Comparison to other less expensive mexican restuarant. (blacklist link redacted)
Chipotle is overrated and expensive for what they pay in ingredients.
Someone needs to write when McDonalds bought out the original owner and for how much. It should be put under History.
I think my chipotle charges extra for guacamole... the page says the cost is based only on the meat.
They Need to open one in Westchester NY!
Best burritos ever. Ever. --Roryking 03:40, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Indeed. And someone should make an article about Qdoba and mention how they copied Chipotle in the most absolute form.
>>There is also an unlisted menu item - quesadillas. This costs about $2, and includes cheese and your choice of meat. There is also a rumored nacho dish, which includes chips and cheese.<<
Is it worth listing rumored and unlisted menu items in a restaurant entry?--MatthewUND 08:19, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Is the fact that a burrito is big and thus has a lot of calories grounds for saying it isn't healthy? How does it rate with other measures of healthiness (fat content, etc)?
Recently an anonymous user added chipotless.com to the external links. Chipotless.com and Chipotlediet.com are in fact the same site. These sites contain content scraped from legitimate chipotle fan sites. In a later edit another anonymous user inserted that scraped content for a long standing external link and since chipotlediet.com and chipotless.com both point to the same URL it effectively duplicates that one site in the external sites area. I removed both of these things because I'm concerned that this is basically spam and amounts to vandalism when it removes valid long-respected content. Perhaps it's just a well intentioned but uninformed user, but I don't feel these edits were appropriate. greggles 15:39, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
RESPONSE
You ask me to explain to you why my chipotle site is relevant….or else. Your childish threats to continually remove my link only beg one question: Why should we in the chipotle community explain anything to you? Are you the czar of all things chipotle? Must all chipotle fans go through you? Many people have blogs about chipotle. Not just you Greg. To know why ChipotleDiet.com is relevant, all one must do is merely visit the site. And you have. In fact you have registered for a username, and are a member of ChipotleDiet.com Greg. If my site is irrelevant, why did you join?
1. “Scraped Content"
The chipotlelovers.com content appears in a Frame on my site. Frames are commonly used web technologies that (until now) have never been considered unscrupulous. You claim to be web saavy Greg, but your feign ignorance about frames when it suits you. Visitors to my site can see and use the chipotlelovers.com calorie calculator. Chipotlelovers.com gets 1) all the credit for the hits (web stats), 2) all the revenue from the google ads, 3) a clearly-labeled banner that says “chipotle lovers”, and 4)their full menu navigation is left intact so that my visitors may peruse their content. You use dramatic words in your argument like “scraped content”, in a thinly veiled attempt to paint me as underhanded.
2. ChipotleDiet.com / ChipotLess.com
Yes. They both show the content of my site. Is this some sort of crime? Many (most, in fact) major websites have multiple domains. I came up with “chipotless” first, and later decided that “ChipotleDiet” was less confusing for visitors. However, many people still use “chipotless.com”, so I kept it active. This seems like an elementary issue that someone of intelligence could figure out in 10 seconds of thought. Yet, you used this situation as an opportunity to heap your McCarthy-ism on me.
3. Removed a “long standing link”
Mea Culpa. This one is my fault. I will admit that I am new to Wiki. Here’s what happened: I found a fantastic burrito calorie calculator (the aforementioned chipotlelovers.com). The javascript allows you to check boxes and see the resulting changes immediately. No hitting “submit”, and the hitting the “back” button. I wanted to add it to the wiki, and I did. It seemed silly to leave the other (inferior) calculator link in place, so I removed it. MISTAKE. I know this now. Don’t hold this against me forever. Please forgive this beginner mistake? Remember: this is a Chipotle wiki, NOT “The Greg Knaddison Show”.
Regards, Eric Foster, ChipotLoser
p.s. you can discount about 40% of this message, as I was angry while I wrote it.

Is it worth listing rumored and unlisted menu items in a restaurant entry?--MatthewUND 08:20, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I went to Chipotle earlier today, I have information on the "secret items". They are actuly part of a Parent's Menu system, allowing one to make smaller, cheaper orders. For example, a single cheese only quesadilla for 55 cents, a single taco or a simple bol. This information was on a small card along with the suggestion that you can make any sort of custom order, I belive this explains the "secret items" rumor. (Jack Cain 00:18, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC))
Just wanted to add that the main article should include the phrase "Best restaurant EVER." And please note, this is a NPOV-compliant statement :-)
I used to work for Chipotle and trust me, they are not as innovative as you would think. These "secret" menu items of which you speak have been available at least since I last worked there in 2003, and they are not "secret" but simply not listed on the big menu board.
