Chipotle Mexican Grill

Wow, for a company trying to claw its way back to a workable market share after recent food poisoning problems, the quality of the food I had at this location was shockingly poor. Fully a third of the steak in the tacos I ordered was inedible — undercooked, gristle, or fatty. Just wretched.

Yeah, probably unlikely I’d ever feel too compelled to review a Chipotle, they’re all pretty much the same. But now that I’ve had several bad experiences at this location maybe it doesn’t make sense to hold on to that assumption. Maybe it is because there are so many high school students the employees are just worn thin. But no one pays attention to you when you order so you end up repeating yourself a lot, then no one pays attention when they make your food so your tacos end up looking like this. Htf are you supposed to eat a taco with the sour cream on the outside of the shell? So sad, I should love Chipotle.

Good food, friendly staff, fast service. It’s super busy for lunch during the school year and the parking is terrible because it’s surrounded by other restaurants that are equally as busy during lunch time. I usually get there right when they open for pretty quick in and out service.

It is a Chipotle. Not a good Chipotle, but a Chipotle. Steak was dry, old, and full of fat and gristle. I won’t be back, but even if the food was good I wouldn’t be so I guess that doesn’t matter much does it?

Don’t come to this location during your lunch hour if you are in a hurry! This is why…
1. This Chipotle is close to Cherry Creek High School, so during the school year you can count on long lines and all the seats packed with kids. I will say the line moves fast, but seating is at a minimum during the lunch hour.
2. It’s in the DTC area so obviously it is going to be busy, but this particular Chipotle shares a parking lot with a number of other popular restaurants, and finding a parking space during the Monday-​Friday lunch hour is ridiculous!
I still gave it 4 stars because the staff is always friendly, the food is always great and the restaurant is always clean.

Yes, a standard Chipotle. This might be the most boring review you’ve ever read. However, please take note, Chipotle is a great place to get a set of tacos, a massive burrito or chips and salsa. And, since this location is right next to the Original Pancake House, you could make it an outing and have pancakes and guac all in one sitting.
Doesn’t sound like a good idea? Don’t knock it until you try it. And trust me when I say that this location is a good flag bearer for the rest of the franchise.

Went there for takeout tonight thursday. Absolutely terrible. Got the orders wrong folks in front of were complaing about wrong orders. Will never return to Chilpote.

Guess what, Chipotle only sells dark meat chicken, which is fine, I wish they we just honest about it, instead of hiding it, fir all there pretentious BS they are pretty unethical hypocrites.

Loved this place and people here. I love Chipotle as always and here really fresh stuff.

Chipotle, oh how I love the! I have loved the from the start on Evans, and grew blisters on my feet walking to the spot on Logan & Alameda in my teen years. Fifteen years later my addition has not subsided. It’s just now they have even more yummy options. Be sure to try the Sofritas, even meat eaters will love this vegetarian option!

For me, almost every Chipotle starts out at a 5 and then works its way down. You just can’t find a place with a better calorie/​dollar ratio (important for people who like to eat), let alone one that goes to great lengths to ensure healthy ingredient sourcing. The staff are always great (because they love their work) and they always tear through long lines like its their job (cause it is). We showed up at this Chipotle at like 9:30 PM, because Chipotles’ always close at 10 PM and we knew we could count on them to be open. Only reason these guys got a 4 was because they had some problem with a water leak, with this mini river flowing right down the path where the line ques up. I walked up in sandals and immediately doused my feet. The guy was like, «oh, is that back?». Lol, whatever though, the food was good, the people were nice, and I’ll be bringing my grandkids here if its still around in 40 years.

Overall a standard Chipotle with everything you’d expect. We were exhausted and hungry after an overseas flight, and it was 9PM on Sunday when we pulled into the lot. It felt a bit strange as all the other businesses in this large retail complex were closed, but it was nice seeing that there was no crowded parking lot or packed line.
We were immediately greeted, and I have to say, these employees must’ve been the perkiest I’ve ever encountered anywhere on a Sunday night. The manager even came by to check on us as we were eating. I’d have given this store 3*, but they were so welcoming and friendlier than other Chipotles that I bumped up the rating.
Food was the usual fare with all the same tastiness. Surprisingly, we weren’t subjected to food that lay at the bottom of the trough: it all looked freshly cooked. Usual prices. Apparently I haven’t been in a Chipotle in awhile because I was taken aback at being offered an option of brown or white rice, and the Fajita Burrito wasn’t listed on the menu above the wall. If I had remembered it existed, I would’ve ordered one (they can make a few things off-​menu).
It also looked like it had recently been cleaned as the bathroom was super shiny and fresh.
Thanks for welcoming us back home in such a positive manner!

Great Chipotle to visit if you’re in a hurry. I’ve only been here at night but thanks to being smack dab in the middle of DTC, it clear out after the work day. Employees are friendly and it’s a clean location with lots of parking (beware on the weekend with the Original Pancake House peeps trying to steal spots!). They have the same menu as any other location which I love the simplicity of it (Not to mention their guacamole) but wish they would expand a bit! Their barbacoa melts my heart and burrito bowls help keep my waistline in order. I heart Chipotle

What good is mexican food without queso?
Chipolte has refused to jump on the delicious cheese bandwagon like its competitors. I’m sorry, but a burrito without a touch of gooey cheesey heaven is like not giving love to a puppy.
Sorry, I’m not sorry.

This Chipotle was conveniently located next to the Marriott in the Denver Tech Center and made for a great dinner location for quick dining.
What can I say. Chipotle is my favorite go-​to place for lunch — hands down. I love the simple menu, tasty food, and friendly service.
Clearly Chipotle has a corporate culture going strong where people here actually enjoy their jobs. Very rarely have I had bad service at Chipotle and have noticed that people are more often than not really taking the time to chat up customers so you don’t feel hurried.
This location had particularly friendly staff that was on the cool side of cool. Thanks Chipotle!

For a Chipotle, this place is really good. Staff is SUPER friendly and line goes quickly regardless of how long it is. Seating is limited, but I always get it to-​go, so I’m not bothered by it at all.

I can always count on Chipotle for hormone and antibiotic free food!

This Chipotle is absolutely great. Admittedly I’m addicted to Chipotle and this one is near my office, but regardless of all that, this is the best Chipotle I’ve been to.
The staff is super nice, and since I’m in every other day they greet me by name with a smile and have my burrito ready before I can open my mouth to order.
They are a wonderfully friendly bunch of people and are very fast with getting my burrito prepared.
I will agree with other posters that the seating is a little limited, but I’m usually there during peak lunch and it only take a minute to find a table.
As for the food, not much to say, it’s Chipotle, so it’s consistently good and fresh, you really can’t go wrong with the food.

I give this Chipotle location a 3 stars. It seriously feels like they carved out a corner of the supply closet from Pancake House next door and built a Chipotle. Parking is usually pretty bad since it shares a lot with Il Fornaio and Pancake House, not to mention all the people drinking at Cool River and Purple in the evenings. Usually pretty hard to find seating inside and outdoor tables are mostly in the shade. Service is on par with other Chipotles, but watch out if you are claustrophobic!

Let me make it clear once and for all: Chipotle is not Mexican food. It is what Tokyo Joe’s is to Japanese food: distantly related but will never be mistaken for the real thing.
Overall the food is fine and the service is usually fast and efficient. I would rate it higher if it were more appropriately categorized as «Colorado Cuisine».
