Used to always see the chipotle commercials on tv so I had to pull up.. Chicken bowl.(chicken has a bomb taste it's labeled "regular flavor" seasoned good tho) bowl with brown rice, guacamole , sour cream , cheese , avocado , pico de gallo , little bit of beans was mouth watery ! 5 stars worthy I'll go back read more

My husband paid for double meat in his bowl, but there were large chunks of fat instead. Went up to talk with them about how much of it wasn't meat and couldn't be eaten. I asked if I could get the same amount more of actual meat, but was told no. Asked if there was anything they could do for me since it was inedible, again was told no. So, definitely not a good experience or quality food especially for the price. We will not go back! read more

They were so unnecessarily rude, We redeem our points for a free SIDE of guacamole and they didn't give it to us , the lady insisted that it wasn't on the side and that it goes on the entree when it literally said on the receipt we had a free SIDE of guacamole, they wanted us to pay 5$ more , I checked and they didn't even end up adding the guacamole on the entree , the lady was so rude about it for no reason. read more

Service is slow just one worker in the front while there was a big line, the food overall good just didn't have some ready to serve

I visited this location again back in February 2026. It was a Saturday and I was surprised to see that it was not crowded or busy at all during lunch hours.. approximately 2 PM. I typically place my order in app and just pick up from shelf on my way out. This time I told myself I would give this place another chance except I should just stand in line and instruct the employee on how I wanted my bowl to prepared. I walked to the back area to excuse myself to the restroom before going to stand in line to create my order in person. Both doors were locked so I stood to the side and waited until an occupant exited. Remember how I indicated that there was really no traffic in the restaurant and it was quite dead so the only individuals who were on the premises besides the employees were myself and 2 occupants inside the facilities. I think one other person was with one of these occupants and making it 4 total "patrons" inside the restaurant. Now after waiting approximately 3 to 4 minutes, an occupant exited and I went inside. As I was inside the most private place *legally speaking* that any guest of a commercial establishment could be allowed to use, in less time than I spent waiting on a person to exit, I saw the door handle moving (attempt to open). so I figured it was another guest that would realize the door was locked because someone else was inside. I did not react or respond. Very shortly after the indication of door handle movement, someone started to knock on the door. again I didn't react or respond as I have the right to use the facilities just how everyone else does. The initial knocking was unusual but not alarming. The continuous knocking escalated to the point of banging loudly as if it was an emergency or as if it was LE. As the second round of knocking continued, a person shouts something to the effect of, "IM GOING TO OPEN THE DOOR, THIS IS THE MANAGER"! Which is not only inappropriate this is unlawful conduct and/or highly illegal. So I respond in a controlled manner "I am using the restroom". I really wanted to say, "please do so I would love for you to give me a reason to sue you!" Either directly and/or vicariously. although I knew the vicarious liability factor would have gone way over her head. I decided to just document this event by preserving the record accordingly just in case I decide to make this matter formal by forwarding a complaint to the appropriate sources instead of communicating my concerns with incompetent individual or individuals (employees) in the restaurant . Now after I said that I was using the restroom aka occupying the facilities, **crickets**. Pure silence. even after I walked out of the restroom, there was no one outside waiting on me to exit. presumably explain the severity of "the managers" concerns or the emergency situation that could have possibly created the urgent need to wrongfully violate my privacy rights in this manner. As a result of this unnecessary encounter, I decided NOT to order a burrito bowl directly at the counter. I mean who would patronize this restaurant after an extremely unnecessary encounter by a "manager" who is not only incompetent but unreasonably informed about the fact that a MANAGER is just another entry level EMPLOYEE, that can be EASILY replaced. The good news is that in CA there is no law that enables a "manager" aka employee with EXTRA statutory rights to forcibly enter a restroom while a patron is occupying the facility. Even if there was an emergency or a serious urgency to trespass, an employee is NOT immune from civil liability. read more