Chipotle also has a history of employing illegal Mexican workers (I am saying this from experience) and I'm quite certain the store I worked at has a lawsuit pending against them for this.
It doesn't read like an ad to me. I find it highly accurate. Had I written it, I would have poured more praise :) The food is very good, and the quality if high and consistent.
Also, employing illegal Mexican workers is not a Chipotle practice... it is a restaurant practice. Every restaurant that I know employs illegal immigrants.
Hugo Estrada, 20 July 2006.
This article needs to be written by someone who has no preference between Qdoba and Chipotle. I personally prefer Qdoba, so if it were me, there would be much less praise. --LocrialTheSequel 06:03, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Just a note on the hiring of illegals... I used to work at a chicagoland store and can tell you that at last years Day Without an Immigrant, some of the chicago stores closed due to lack of workers... draw your own conclusion. Wheres the ICE when you need them? - Former S.M.
As someone who has never visited a Chipotle and has only been to a Qdoba once, I find the article to be a bit promotional. I understand that certain parts of the article need to be rewritten in a NPOV. Also, I noticed some of the parts in the "Promotions" section is written like an advertisement. I will simply reword them so they are not so much like a commercial.Ginamarie112 (talk) 15:13, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
The "Environmental Responsibility" section is also very promotional of the restaurant's reputation and standards. In fact I find this section title not to be as neutral as possible and will think of a subheading that is more appropriate.Ginamarie112 (talk) 15:13, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
is this section really even worth mentioning? I almost feel like the ikea-ish decor is mroe notable than the music played at the restaurants. someone second me so we can delete the section. Shaggorama 12:16, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Just curious: why was the anonymous addition of “as one of the so called partner-brands” reverted? It seems to be true. —Fleminra 23:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Don't they have these at ALL chipotles? I haven't been to a chipotle where they do not sell alcoholic beverages.
There's a new fast-casual Mexican chain. Link into [1]
Isn't this the place Ozzy was seen frequenting in The Osbournes in the episodes where he was apparently having a "burrito obsession"? Shador5529 18:29, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Yes. 24.14.72.182 22:14, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Following sentence sounds odd, "Everything other than the meats, pinto beans (with bacon), cheese, sour cream, and honey vinaigrette for salads is vegan. The cheese is made from vegetable based rennet in order to be suitable for vegetarians." Can someone fix this? Also I think the secret menu options should be mentioned. --buzlink 18:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
The grammar and flow of that sentence is fine, but I don't understand why it excludes the cheese from the list of vegan foods, then explains that it IS vegan. --LocrialTheSequel 06:06, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
It says on here that in 2006, the Halloween free burrito would be discontinued in certain regions. I just did it however, and even received an e-mail from Chipotle about "Boo-Rito" without any note of "participating locations only" or the like. 71.197.236.48 01:45, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

This isn't a word an encyclopedia should use very often. That the founder 'apparently' worked as a line cook someplace is 'apparently' an indication that the facts need to be checked. This should be 'apparent' to everyone who edits here. 204.69.40.13 17:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Steve Ells isn't Chipotle. He's a person. 24.14.72.182 22:15, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Why was there a mention of this a few days ago but now its gone? Does someone from Chioptle not want people to know that it hires illegals? The Fox news station in Chicago reported on it last year so its fact, like it or not - Iowa Mikey
Would someone please add a section on the unique style of the interiors? It's kind of retro, kind of moderne, very industrial. Even the official website mentions it. However, I don't know enough about design to use terms properly or add context. 128.158.145.51 20:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
I think the sentance "Many of these items are gluten free though the flour tortillas for both the burritos and the small tacos contain gluten." is a bit misleading as it could lead some to belive that other items besides the tortialls are not gluten-free, when in fact everything is gluten-free except for the four tortillas. A better explination would read "All menu times are gluten-free except for both the large burrito tortillas and small soft taco tortillas" I also beleive that the following sentance "The hot red salsa contains small amounts of gluten from distilled vinegar." is incorrect because anything distilled (ex: vinegar, alcohol, ect) has been approved by the American Dietary Association and many Celiac Groups as being safe for consumption due to the gluten particles being removied during the distillation process.
My only goal in adding the gluten-free info is so that other people with celiac disease know that they have the option to go to Chipotle and get a meal. It is VERY hard to find anyplace to eat when you can't eat gluten.--SpitfirePisces 23:16, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey. I see that the environmental section is marked as having missing citations for over fifteen months now. As such, I'm going to paste below all of the items under the list that are unreferenced. Once someone can dig up some reliable secondary sources for these, they can be added back. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 05:47, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Note: These statements were copied over from the main page.
