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 ..
Bowls are good. Brown rice , black beans , chicken and salsa . Inexpensive non-GMO, sounds good to me!
Burrito bowl , black & pinto beans, chicken , mild & medium salsa , sour cream , lettuce, and guacamole . Delicious slow-carb meal.
A good choice if you want to design your own meal, try their rice bowl with chicken
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
Long lines but always worth the wait for the cheap but yummy Mexican food
They are super nice here- if you need a little more of something - ask... They will likely accommodate you!
Chiptopia will reward you with free burritos and swag for doing what you already do-loving burritos
Now with chorizo as a meat choice!
Gluten free options . Burrito bowl or corn tortillas for tacos .
Okay to bring leashed dog into the patio (be considerate; calm dogs only; be prepared to clean the mess if Fido pees/poops)
Often quite busy but almost always efficient.
Barbacoa and black beans are legit here.
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.
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
Secret is to order a Bowl and then ask for tortillas on the side. This maximizes dollars/unit of food.
They hand out the smallest portion of any chipotle. Be on the look out
My favorite is the chicken burrito bowl with guacamole !
Simple, fast mexican food . Fajita Burrito , awesomeness. Read more
The kids taco kit is a great deal!
The line is ALWAYS long. This is easiest the slowest Chipotle in the city . Just accept it.
Big line at lunch , but moves fairly quickly :)
If you're ordering for multiple people, place the order online. That will reduce the number of people you piss off.
Go around 11:30AM. Line is out the door by noon
The way to go is to just order a bowl. Throw whatever you want in there.
You get the smallest portions at this location compared to any other Chipotle. Boo!
Order online; the line gets crazy around lunch time
If line is up to the door it will take about 15 minutes to get through. Next time order online or with iPhone app
Literally the slowest chipotle I have EVER been to, every single time. My goodness.
Line at the door right now!
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 .
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.
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 .
Hidden menu item: jalapeños .
Use your iPhone to order (app)... but make sure you order WAY ahead of time.
Get mix bead and chicken ...
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.
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.
Love chipotle but not this location. Rice was undercooked, green tomatoes , salty beans... LAME
Possibly the slowest chipotle.
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
The service is so, so sloooow!
It's weird that they charge $1 for chips , but they're really good.
Nice 'n spicy ....
Worst chipotle in LA! So rude that you feel you're bothering them as soon as you get in!!
Bad service, but the food makes it worth it.
No beer here. Boooo :(
The Blue Corn Enchiladas are the best singular item, but A Taste of History wI'll get you a pork tamale, chile relleno, cheese enchilada, and beef taco. - Chad Miller
Very laid back good and fast service... taco and beer hot the spot - Christopher Neal
Cajun fish tacos are so good! Great carnitas taquitos. Excellent food for an amazing price! - Nate Tackett
I love the Promenade, even if it is a bit touristy! The have tons of shops ranging from the high-end to more affordable, and lots of people watching opportunities! Very talents performers as well! - Parker Green
Amazing new store. Great service,very kind & helpful staff. - Joel Teknyc Martinez
Sad that bookstores are a dying breed. Love shopping for new books & this is the best bookstore in Santa Monica. Staff is great too. Go buy a book & keep these guys in business. Recommended. - Tom Odell
