Chipotle Mexican Grill is a southwestern, fast-food styled restaurant. It is a refreshing change of pace from existing fast food stops such as Wendy’s and McDonald’s. The atmosphere also stands apart from its competition’s, which makes eating at Chipotle a unique experience. The food tastes good and the restaurant has a friendly feel to it.

The menu is somewhat limited, but we didn’t mind all that much. The food that is offered, which ranges from burritos to tacos to salads, is well prepared and tastes fresh. There are a variety of meats to choose from, such as chicken, steak, and pork, should you want any in your meal. Chipotle’s prices are fair, considering the amount of food you get. The portions are very generous; we have never left the restaurant hungry.

The restaurant itself has a friendly vibe due to its employees, but its style is somewhat uncomfortable. The inside has a cold, metallic feeling that is off-putting. The chairs are also uncomfortable to sit in and the music that is played is odd. On the other hand, the restaurant is fairly sized and room is generally not a concern as there is outdoor seating. Parking is not an issue either as there is plenty of spaces available.

Chipotle’s staff is friendly and cheerful. Customers are taken care of by enthusiastic employees who create a friendly environment. We have never had an issue with any member of staff at the restaurant.

Overall, Chipotle Mexican Grill is a good eat, at a fair price. The food is fresh, it tastes good, and the portions are generous. The staff is friendly and enthusiastic, and while we didn’t enjoy the atmosphere, it was certainly unique.