If you have time to check out my reviews, you will notice it is rare for me to give out low ratings. That being said, if I give a low-star review and then give it another chance to see if it was just a random lapse of character. So, that is what I am doing here. I am from Visalia and I frequent the Chipotles within my town, without issue. 98% of the time, everything is exactly how I like and want. My main issue was the disorganization of the staff during the process. I know exactly what I want. Unfortunately, there was a lot of side conversation, and minimal conversation with me, the customer. We are all aware of the price we are paying for that bowl. For many years, it has been acceptable because the staff will, for lack of better words, " Load it up". That was not the case. There was hardly any rice or beans. I got a minimal amount of chicken and even had to ask for a bit more. I am also not extra, but I know the difference between a Chipotle serving, an extra serving, and the lack thereof. Mine was more of the latter. Next, the additional toppings. I got cheese, salsa, which they put almost no salsa in, so I asked for extra on the side, and they didn't even fill that up. Y'all, I was going to be paying $16+ for this thing, and you can't even give me an adequate amount of salsa that costs you nothing, and your company maybe $0.0000000006. (Insert laughing face emoji here.) Then the lettuce. Meek. I got Guac on the side, that was fine. Then I got a large bag of chips, and it was 1/3 of the way full. With all that being said, I will give this location another chance because of the quality of the food. The service was not. ** Two Stars for the establishment being clean, and what bit of food I did get in the bowl was good. read more

The food is fine...good as always! The service is good, but there's a tall girl that I presume is a manager there that is killing the ratings for the place. She wouldn't give me a tray unless I ordered 3 or more items!!! I love Chipotle, but I'm having trouble understanding how their business model can be supported by a choice to keep this type of employee on. Maybe she's just following orders...? In any case, it ain't good! Do better Chipotle!! read more

Here's a polished, sharp Yelp-style review that still sounds like a real human who's had enough: I came into Chipotle on Double Protein Day expecting a smooth, straightforward experience. What I got instead was one of the most frustrating and poorly handled customer interactions I've had in a long time. First off, the promotion itself was handled in the most stupid and backwards way possible. Even though I was physically standing inside the restaurant, I was told I had to order through the app to get the double protein deal. No signage explaining this. No heads-up beforehand. Just a shrug and a "you need to use the app" after I was already in line. If you're running a promotion that requires app-only ordering, maybe communicate that clearly--or better yet, don't punish in-store customers for actually showing up. What made it worse was the staff. The employees had terrible people skills--blatantly unhelpful, dismissive, and borderline rude. No attempt to explain the process, no empathy, no effort to help troubleshoot. It felt like I was inconveniencing them by asking basic questions about their own promotion. Customer service was nonexistent. Chipotle used to be about quick, friendly service and decent food. Now it feels like an app company that happens to sell burritos and treats in-person customers like an afterthought. If this is the future--confusing app-only gimmicks and staff who don't care--then Chipotle seriously needs to rethink how it treats its customers. I won't be back anytime soon. read more

Honestly this may be the longest running joke in Tulare. The manager at this location is almost combative. All inquiries are met with an argumentative dismissive tone. We are dealing with our own version of the soup Nazi here only taller and a woman. Been here dozens of times 100 percent of the time she's barking and or rolling her eyes at employees, it is so awkward to be in the location. The food is great it's chipotle, the location is clean and orderly it's just that manager is very hard to be around. In reading the other yelp reviews this seems to be a running theme. I can't wait to see this play out. read more

Food is always amazing I love chipotle but I may stop coming there is this one tall girl in there which I assume is the manager is always a jerk to the people ordering and also to her employees I get it's stressful but is that hard to throw on a smile and show a little more hospitality I may never come here again 1 star if I could rate certain aspects I would do -5 stars for service 4 for food and ambiance over all 1 star do to upper management would recommend laying off manager or whatever she is read more

