this Chipotle brings the same safe fresh Mexican-​American as any other Chipotle in the country. I love how the description of the veggies say they *contain* organic vegetables. For those wordsmiths in the audience, this means they are not actually organic but they might have one organic corn kernel in the mix. Even still, it’s pretty tasty when you throw in some hot sauce!
Enjoy!

I grab lunch to go from here about once a week or once every two weeks. It’s good, reliable, and quick… it’s a Chipotle.
During the week you will find a HUGE line from about noon until 1:30-ish but they do a pretty good job of moving people thorugh at a steady clip. They are definately fast and the error rate is usually pretty low.
Like I said, this is a once a week or once every other week stop and will remain so giong forward.
