The restaurant is always messy, and while I understand it gets busy, it's unacceptable to find dirty tables and counters every time I visit. The lemonades are frequently empty, and my burrito bowls are consistently only half filled when I order them. I would prefer to dine in rather than order online, but often this location only allows online orders, which makes no sense at all. If it’s busy, it should be the opposite. My most recent order took about 40 minutes to prepare, the bowl was only half full, and the chicken was completely cold. I recommend saving your money and going to Qdoba instead. I will not be returning to this place.

I haven't been to a Chipotle in over 20 years (in The Twin Cities area) and I remembered the food and service being pretty good. But, my experience last night...ugh! First, therewas absolutely no personality or energy behind the counter. Staff didn't talk to customers or each other. No banter, justexpressionless faces. Everyone looked like they had someplace better to be. Second, the kitchen, in plain view, was a mess. Notjust a mess from a busy shift (dishes were piled high on prep table), but the stove/oven looked like it hadn't been cleaned formonths. Third, portion sizes were teeny (my bowl was about half full) and the bill for two people came to $35!! Fourth, the foodjust really wasn't all that great. The steak was barely warm, dry, and tough. Not a lot of flavor (guajillo, garlic, or lime).The corn was frozen.

If you decide to go, make sure to watch them prepare your order or consider going to Q'Doba instead!

It took me 10 minutes to figure it out, and then I ended up waiting another 20 minutes for my order because they were so behind. This place is incredibly dirty; there was food all over every counter. The guy preparing the orders had piles of food sitting between the pans, more than an inch high. Then he grabbed a wet towel and tried to scrape it all into the trash can. Unfortunately, those scraps were just falling back into the pans, mixing old food with everything. They claim to be understaffed, but cleanliness should always be a top priority. I would have canceled my order if I’d known how. It was just so disgusting.

No veggies, they were out of onions and green peppers. Wow! The meat was not fresh. Icould go on. Terrible place.