I just left this location right now and the staff was so unpleasant that it was uncomfortable. If you don't like working with the public why work with the public. I frequent chipotle a lot and it's always so hit and miss with serving sizes as well as staff. Clearly today bothered me enough to post a review Unfortunately I think the female who helped us may be the manager I hope I am wrong though about her being the manager as she should be spoken to from her manager read more

I gave this one another shot after 9 months. Unfortunately the same manager is still there and still appears to be rude to customers (from what I saw a few people in front of me). Looks as if she's also unkind to her employees from what I saw. My steak in my bowl was cold which was sad, but the rest of the food tasted fine. Strangest part is that they don't have forks. All of the fork containers are filled with spoons. I went to the counter and asked for a fork, to which the rude manager replied "we don't have those" as if I was stupid for asking... Lots of trash on the floor, not a great ambiance. Will probably keep going to Visalia for chipotle. This one would benefit from a new manager. read more

I came to order in person, the lady taking my order was friendly and genuinely had the right mindset of right and wrong. As she added rice to start my order she noticed something that shouldn't have been in the rice. She asked a coworker who I assume was a manager or higher level employee, he said to throw it out and start over with which she replied should I throw out all of the rice to which he said no. To me if anything needed to be thrown out that came out of that rice container then the whole thing needs to be gone. The gentleman that advised her needs to be sat down by higher ups and taught how to handle that situation better. read more

When ordering my food on 6/4 at approximately 430-5 in Tulare the manager was preparing my food, she was very fast, spoke over me, didn't add my vinaigrette after asking for it twice, then in the middle of our conversation while I was thinking about getting guacamole she (a WHITE female) asked, "Quero algo más" as if I didn't know English when the whole conversation was English. There is a term for this it's radicalization. After getting home I realized she filled up my queso cheese half way so I asked to get her name to make a complaint and she said " be respectful when making the complain because it goes straight to me". Poor costumer service especially coming from a manager, what a shame. read more

The employees here visibly get upset and crack an attitude if you walk in within 2 hours of closing. The past couple of times I go at 8pm to grab some late dinner, knowing this locations closes at 10pm. The last time I was in there I ate with my bf at 8pm and a male worker started slamming the dust pan and broom and the chair right next to us. Clearly he was upset and we got the feeling we weren't welcomed anymore so we left. Now tonight This time same thing this time I get Togo at 8pm and there was an older woman with glasses took my order and she had an attitude like hurry up type of attitude. I asked for pico and she snapped back loud with a rude tone "we're out of pico". Caught me off guard. The male cashier was watching the whole time and when I turned to him he was very sweet and smiled with a nice tone asked if I'd like some chips. I get people have bad days but dang. read more

Horrible service every time. The ones in the polo shirts look absolutely miserable. I don't know how many times I've came in and they look like they want nothing to do with my business. The portions are awful, food is hit or miss, and the staff is the unfriendliest set of people I've encountered. Most of the time I'll drive out of my way to Visalia chipotle's instead of this one. read more

I asked for extra toppings and got rice only with a sprinkle little toppings. If I could give less than 1 star I would this is a disappointment. Like I said extra toppings and they did the opposite that's just amazing shows you how much they payed attention in school. LOSERS Also don't that chipotle AI that responds to you does nothing it's a waste of time. read more

This Chipotle is absolutely awful. Avoid at all costs. It is worth it just to drive to the Visalia one. The employees here have absolutely zero ability to do their job to even the minimum standard. It's to the point that it is impressive how much they lack basic knowledge and critical thinking skills. Today I tried to use a reward QR code. I scanned it. The lady working the line next to the cashier looked over and said "did it take the item off". The cashier said "yes. It says it did". Spoiler alert! It did not. I asked for my receipt to be sure, because I knew she was just saying that so she didn't have to deal with it. And pointed out it in fact did not remove the item. She said "oh yeah sorry". I said "ok, well can you ring it back up and then take those off". And the lady standing next to her said they can't do that unless I buy something else for 5 dollars or more. I'm sorry, what? You can't refund me and re-complete the transaction to take the rewards item off? She insisted I would have to buy something else. I expected the absolute bare minimum of them ensuring the QR code went through, or even just not lying to me about it, and I couldn't even get that. I'm telling you, stay away from this one. read more

