I try to come in for lunch whenever I can. Food is quick & tasty. Skip tortilla & rice for low carb meal . Super friendly staff . Love their iPhone app for to-go orders when I have to eat in the office .

Recommended for a quick meal .. You can easily design your own food .. Great healthy options .. Average taste ..

Andrew Kavanagh

Bowls are good. Brown rice , black beans , chicken and salsa . Inexpensive non-GMO, sounds good to me!

Matthew Cassinelli

Burrito bowl , black & pinto beans, chicken , mild & medium salsa , sour cream , lettuce, and guacamole . Delicious slow-carb meal.

AlKhuzama.

A good choice if you want to design your own meal, try their rice bowl with chicken

Mike Moreno

FYI. You get more if you order a burrito bowl , also one of the few places on the promenade that gives unlimited refills of soda

William Capodanno

Long lines but always worth the wait for the cheap but yummy Mexican food

Daphne Bach

They are super nice here- if you need a little more of something - ask... They will likely accommodate you!

Alex Wrecks

Chiptopia will reward you with free burritos and swag for doing what you already do-loving burritos

????andal ????chwartz

Now with chorizo as a meat choice!

Brad Hall

Gluten free options . Burrito bowl or corn tortillas for tacos .

Dee Cappelli

Okay to bring leashed dog into the patio (be considerate; calm dogs only; be prepared to clean the mess if Fido pees/poops)

Tim Kersey

Often quite busy but almost always efficient.

Francisco Arias

Barbacoa and black beans are legit here.

Kevin Dykes

The chicken was raw :/ don't get me wrong I love chipotle but they should take more time to finish grilling the chicken no matter how long the line is.

Robert Wallis

There's a difference between normal Tobasco and chipote Tobasco sauce , try the chipotle one drop per bite.

during lunchtime midweek, the line is super long. Download the iphone app and order your burrito ahead of time! Read more

Dan Murillo

Secret is to order a Bowl and then ask for tortillas on the side. This maximizes dollars/unit of food.

alejandro ramirez

They hand out the smallest portion of any chipotle. Be on the look out

Tom Odell

My favorite is the chicken burrito bowl with guacamole !

Amit

Simple, fast mexican food . Fajita Burrito , awesomeness. Read more

Tiffany Estrada

The kids taco kit is a great deal!

John Tomaszewski

The line is ALWAYS long. This is easiest the slowest Chipotle in the city . Just accept it.

Jeremy Hermanns

Big line at lunch , but moves fairly quickly :)

Double Deuce

If you're ordering for multiple people, place the order online. That will reduce the number of people you piss off.

Peter O'Toole

Go around 11:30AM. Line is out the door by noon

Jamez

The way to go is to just order a bowl. Throw whatever you want in there.

alejandro ramirez

You get the smallest portions at this location compared to any other Chipotle. Boo!

Tiffany Graham

Order online; the line gets crazy around lunch time

Whitney Lauritsen

If line is up to the door it will take about 15 minutes to get through. Next time order online or with iPhone app

Lexi Osborne

Literally the slowest chipotle I have EVER been to, every single time. My goodness.

Rommel DG DG

Line at the door right now!

Brit Browning

Thrilled to have a Chipotle come to town but they gotta send someone in from corporate to teach these guys how to wrap a burrito .

Hayley P.

Consistently one of the worst Chipotle locations. Runs out of meat, inconsistent portion sizes and pricing for same items on different trips, rude, inhospitable staff . Do tired of it never improving.

Darth Arielle

Consistently the worst chipotle ever. Slow service even when you call it in and give them enough time to make it! It shouldn't take more than 5 mins to make a kids meal .

Bernard Rodriguez

Hidden menu item: jalapeños .

Jesse Tenorio

Use your iPhone to order (app)... but make sure you order WAY ahead of time.

Yusuf

Get mix bead and chicken ...

Double Deuce

Service is generally very bad, but there is one employee who is consistently terrible. Try to avoid interacting with her at all cost. You'll know who it is.

Dave Krosky

Wait a few more months before this place pulls it together. Unless you enjoy cold burritos , head to Marina Del Ray or you may be disappointed.

Anthony Montes

Love chipotle but not this location. Rice was undercooked, green tomatoes , salty beans... LAME

Aaron N

Possibly the slowest chipotle.

Whitney Lauritsen

Website made me wait an hour to pick up after ordering online, but even though I got here early my food was cold. Had it been sitting out that entire hour? It was still good though

William Cheng

The service is so, so sloooow!

Whitney Lauritsen

It's weird that they charge $1 for chips , but they're really good.

Putri Vannisa

Nice 'n spicy ....

Alex Evans

Worst chipotle in LA! So rude that you feel you're bothering them as soon as you get in!!

Dev Heshmatpour

Bad service, but the food makes it worth it.

Thomas Ruschke

No beer here. Boooo :(
