Love going to this Chipotle because they have super fast service and, Carlos, the manager, has staffed this location with a great, friendly team. The food is fresh and the tables are all always nice and clean!!! read more

If I could put zero stars, I would. This place is the WORST chipotle I've ever been to. The portions are so small and not only that but I had a sticker in my burrito from God knows where. The service was not as good as the other Chipotle's. Mind you they weren't even that busy. The lady at the register dropped my penny and didn't bother to pick it up for me. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Build Your Own Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Downey, California

Haven't been to a Chipotle in at least 5 or 6yrs. Went yesterday to pick up a vegan burrito bowl a couple vegan hard Shell tacos and even copped a bag of chips taking that chance of them being stale (at one of the staffs suggestion) but was not disappointed. My burrito bowl was lettuce rice black and pinto beans vegetables corn pico de gallo a little cheese sour cream and Guac. My tacos were basically almost identical minus the corn pinto beans and Guac. Rounded it out with Chips. Ai was pleased and satisfied. The service was great. Staff were on their game getting me in taking good care of my order sending me home to a satisfying meal. All in a reasonable period of time. And at a reasonable price. The place was a buzz with several people already there and folk coming in. Gratitude and give thanks for a satisfying meal experience Chipotle Cooks and Staff. read more

Convenient location for me but they are out of things often & they aren't in good moods so I always go with a good attitude. Do better with inventory and quality. I eat chipotle weekly btw! read more

Honestly I never come to any chipotles in years and today I decided to give it a go since I see a lot of advertisements on Tik tok. Being 57 I really have the set foods I eat as far as take out goes. Well I'm here to say that I love this location and I love the food. The meat was soft and cooked perfectly. The burrito I bought was thick and full of goodness service was quick but that didn't mean they cut corners. Very clean place. Super nice staff. I'll be getting more chipotle and all because of the great food and service from this location! read more

Funny taking my Latin mom to chipotle ! The portions were too big for her. She kept telling the employee that she was gonna share and she wouldn't be able to eat all that. I said mom he's not judging you she repeated I'm sharing this with my husband lol . She was impressed with the food. She thought it was very fresh and she really liked the chips that had a little bit of lemon on them. Five stars from a fantastic Mexican cook mom is a big deal ! read more

Seriously? Plastic in the food? I was enjoying my bowl and was very pleased this location gave a good amount of meat. I was thinking hey i like this spot will come again vs apollo way location. Then while eating I realized there's something wrong and take a big piece of this like hard plastic out my mouth. Totally unacceptable like wtf. Should have taken a picture. The piece of plastic is still probably in my car. Never getting food from here again. Trust totally gone. read more

Is it normal to not refill items at 9:25pm when you close at 11? They were out steak, cheese, lettuce, and other items.

One of the worst Chipotle locations in the area. This is the third time they screw up my order when using the app. Just got home to see they forgot to add my Vinaigrette for my salad, gave me the wrong sides and forgot my side of queso blanco. The order wasn't ready by estimated time. A burrito that was in the order was extremely sub par, the meat just tasted off and had a ton of lettuce. Frustrating part is there is no way to get a refund. The app has a bot and there no way to get a live person for assistance. So I'm out $ for their incompetence. If you order from here, check your order to make sure nothing is missing. As for me I'm done with this location. My patience is running short with Chipotle and their poor customer service options to address issues. No, I don't want a free drink with my next order, I want you to get the damn orders right the first time. read more

This place really isn't that good. I came here just because it was close to home, and I thought, "Let me give this place another try." First, they charged me for extra chicken when I only asked for a steak and chicken bowl with no extras. The portions are already small, and the quality is mediocre. Even with the extra they supposedly gave me, it seemed like a regular portion to me. read more

