Perfect! I generally get a side of the chips & guac as well. Usually this order is enough for lunch the next day too!"

"They kinda skimp out on how much meat they give you, idk if it's just for DoorDash though. Bag also came really leaky and wet. Don't get carne asada or steak, it's so overcooked that it's like leather."
"Unfortunately one of the worst meals we have gotten from chipotle. I had maybe five pieces of chicken in my bowl if that. It was mainly rice and beans. With a little sour cream and cheese. Barely any lettuce too. Not sure what happened this time but it was very disappointing. The other bowl was better but still had barely any chicken. "

"My favorite Mexican spot, incredible food and always generous with their portions. I normally don't eat beans because of the texture, but they have the smoothest, creamiest bean dip, that I enjoy so much I'd eat it on it's own with a spoon! The service and atmosphere is always great too. Highly recommend!!"

"The burito was solid. Good flavor, bounty, fresh ingredients and overall very good. The Nachos, while bounty and full of yummy ingredients like pinto beans, chicken, steak and great salsas, the queso was very bad. It was separated and gritty. It wasn't the cheesy and silky queso I expected. I think if the queso improves, it will be a heck of a nachos. I will try them again ."

"The burrito was tasty. I enjoyed it. The chicken was seasoned well. The beans were very good. Everything was cooked well. I have ordered this twice. And I would order it again. The salsa's I chose were good too. You get a generous amount of fresh ingredients and meat. I've ordered it twice so far and can make two meals out of that one burrito. I've also ordered the 3 tacos, they're good too. Nice chunky chicken. I recommend getting one of these burritos."
