Chipotle Mexican Grill

Such a taste in my mouth. Perfect amount of everything. Best restaurant ever.try it! I wish I could rate it 1 million stars

Very first thing we did after landing in Denver ... head straight to the original Chipotle store opened in 1993. It's a very small store with few seats inside, but lots of table available outside. We got several bowls quickly for our lunch. I loved the taste of ingredients from this store, it's different than NJ. Fajitas are spicier, Chicken al pastor has more flavor. Maybe it's the Denver elevation. Crew are super nice. We small chit chat about being the original store. The restroom was well maintained. I was little bumped to see how Chipotle has not put any effort in making this landmark more attracting. Other than a plaque in the brick wall, there's nothing else, no souvenir, so swag for tourists like us to take back home. Nonetheless I was thrilled to be here as a fan of Chipotle for over 14 years.

The OG Chipotle! Really cool to eat at this place. It's standard to me but my family said the flavor is different from NJ/NY. Outdoor tables. Small area. Not ideal for big group. Mostly for take out. Service is great. Staff is very nice.

Food - 8/10 chipotle is always solid. This is the first chipotle. The quality standard between all chipotles is on point. I will say though there is no sitting room to eat other than outside. I had a party of 7 and we had to split 3 tables. Coke machine did not work sadly. It gets a 4/5 either way because of the food quality.

"The Original Chipotle, Where a Revolution Wrapped in Foil Began." Est. July 13, 1993 - For someone who eats at this franchised establishment at least once a month, I made my pilgrimage to the place that started it all. I couldn't believe the scale of the restaurant. The compact space with few stools looked like a humble beginning. Parking is minimal, with two or three spaces by the building. For us, we parked in the residential area, and another option is to park on the street. It felt like I was walking on a cloud because this restaurant REVOLUTIONIZED how fast food should be prepared with every ingredient labeled on the bag. Everything was jolly until I encountered their service at the cashier. Before paying, there was a lot of scanning using the app. Not only did I want to claim my points, but I also wanted to use free Chips that were expiring on the day. Whoever the cashier was, she could have been more friendly by providing us with our drink after paying. I had to ask for it as she gave me an annoying look. I said thank you and no reply. The subpar service left a bad taste in my mouth as I couldn't enjoy the food. What would typically be a two-star experience, I bumped one up only because of the history of this place.

Less than stellar experience again today, I went in person to make sure I got what I wanted. A manager was having a personal call at the front door and let me in but nobody was at the counter. I waited then a girl came directly from sipping on an employee drink to serving me, no hand wash/glove change. There was a bit of a language barrier so I was patient but I had to ask 3 times to get corn, again my favorite part. My meal for the most part was decent but the guac was not, shown is a large chunk of underripe rock hard (but somehow still brown) avocado from a weird batch of guacamole. I don't think this location is that great despite being the OG one.

This place was great when it first opened. Now that they skimp on portions and raise prices I have stopped going. It's too bad they got greedy as I liked it. Cava is good and they don't skimp on portions.

Barely give you any food even when you ask for extra. Super skimpy on the meat as well, just go to another location

Do you like burritos that are way too soggy to eat and tear apart super quick, can't even hold em up, have everything fall out? If that's your style, come to this location. Cannot believe I was served a burrito that looks this way.

This is our "home chipotle" if u will. But tonight there was a huge consistency issue. Lesson learned do NOT order online.Husband gets there and we are given two of our 4 menu items ordered. Luckily he checks the bag and tells them they're missing a whole tacos and burrito bowl. 10 min later they come back with another bag and don't even say sorry, etc. I was working at the time and didn't get home until much later. When I get home from a 11 hour day in a busy hospital starving, i find my chicken bowl has the following items missing: corn salsa and salsa verse, but they added a few things I never get and did not order: cheese, sour cream and lettuce. No corn and salsa verse PLUS UNWANTED cheese, lettuce, and sour cream GTFO. I know this probably seems petty but changed the whole flavor profile of the bowl. Plus I asked for extra chicken so this thing was like 12.50$. I go on the chipotle app to get a refund and report the issue, they won't refund me but offer me a drink that again I don't want. To add insult to injury I always tip 20% even on online takeout orders bc I know these peeps be busting their asses. Will I eat here again- yes bc it's the closest to my house??!! Will I order online- NO and jokes on u chipotle bc I'm about to bring my insane, ill behaved psycho of a feral child into ur small ass establishment every time now! Will I tip 20%- that all depends on u, line prep workers.Thank u for coming to my Ted Talk.