Absolutely Disgusting - My sister Threw Up After Finding a Ball in Her Food What the hell is going on at Chipotle?! This was by far the most disgusting and unacceptable experience we've ever had in any restaurant -- and it happened at a place that claims to serve "quality food." My wife ordered a bowl, took a few bites, and suddenly bit into a BALL -- a literal fing BALL -- inside her food.* Not a bean. Not a spice. A BALL. Something completely inedible and dangerous. Right after that, she started throwing up uncontrollably. Multiple times. Violently. We were terrified. This isn't just gross -- this is a massive health hazard, and honestly, it could've been life-threatening. What if she choked? What if it was sharp? What kind of kitchen allows this kind of thing to slip into food? Shame on Chipotle for this level of pure negligence. You've completely lost our trust. And if this is how careless you are with what you serve your customers, you deserve to be shut down. Fix your kitchens. Fire whoever's responsible. And pray nobody else gets hurt. never coming back to chipotle ever in the US. a $30 meal that should be enjoyable. what a shame. read more

I try not to bug fast food workers bc I know they already put up with a lot. But wth is going on with this Chipotle? I've only been here 2 times but that's enough for me. The mobile order said my food was ready. I arrived to find all these ppl standing by the register, looking angry. I asked the cashier for my order, but she kept insisting I had to wait my turn because everyone before me is waiting for rice. I had to tell her 3 times that I got a quesadilla. Then I had to tell her a quesadilla doesn't have rice. My car was outside running bc I thought I would be in and out. But she just kept avoiding eye contact with me. Finally I get my order 15 mins later. I get home and it looks like they just threw it in there. You can just tell they don't care about the food. read more

Food was good but other issues. We went for a fundraiser for Lake Center Middle School so we drove out of the city to go here. They didn't seem to be able to keep the food stocked, place was busy. Half of the tables were dirty and they didn't have enough staff for the large crowd that showed because it was a fundraiser. The Diet Coke had "out of order" on it and 0 had no syrup. I told the gentleman with glasses and he said he'd look at it or refund our drinks. We ate and didn't bother to get a refund since the machine wasn't fixed and it was a fundraiser for school. The problem was the receipt didn't show a donation amount. Hopefully they do another Chipotle but the one in Norwalk on imperial. Will the school get its funds? Don't know if ever return to this specific store. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Has to be the worst chipotle I have ever been to. Meat was cold one worker helped a line full of people. Disaster - Mexican Near Me - Downey, California

Review #591.2 None Elite Squad Let me start by saying I love Chipotle, I always have but this one in particular is one of the ones that doesn't live up to what I've known Chipotle to be. 1st ill start with the Portion amount... it doesn't matter if the Worker is a Male or female..they're all trained to give you as less as possible so I guess maybe they don't run out? or maybe so they don't have to make more or restock more? or maybe so they can save money and that's probably what it is. Let's say I get a Bowl.. 1st question is what kind of rice..let's say I pick brown rice..they'll add a scoop but it doesn't even fill up the plate.. sometimes on the person before me or after me I see them spread it out but for me for some reason they leave it as is..then beans..let's say I say Black beans ..less than a simple scoop is added all fast like if they really don't care. Then someone else takes over.. you get your protein lets say Chicken..i mean it doesnt even fill up their scoop.. they look at you with a you better not say anything look.. and i see it in other customers..they want to say something but these employees are so trained to use their command presence that you have no choice but to keep moving on..let's say I pay EXTRA for queso..they add a strip..I mean a quick I don't care strip you add other stuff corn..sour cream or even Guac! which is what they call it..GUAC! then "Large" chips that if you look inside with inflation i guess they're only filled a Quarter of the bag..and don't get me started with the freshness cause they're not..the right portion of seasoning YES but stale not fresh. Anyways..then you see what your paying and you feel like horrible paying what you're paying and wish you could've said something or just stopped your order and left but you dont..and you open your bowl and see that the flavor is not all there. I'm very disappointed because this is the closest one I have and I repeat..I love Chipotle even if it Pricy but this place is either not up to their standards or they're just trained to not to care about what they're giving you.. Don't get me wrong ..if you don't like the portion they're giving you..you can ask for more rice, beans, corn, lettuce or whatever they don't charge more for and they'll do it..BUT LOOK HOW ANNOYED they look when they do it. Parking is limited infront or surrounding on most days but there's more to the side if you don't mind walking a couple steps. there's no way I'm giving 5 stars..I know they have plenty of 4 and 5 stars that they don't need mine. read more

