I’m obsessed, it’s so easy to customize what you want and it’s great for a post workout meal. My favorite is a burrito bowl with carnitas, Barbacoa, rice, lettuce, veggies and cheese

    It works in a pinch though not my go-to. The last time I went I got veggies with chicken and guacamole. For some reason, the food there bothers my stomach. I think it's the amount of volume and it's too much for me to eat at once.

    However, I know a lot of people who love it and they do offer good options.

    Bowl: No rice, black beans, double chicken, corn, hot salsa, cheese

    Do not eat before bed unless you want to be late for work the next day.

    It's alright, it'll do if there aren't any other better sounding options. When I was losing weight, I would order a bowl, eat half with 1 oz of chips and it was 588 calories. (Steak, pinto beans, white rice, pico, corn, cheese, sour cream, guac on the side)

    When my last job dictated that I was traveling 85%+ Chipotle became my go-to. I'd pick my hotel based on being close to one and it kept me from wandering to more calorie-laden options and it wasn't uncommon for me to get it 3-4 nights in-a-row. Still love it, just don't go there as frequently.

    Standard order:
    Bowl or Salad (no dressing on the salad, absolute calorie bomb)
    double chicken
    fajita veggies
    mild & medium salsa
    guac
    cheese (depending on calories/macros remaining)

    Being able to get extra veggies and salsa at no charge is gold if you're hungry. I think beans fall into that category as well but I don't do beans.

    Oh my god, me. Giving up the chips has been hard but this is my order:
    Burrito bowl with white rice, both beans, veggies and sofritas. Occasionally I will splurge and get a sprinkling of cheese!

    There aren't any Chipotles in my area. We have Qdoba, which I have trouble with. I can certainly get something that fits into my calories, which is nice and better than other restaurants, but I prefer what I make at home because it's easier to adjust the portions to my tastes. I'm kind of picky, so I would probably say the same for most restaurants, haha.

    This is nearly what I do. Mostly the salad, no cheese or sour cream. It's actually not that high of calorie without the cheese/sour cream on it. I do love their salad dressing (like 275 calories, but I'm in maintenance, so I do splurge on that but still skip the cheese/sour cream).

    Chipotle and Cava Mezza Grill are my current quick favorites.

    I do a burrito bowl, double rice, double fajita, steak or chicken, medium salsa, corn and guac.

    Ah, the good old days when I used to work near a Chipotles...

    When we had Mandatory Saturdays, our employer would buy us lunch. We'd spend so much time thinking about lunch, eating lunch, and being in a food coma afterwards that there really wasn't any point in making us come in.

    I love Chipotle. I usually bounce between chicken, carnitas, and sofritas. Add veggies, cheese, medium salsa, lettuce, and sour cream. Guac if I’m feeling expensive. One bowl usually lasts me 2-3 meals if I listen to how hungry I am rather than “OMG YUM MUST SHOVEL INTI FACE”

    Our town has Chipotle and Qdoba and I love them both. I usually get a salad, no shell, with double steak, half/half beans, half/half rice, shredded cheese, mild and corn salsas, and a squirt of sour cream. Or I'll do a kids salad (same ingredients) and get the side of tortilla soup with chicken. Not overly calorie-conscious but I tend to save a lot of my calories for dinner time.

    When I started trying to eat better I began ordering it without the shell and without queso. I don't miss either like I thought I would.

    Love it! I get a bowl with chicken, brown rice, sour cream, corn salsa, lettuce & guac on the side. If I'm feeling wild and don't care about calories I'll get an order of chips.

    Ok for fast food, but living in New Mexico, it's far from my first choice.
