Chipotle Mexican Grill

Always yummy and never fails to satisfy my palette. Sometimes however the meats are cold. Love their guac though!

Best chipotle I have been to, the food was absolutely amazing every time I have been since last summer. The staff is so polite, friendly, always smiling and goes down the line extremely fast. I have brought friends and converted them over to this location. I have never not been happy with my meal and always return happy to see the staff in a great mood.

This location is awesome, not only are the burritos on point. The staff & service is pretty out standing. I’ve been to this location multiple times. And I’m always blown away with how friendly the staff are.

Not as good as the Yonge and Dundas location, but if I didn’t know any better, this would be a four star review. Place was a ghost town on a Saturday at lunch time, which I guess is par for the course for the entire Stockyards complex. But it makes me question how fresh the ingredients are…
The food was decent, but they were super chincy on the toppings. Can’t you bitches see I’m eating for two?! I feel like such a fat ass asking for extra everything, but if you don’t, your bowl would be all rice.
Also, the same employee who assembled my bowl tried charging me for guacamole when I didn’t get any. Seriously, how inattentive can you be? You JUST made my bowl like, 5 seconds ago!

I can’t believe I didn’t give this location a chance earlier based on reading the low ratings. I love Chipotle and up until yesterday my favourite location was Don Mills and as of today, tadaaaa, it’s this location.
I can’t say enough great things about this location. My husband got take out for us and the gentleman serving him was very friendly and personable, which we really appreciate especially in a fast-​food type environment. We ordered two chicken salad plus rice bowls and the portions were very generous, chicken was very flavourful in consistent with other locations, lettuce, rice, beans, corn and guacamole were very fresh.
I urge readers to not let the other low rating reviews discourage you from going like it did to me. I’m so happy that we gave it a chance and it’s only 10 minutes away from home! Husband and I are making it a weekly thing to order this every Friday.

Amazing staff! I asked about the issues chipotle is having in the U.S. And the staff explained their procedures to ensure me that there will be no such issue at this location. Everything taste great. The manager is blessed to have staff like this represent their store!

This is the first Chipotle I’ve ever been to, and I just want to say that this place doesn’t live up to the hype, nor my expectations. I was expecting a much larger burrito for the price I paid, which might be part of the reason for giving such a low review. I understand that they use organic products, and stuff like that, but it didn’t cut it out for me. The only good part of the burrito was the tortilla and black beans, but everything else wasn’t so good, decent yet very cold vegetables, oddly chewy beef (but well flavoured) and just an OK guac, which I was surprised by the fact that I had to pay extra for it. The dining space is not at all comfortable (especially when crowded) but the staff weren’t bad, they had a cheerful attitude even though it was obvious I wasn’t enjoying the experience so much.

Great Mexican food. One thing I dislike about chipotle is that they never offer you veggies. I don’t understand this. Also they charge 2.21 for guacamole but they do load it so that’s a plus. And sometimes, they are extremely conservative the meat portions.

Aight, dis ain’t no Seven Lives in Kensington, I know, but «dis ain’t what u want». You say that you have a craving for Mexican. You’ve heard of this super awesome Mexican food chain in the US, that’s finally here in Canada and you want to give it a try! Well save your $ 20 and get yourself 20 tacos from Taco Bell instead, because Chipotle will disappoint you and your stomach will have nothing but regrets.
Let’s start off by saying I’ve tried Chipotle in California and sure it was OK, but with the amount of authentic Mexican restaurants and food trucks there, I don’t know why anyone in their right mind would eat Chipotle. I guess it’s like having that craving for Chinese food and hitting up ManchuWOK for their chicken balls special, it just doesn’t make sense to me.
I decided to a little adventurous and instead of the usual burrito, I went with the multiple tacos option. A little bit of chicken, pork and beef to mix it up and pretty much every topping available, because I like it messy. That’s an understatement actually, because what I was served was a few small tacos, with a mound of meat, vegetables and slop piled on top. I wasn’t able to actually eat my meal like a taco should be eaten, so I ended up using a fork and knife to consume my meal like the meat salad it was.
Was I full at the end, yes. Did my stomach appreciate the mountain of slop I just shoved inside of it? Well, let’s just say I did have many regrets the next morning! Overall, as sad as it sounds, I think I’ll go with the Taco Bell option instead. Something about Taco Bell meat served from a caulking gun is actually more appetizing than what I got at Chipotle.