Just here to update. This place still sucks. One person handling food and cashier with a long line at dinner time. Bad management. Not the employees' fault here. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Line doesn't show people behind me also complaining about one behind the counter. - Mexican Near Me - Downey, California

Honestly they skimp out on everything, even if you PAY EXTRA for it. I had recently ordered chipotle online and they pretty much do this for most online orders where they decide to just not put anything in it. I'm surprised they are going bankrupt on the amount pennies they have save by giving less portions to customers. read more

Food is always cold at Chipotle. No matter what location I go to. Idk how that's possible. At this particular location every single table was dirty when I went in. There was no soap in the restroom to wash my hands. They completely forgot to give us our kids meal quesadilla. They had to come give it to us at the table after the fact. Once we sat down to eat they had no line or customers and they just stood thier talking instead of going out to clean the tables or sweep the floor. The manager really should do a better job with this restaurant. read more

Chipotle I'm going to need to you to get it together. I keep coming back for the vinaigrette. I ordered for pickup and my food wasn't ready upon arrival. My vinaigrette had spilled in the bag and the chicken was burned :( this was the first time ordering a salad since that's the only way I can get vinaigrette. I thought a salad was supposed to have more lettuce however it hardly had any. Additionally it was only the outer leaves of the lettuce which were wilted. I did go back in the location to let the employee know my dressing has spilled and he gave me another one. I appreciate him giving me another but it didn't fix the taste of the burned chicken or the wilted lettuce. read more

This location has to be the worst in SoCal. There is always going to be multiple items from the menu not available . Then when asked how long until it will be ready you either get 15-20 minute wait time or an answer of they ran out. But will see them use the items they so called ran out of for an online order. Zero sense of preparation. Even after waiting the exceeded timing the quality of the food is highly dissatisfying to say the least . This comes after visiting multiple times with yet it seems a constant result read more

They gave me stale chips after another customer complained about stale chips. I ordered medium salsa and they gave me hot. When i told them it was wrong they lied to my face after i was able to see they had medium salsa. Horrible service and the place was dirtier then a fast food restaurant should be read more

This place has really gone down in the past year. A couple weeks ago, I was told there was no chicken and it would be a 10-15 minute wait, so I moved on, and then literally the next person had new chicken. Zero communication with the kitchen. Today, it was still chaotic as they were trying to refill all the lettuce, beans, etc at 11:40 which is ramping up for the lunch crowd. Then, I get home, to find a lovely BUG waiting for me!!! Gross!!! I call them to let them know to throw out their lettuce, and nobody answers! I tried to warn them.... read more

This place is the worst . They have one person arriving , taking her gloves off, charge your food. While they have 10 people waiting in line. I came here for my lunch which is only 30 min and it took me 27 min to get in line. They need to get more people here. It's ridiculous to have one person doing all these jobs .. do better chipotle read more

Came this evening after going to 2 other Chipotle's, that had old food and we're extremely dirty. (Paramount & alondra & Apollo) I must say this has to be the best Chipotle bowl Ive had in a while. The restaurant was clean the servers were still putting out fresh food 1 hour and 15 minutes before closing. And no one seemed unhappy to be at work like at the other 2 locations. I might have to make this my new go to for Chipotle cravings. Cheers yo the closing staff on May 9 2024. read more

When I got there John (worker) was working so hard! He is keen on providing excellent service. The man in the kitchen also moved quickly, proving verbal cues to John when trays were ready. I appreciate their speed. The food however was a bit bland, the beans and meat tasted as though they had no seasoning/salt. I ordered chips and cheese as well! The cheese wasn't hot. It was room temp. The bag of chips was filled less than half, I asked John if he could give me a new bag which he did. Customer service is pretty good in my experience here the food however does need work. read more