In 2002, Chipotle built its first restaurant in Austin, Texas that was certified "green" by the city's Austin Energy Green Buildings project with a three-star rating. Two years later, Chipotle built a second restaurant that was given a four-star rating. The four-star designation was given to a Chipotle constructed within a vacant historic building. Thus far, Chipotle is the only restaurant to which Austin has given a four-star green rating.
I'm tired of this fight. As per WP:EL#Links normally to be avoided, #12: "Links to blogs and personal web pages, except those written by a recognized authority." The site is a blog, provides no indication of authority, is not an official site, and should therefore not be included on this page. Stop adding the link. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 19:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't there be something in this article about the nutrition of Chipotle. Many other restaurant pages have them and the nutrition of Chipotle has been highly critized due to its high quantities of calories and fat. JakeH07 (talk) 00:24, 14 July 2008 (UTC)JakeH07
article tells me that "the restaurant is similar in concept to sub shops like Subway and Quiznos in terms of layout and ordering."
so, how does one order at subway and quiznos? what is layout of subway and quiznos. not everyone in the world (including user) lives in the fast-casual food chain.
does one order food at a counter and take a tray to a table for eating? does one order food at a counter and a server brings the food to a table? does the place even have tables? does one get seated at a table and server takes order and serves?--98.116.115.220 (talk) 13:59, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

I slightly reworded the part about "Farmed and Dangerous." It said that nitrogen fertilizers are made from "nitrogen from the air and hydrogen present in natural gas from fracking." I put a link to Haber-Bosch process, which indeed does use nitrogen from the air to make nitrogen fertilizers. The part about hydrogen wasn't clear to me. Did it mean the hydrogen was a result of fracking? Was it confusing steam reforming with fracking? I reworded it to say that the hydrogen came from natural gas, and that the process was energy-intensive.
And I reworded the part about the ADA lawsuit. I felt "the plaintiff ... has a history of filing ADA-related lawsuits" portrayed him in a negative light. The ADA is law in the U.S., and the courts found that Chipotle was not in compliance with that law. The character of the plaintiff has nothing to do with the ruling. Roches (talk) 00:03, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
With this edit I removed the phrase: "Although Chipotle may not necessarily have any more problems with foodborne illnesses than any other large restaurant chain..." It may, it may not: it is pure speculation. Furthermore, the references appended to 'support' this speculation were simply lists of FDA and CDC investigations. This is an example of WP:SYNTH: "using material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources" (my emphasis).

Please, when making changes, such as removing names which should be in the infobox, state your reasons. I will now explain why I am going to put the names back in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_company , key people are: "Up to four key individuals closely associated with the company." The instructions continue: "Generally list prominent, current executives within the company holding key positions such as chairman, chief executive officer, president, VP of design, etc., but do not list roles below chief officer level if they are not notable. Do include top executives even not individually notable, but do not wikilink them." It seems clear that the names that were removed fit the criteria of "prominent current execs." I will replace them now, and use the recommended un-bulleted list. Granolalover (talk) 10:46, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Key people were once again removed from the infobox. Please do not do this again without stating a good, Wikipedia reason. Please read above for the reasons why the names of the key people in the infobox are legitimate and should remain there. Thank you. Granolalover (talk) 14:38, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Looking at the article, it seemed like the list of outbreaks in the Food Safety section is very long, and seems to put WP:UNDUE weight on that part of the company. By a very rough word count, the food safety section has ~2700 words, and the entire article is ~8300 words, which is almost 1/3 of the article itself. I thought about being WP:BOLD and creating a separate article that is a list of the food safety outbreaks, but I did not want to be accused of POV-forking. I envision the split article to mainly be the list of outbreaks, and beefing up the lead of the food safety section.
I would welcome any thoughts by other editors. Angryapathy (talk) 16:04, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Recently an editor or editors at two different IP addresses and I have come into conflict over some material in the article. My overall opinion is that the article places undue weight on controversies involving the company. This was earlier observed by User:Angryapathy and at its good article reassessment. Let's take the material in question piece by piece:
The article already has good coverage of several severe food poisoning outbreaks, as well as data breaches and lawsuits. It does not need to cover every single negative incident involving a Chipotle restaurant. The article in the state that I found it read like a hit piece. Now, it is much more fair and balanced without downplaying Chipotle's poor food safety record. Rublov (talk) 23:45, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