Been here 3 times, been to the Yorkdale location countless times.
Why I give this location 2 stars?
–2 out of the 3 times my burrito had bones in them. Yes bones are part of animals, but I’ve never had them in my burritos before
–My most recent burrito from this location had cold chicken, and fatty pieces. I’m not talking about lukewarm pieces, because that i can handle. But these chicken pieces were COLD.
–They always wrap it so sloppy that it always breaks apart and I need a fork to eat it as a bowl.
The good?
–Portions are huge because it’s pretty dead if it’s not lunch or dinner time.
–Unsweetened tea with lemon (not sure if complimentary)
In a nutshell, i probably will only stick to the yorkdale location for my Chipotle cravings.

All chipotles are not created equal. This chipotle pales in comparison to the quality of the food at the yonge and Eglinton location. I would love to find a way to suggest to management that they have more experienced staff from other locations help to build the restaurant to the brand standards. I also had a hair in my burrito bowl.

When I went in for lunch today, rather than having the grill on to properly grill the burritos, they were using one of those small press grills. As a result, the wrap was not even warm let alone toasted. Then, the server making my burrito placed it on the counter. I guess the guy nearer the till was supposed to pass it on. I had to wait five minutes while my burrito got even colder because this second guy was filling another customer’s order. Instead of just grabbing my burrito so I could pay, the third dude on cash paid no attention and had an annoying conversation with the customer waiting for his order about the most effective methods of weightlifting. The filling in the burrito was up to Chipotle’s usual standard, but everything else at this location is not. Won’t go back.

I had been to every other chipotle in the city 100’s of times. I figure why not try this one out and see how it compares. They weren’t cheap on giving extra here like they are at some locations COUGH COUGH YORKDALE, and the food taste was great unlike at COUGH COUGH YORKDALE. The only thing was that the chicken tasted a little saltier than normal. Not too sure what happened there maybe the seasoning? Either way my chicken bowl was excellent.

I dig the community tables. What a way to promote camaraderie with strangers! And the food — yum! Something for everyone.

So glad that Chipotle is open at The Stockyards. While the imminent closing of Target may hurt, the place should be good enough to survive and thrive. I will be a regular here.
The staff here are still coming up to speed with all details of customer service, yet they are friendly and eager to help customers.
If you are new to Chipotle, the negatives (especially for the neighbourhood) centre around price. A burrito bowl and a drink costs 12.20, which is a fair deal for quality and portion, but still high for those accustomed to walking out the door at McDonald’s for a hair under $ 9.
Here are a few hints…
1. Guacamole costs 2.21 extra. Debates rage as to why this is, and whether it is better to order this as a side or on top of a bowl. Know this going in and you will be ahead of any worries about this cost.
2. Sometimes (depending on the server) they will skimp on meat or not offer you the grilled veggies. It is ok to ask for a little more!
3. If you want it, ask. They will do half mild, half medium salsa. They will mix black and pinto beans for you. Etc.
4. The stainless steel container to the right of the soda fountain is unsweetened tea. If you like unsweetened tea or just want a low/​no calorie option, it is available, along with fresh-​cut lemons.
5. They try to source ingredients locally. They also use hormone-​free and humanely raised meats. They also have vegetarian options (sofritas?) which is surprisingly good.
6. You can park in the deck and enter from the back side of the store (as well as the side that fronts St. Clair Ave.)

First time at any Chipotle and it will be my last. Over priced burrito — no fresh veggie toppings and have to pay $ 2 extra for guacamole which is ridiculous. The way they wrapped it did not add to the visual appeal as it was gathered into a burrito ball instead of looking like a tube shape. Will be sticking to Burrito Boyz where the burritos are cheaper with tons of toppings and grilled once wrapped

I visited the soft opening for this new Stockyards location. All of the staff we encountered were enthusiastic and friendly. They are obviously still working out some details. When ordering tacos, the first person on the line put out three tortillas, but the next guy didn’t know what they were for. Same thing at the till when the cashier didn’t know what to ring through. Understandably, more communication and training is needed. The food was really good. The tacos were stuffed with toppings and I ended up using a fork and knife to eat them. I love that they have unsweetened ice tea with fresh lemons at the pop station. I went to use the washroom, but there is only one for ladies and the door did not lock. When I mentioned it to my husband, one of the staff members overheard and said that you just have to pull the door closed hard. Like I said, at this point all of the staff are super excited and happy to help. I will certainly be back, so I hope they keep it up!