I am a fan of businesses - chains or not - that support youth fundraisers. Chipotle is one of them. My daughters' elementary school had a fundraiser here last month. For the most part, I was satisfied with the food. It was served hot and fresh. The only hiccup was when I noticed that our drinks were not packed. Easy fix. The employees do this for you during COVID-19 restrictions, though. Order Details from 3/9/21: + Steak Kids Build Your Own, Kid's Chips, Black Beans, Cheese, 2 Soft Flour Tortillas, & Organic Chocolate Milk = $5.35 + Large Chips & Large Guacamole = $6.55 +Carnitas Burrito Fajita Veggies, Fresh Tomato Salsa, Sour Cream, Cheese, Romaine Lettuce, Brown Rice, Black Beans, 22 fl oz Tractor Organic Hibiscus Lemonade = $10.85 + Chicken Burrito Fresh Tomato Salsa, Cheese, White Rice, Pinto Beans, Chips & Queso Blanco, 22 fl oz Tractor Organic Berry Agua Fresca = $14.45 Total = $37.20 Fundraiser = $0.01 Subtotal = $37.19 Tax = $3.06 National Young Farmers Coalition Donation = $0.75 Total = $41.00 It's also worth mentioning that the food has seemingly and vastly improved since my 8-year hiatus. read more

A reliable staple in the city of Downey for over 10 years. The quality is always good for the most part. Sometimes the chicken can have a bit too much salt, but other than that it is pretty consistently good. I do appreciate the later close times now. And the employee with the beard and glasses is the best, great attitude and service. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - When you see this sight, all is right with the world - Mexican Near Me - Downey, California

Three strikes, you're out. I work in the field all over the San Gabriel Valley and down into this area. Chiplotle is my go to for lunch and I eat at a lot of them. I have over 10000 rewards points so so do the math. I'm pretty familiar with the chain. I will cross this one off my list. The portions have no standard and I feel like my lunch is at the mercy of the mood of the person dishing it up. I got half a scoop of rice which is cheap. It didn't even cover the bottom of the bowl. The beans were thrown in there and the woman serving literally shook out some of then chicken from the scoop before putting it in my bowl. This has happened here before but after 3 times of feeling like I'm paying sit down restaurant dish prices for what equates to a fast food snack, I won't be coming back to this one again. While Chipotle will still get my money, of there is a franchise owner of this one, they will not. I'm not even going to get into the lack of cleanliness like food scraps on tables and debris on the floor or the personal convos that have no business taking place right at the serving station in front of customers. Ya gotta do better to make customers happy. It's really not difficult. read more

Is it just me or is this once upon a Time great brand just not great anymore? I ordered my food online and walking in the place was thrashed. The team members look stressed and just plain tired. I ordered a burrito bowl Because I was planning to eat in my car. Upon receiving my food, I verified with the team member that I had a fork and napkins in there. She did inform me that they were out of utensils for the rest of the day. This is two hours before closing. How am I supposed to eat my burrito bowl? who knows but I would've never asked. They would've never told me. long story short by the time I got home and ate my food. It was cold. I'm sure it's not the team members fault just someone needs to look into it and pay attention to the operations . read more

I used to love coming here because it's right by my job but the service here is horrible now. It's is 12:55pm on 12/11, the cashier was rude by far the most rude employee I have ever encountered. I went to pick up my online order and you have to wait for the cashier to go to the back to grab it and she refused to grab my order, instead would ignore me and just help the customers there. Usually employee will finish the payment with the customer ordering in the restaurant then grab the bag from the back since they are right by the door. She did not. She helped a total of 5 customers and would not grab my bag in between the gaps she had. Finally another employee came and she grabbed my food and I had my hand out to receive the bag and she just did a little toss onto the counter and walks away. I would now rather drive to a different location then going to this one. I thought it was just me but there was an older man who wanted Coca Cola and asked the cashier if they had coke and she looks at him with an annoyed look and says no. Apparently they didn't have coke or Diet Coke. So instead of looking annoyed how about tell the customer that you are out before making that sell. I've worked in customer service for over 10 years so I know it can be a lot but when someone is being kind to you, why belittle people. I also got to work and there was sour cream outside of the burrito wrapper and all over the bowl below it. It didn't leak from inside the wrapper so it just shows how messy this place is on top of the rude customer service. read more