This star is for the manager going off on an employee the whole time we sat in the dining area. She's loud and the conversation should not being takin place in the kitchen. If it's an employee dispute then it should be talked amongst them in the back like a professional. This manager needs to be retrained on how managers conduct them selves. Be professional. Good was great just the manager is obnoxious. read more

I had to ask, and had to pay for three scoops of chicken that equal to one scoop of chicken. The lady serving was rude and dismissive, and apparently there was a boss or a manager. There were glasses, some tall, white Girl rude as hell, too, knowing they charge me way too much for some small ass servings. read more

Just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the wonderful service from Brooke specifically. When I first arrived I noticed the staff had a situation that required the police to come out and I just wanted to emphasize the amount of professionalism and top notch customer service from your employees during an emergency. Still got all my food fast and fresh! read more

This place has gone down hill. I order food from door dash. To start with they gave the driver the wrong food nothing I ordered. I called the store they said I had bring it back in to see if it was their fault. The person on the phone claimed to be the manager.B.S. no manager would to to a customer like this girl talked to me. I Live in this town. I'll never go here again. The also wanted to blame door dash. The food at best ok. Still warm . Customer service sucks!!! This place needs better servers. read more

I went to chipotle on November 11th, I had ordered a bowl and got one beer. I left and decided I wanted to go another order another order of food and get one more beer. I was refused service and told I could only order 1 beer. Basically I was denied service by this belligerent manager. Judging from the previous reviews about this location, it has a consistent " Customer Service " complaints about this lady general manager. That's a bad look for Chipotle as a brand, where's the integrity and accountability? read more

If i could give this less that one star i would. Fat lady tall as hell ruined my experience. She was being so rude to the customers but mainly staff. It was so gross to see i felt so uncomfortable and embarrassed for them. Such a weird environment n makes me wanna never come back. read more

The manager with a shit look her face will get a scoop of chicken and wiggle it for it to fall off. Double chicken is regular chicken with her. Insane I paid 15 dollars for a light ass bowl read more

Rude service! me(17)and my sister(14) accidentally ordered the wrong meat before paying and wanted to change but wasn't allowed to unless we paid for a whole meal. After we payed with apple pay we had a few cents due and the tall white female worker spoke under her breath "that's embarrassing" to minors. 3 other softball girls heard her after we walked away. read more

I mentioned in my original review that this Chipotle location is a hit or miss, which is pretty much like every Chipotle. Unfortunately, this location has become more of a miss location. Slow service and dried out food because employees are to lazy to keep things stocked and fresh. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Chicken and Steak Bowl with Guacamole and Baby Chips - Mexican Near Me - Tulare, California

A Caucasian woman that helped me, who worked at 3:30pm on a Thursday, gave the worst customer service. I assume she was the manager because she was telling everyone what to do but yet she doesn't know how to help out customers respectfully. Please don't get into customer service if you don't want to help people with kindness. read more

Gave me a skimpy bowl ,its hit and miss with this place ,they act like the guacamole is hella skimpy!

Workers aren't friendly and rush you. Portion sizes are off. They can't even cook fajitas. Need to be retrained asap.

When I say I never leave reviews,I mean never.i downloaded yelp just to leave a review of this place.An older Hispanic lady took my order today,and it was the worst expirence of my life.she was so rude and impatient.she acted like every scoop of anything she gave me came directly out her pocket.If you are having a bad day,and not looking for the final straw I suggest not coming here. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Steak bowl guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Tulare, California

