Chipotle Mexican Grill - Seattle

Comfortable, vibrant cafeteria. Chipotle reminds me of my high school cafeteria you queue up in a long line (if its between 11:30 and 1 PM) and efficiently order up your burrito which is made in front of you. The burritos are excellent, very generous size, fresh ingredients and if you are a UW student you receive a free fountain drink by presenting your student ID. Their chips are mediocre too salty and not warm so I rarely order those. I also appreciate the dish of fresh lemon wedges for your soda. The restaurant is spacious, well lit and always clean. Overall, this is one of my favorite places to stop at for lunch on the Ave.

I have heard chipotle many times before coming to the US, finally come and try it! I love choosing what I like and mix them together! I had the bowl with brown rice, steak, black bean, lettuce, tomato sauce and hot sauce! I love the flavor of their steak! You can feel the beef are not bad, but fairly fresh! The brown rice and black bean are also nice, the beans are really soft, you can't feel the existence of them if you eat it with rice! The tomato sauce is a surprise! It is nice even if you do not mix it into the bowl! But I think it is more my type if the sauce is hot, I don't feel comfortable when the hot rice mixed with cold saucesAnd they also provide Tabasco to add! It would not be a wrong choice if u don't know what to eat! Wanna try other types of protein for the next time! 4 5 for taste 4 5 for service

This is truly the first review I've ever written for a restaurant or any business, for that matter. But I wanted to just to let the managers and the fine patrons reading this review know that the guy running the register at times, Sam, is Johnny on the spot. I'm a delivery driver, and a lot of chain restaurants can have some super lax, super inattentive employees. But Sam is always friendly, and never leaves anyone hanging, it's really refreshing. So, I just wanted to give props where props are due. Give this man a raise.

"My love for Mexican food traces back to my early days at a local burrito shop. Yes, I know Chipotle is now part of a large fast-food conglomerate (which rhymes with 'schmcschmonalds'), and I understand that their oversized burritos aren’t exactly authentic Mexican cuisine. However, before Chipotle leveraged its parent company's resources to offer farm-raised, antibiotic-free meats, it started as a straightforward burrito place. I remember the original location on Evans Street in Denver, CO, which still operates as a Chipotle today but has been updated with their signature corrugated steel design. That black and white sign let students and local families know where to get a satisfying meal wrapped in a gigantic tortilla. I can still recall the perfect rice—just the right amount of cilantro with a delightful lime flavor. I’m eagerly awaiting the opening of the downtown location. When will it be ready?"

I really enjoy this restaurant; I always order the burrito bowl. This time, however, they were out of vegetables, so I decided to wait a few minutes until they restocked. After a little while...