This is the 2nd time I've been charged for multiple items that I didn't ask for. The last time I ordered 3 chips, was charged for 2 and only given one. After calling the Google number. After NOT being connected with this store location but instead a rep at a call center. The employee sent me an email to get a replacement. When I went back today they said the email was NOT good enough. I ordered 2 drinks and was charged for 4. I ordered 3 guacamole on the side and was charged for 4. I don't feel it is a simple mistake as when you order at Chipotle it is ALL MADE TO ORDER. To be charged extra when the order is given makes no sense to me.? I'm going to have to triple-check the order before paying and hold up the line. It was interesting how rushed I was for having a "large" order that barely broke 100$, keep in mind the upcharge for the things I didn't get. read more

Dining area is unappealing to eat at, workers there don't greet or say thank you, barely acknowledge you, & to top it off they don't put utensils or napkins for your mobile order.

Worst served chipotle burrito bowl ever. As a loyal customer I know what to receive since I always order the exact same thing. Hate complaining but this honestly deserved this review and this is not the first time i've encountered bad experiences from this location. As usual I order through the mobile and pick up on counter. To start off the order was not ready at the time given on the app and waited for maybe 5-10 minutes, not much but used to promptness in most cases. Literally was served half the portions of most ingredients except for cheese and sour cream, they were more than generous with that. The rest of the items on the order were the same boat. The saddest looking salad with a huge squeeze of sour cream on top. A couple of fat chunks in the barbacoa to top it all off. This is honestly the first negative experience at Chipotle and honestly skeptical of giving this location a second try. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Saddest burrito bowl ever! - Mexican Near Me - Downey, California

Went in at night around 845pm and that was a mistake. I wanted to try their brisket. Long story short, very small portions along with having burnt small pieces. Maybe it was like that because, they ran out or it was going to close in a couple of hours. Everything else was cold too and stale (Rice, Tortillas). Don't go to Downey location after 8pm. Im not one to complain but inflation along with bad food is not ok. I would of rather of them cancelled my order saying food is running out and not fresh. read more

Horrible Experience and Scary!!!  Walked in and the guy took a good minute before he put his gloves and stared at me. No welcome No how can i help just stared. Anyhow I said may I have 4 bowls please all white rice and pinto beans except 1 with out beans.  He threw the food in the bowl splashing everywhere. He said what protein each meal? I said I rather give you my order 1 by 1 because I have had bad experience in the past and my orders have been wrong. OMG I must of said something wrong because he rolled his eyes and put his hands in his waist MAD shaking his head.  I asked "Are you ok" he said yes why I responded because your being very rude and throwing my food in the bowl.   We continued with the order and he was still rolling his eyes and he almost got my 4 orders wrong ‍At this point I just wanted to get out of there I felt ABUSED and missed treated I paid for my order and asked to speak to the manager. As soon as he heard me say that he was mumbling something refused to give me his name nor did he had a name badge or anything so I took a picture. He was fuming came across the cashier desk to confront me almost snached my phone. I was SCARED for my life NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO OR RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION  As soon as the manager came out the guy continued to help others, still giving attitude to others who were at no fault ‍ It was apparent that the worker is a bully even the manager didn't know how to react all she said was ill have a talk with him. Poor Staff for Management hope they train their workers to provide Excellent Customer Service because at the end of the Day I'm paying for my food is not Free.  After many years coming here is unfortunate but it will be my last from a person who was there almost weekly and spend $60 - 80 each time not to mentioned the catering for my businesses no more from this location you don't have my business nor money. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH HOPE OWNERS TAKE THIS SERIOUS IF THEY WANT TO SUCCEED! read more