I went to the chipotle in Tulare and the Walmart parking lot the manager of that place wow so unprofessional I was embarrassed for her employee she was literally picking on that girl. The girl was putting away some catering boxes because somebody had picked up some catering and then she was making the bags for Uber eats or one of those eating places and the manager started yelling at her while she was on the floor telling her she needed to get on the floor and start working in the back because it's almost lunchtime. She could've asked her nicely and she could've helped her, but she didn't help her. She's going to yell at her And then when she was in the in the back helping her with the food, she yelled at her again and then has the audacity to say to me. You wouldn't think that you would think the brand new way are acting, but they've been here for over two years who complains to a customer with a customer is already not happy about you complaining to your employees And my food was all dried up. She should concentrate more on that. I'm sorry this is not a good one, but I really felt sorry for her employees. You could tell she really bullied them and not just her quite a few of them. Couple me as I was walking out the door quietly, but they thank me. read more

I wish there was another location in tulare because unfortunately this location has the worst customer service. Every single time my co workers and I dread going here because we have to have our order taken by the most unfriendly, rude workers. read more

I wish I had read the reviews before getting food from here. I will not be eating at ANY chipotle ever again because of how bad my experience was. First of all, my husband went in to pickup some food. He was not wearing a mask. He asked if they had masks and they said they did not provide them and he needed to leave and place his order outside. Okay, fine. So he placed the order through the app and went to pick it up inside, without a mask, which apparently was "okay". This wasn't particularly disturbing to me because I normally take a mask with me and don't have issues about it, my husband however was not pleased. Anyway, he brings the food home and I don't know if the people were mad at him or what, but the serving size of my burrito bowl was half the bowl. I didn't get rice so I was expecting maybe more lettuce or something as filler. It was literally the smallest serving of everything except the red salsa. Now I normally have really spicy salsa or hot sauce on things, but this salsa was hands down, the spiciest chipotle salsa I've ever had. My husband thought so too, and he normally likes habanero and ghost pepper hot sauce. Well that should have been a red flag because a couple hours after we ate, my stomach started hurting and I had really bad indigestion/heart burn. I took a pepto bismol and fell asleep only to wake up hours later with the worst stomach issues I've had in years. My husband had the same issues. Suffice it to say, I have been in and out of the bathroom and lying in bed because of how much pain I am in. I've taken tums now too and eaten and my stomach still hurts. If you can afford to be out for a day, want to not get your money's worth, and be treated like an outcast, then eat here. Otherwise, turn and run! read more

As Chipotle's go, this one did their job. By that I mean they gave me what I needed and expected with some decent service. It's nothing to shout from the rooftops, but it did meet the standard I'd expect from the reigning king of fast casual Mexican-ish food. Considering the late hour in which I stopped by, the food was fresh and didn't look like it had been sitting out for ages. I got my usual - a bowl with double chicken, salsa but no guac. They hooked up generous scoops and didn't leave me asking for more. The final test (and this depends a lot on your time of visit) was the service. Also considering the time, the folks behind the counter were all friendly. I even chatted with the cashier about football. Not bad for 9 pm on a weekday. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Tulare, California

Not only do they Give you small portions, but they also give you food poisoning. would not suggest this location.

Manager is extremely rude. Barley serves any food. You would think after coming here for so long she would at least smile at customers but no. She always has a face and is criticizing her employees in spanish in front of customers. I wish Tulare had another chipotle because i certainly would not be coming here at all. I would give this place 0 stars if i could for the customer service. read more

This place sucks. FOOD IS ALWAYS COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have gotten sick by eating here. The service and food have not gotten better. why can't they just cool the food correctly and be clean sanitation is everything. such a simple task. read more

Today was a busy day for me as I have been doing demo at my house, taking out carpet throughout. So when I showed up, for dinner, I was extremely hungry and looking forward to a good meal. What I have been craving was an asada salad. But when I arrived, there was none left. I understand that the restaurant was about to close within about 15 minutes. I ended up ordering the steak. No harm, no foul. But as I sat devouring my meal, I was presented with a gift card for a free entree on my next visit. As always, the staff is professional and friendly at this Tulare store. This establishment is always clean and the food is delicious. read more
