Chipotle is now open just of I-93 Exit 17 in Concord (Penacook). This is their second location in Concord, which offers made to order tacos, burritos, bowls salads, chips, guacamole, kids meals and cold drinks (Coke fountain drinks, iced tea, bottled drinks, bottled Mexican Coke). The place is order at the counter in person (go down the line as your food is made) or online through the Chipotle app. There is also a drive up pick up window. The place is electronic and card payment only. There is a seating area in front of the counter.
I've been to the other Concord location on Loudon Road many times over the years with mixed results in terms of hit or miss service (improved now), and no issues with the food. I was on my way back from VT and I was getting hungry. Since I had an offer on my Chipotle app for free extra meat, I decided to try out the new Whitney Road location and placed an app order for a Carne Asada Burrito Bowl with double meat ($13.50 plus tax, after discount) with extra brown rice, extra black beans, and more toppings and salsas. After ordering, I drove about 13 minutes from Sanbornton to the Chipotle off Exit 17W and my order was bagged and ready on the shelf when I arrived. This Chipotle seems more relaxed and less lunch crowd busy than the Loudon Road location.
Anyways, I headed back to the office to eat my lunch. The bowl was filled with all of my requested toppings including the tender slices of medium well carne asada, a slightly more meat than if I ordered the standard amount of meat. The flavors of the bowl were pretty good and expected. I would stop by this location again, if I'm in the area. read more
