I ordered pollo al pastor, but they informed me that it wasn't available, so I chose something else. Just as they were finishing up my condiments, a fresh batch of pollo al pastor came out. It was quite disappointing. I also ordered a plain barbacoa taco, but when they added the meat, they deliberately gave me less because I had mentioned earlier that they had said they were out of the meat I wanted, only for it to arrive moments later. The staff clearly didn't seem to care. I ended up returning the taco and had to settle for something I wasn't excited about. I won't be coming back.

Unfortunately, the meat lacked flavor, the lettuce was chopped carelessly into large pieces, and the steak was tough, with a significant portion being inedible. Maybe I’m overreacting, but I can’t help feeling really upset—especially since I had been looking forward to this meal all day after a tough day already. I'm sure Chipotle will survive without my business, but I definitely won’t go back and will be sure to share my thoughts on the quality of the meat, especially at the Gosford location.
