Chipotle Mexican Grill

I ate ther recently & got a salad with double protein-beef barbacoa & carnitas. I used to love Chipotle & eat there often, but I'm not sure I'll be going back any time soon after this visit. 1. The prices have gone way up--it was over $16 for ONLY the salad with 1 extra protein. I had a cup of water with it. 2. While the prices have gone up, the quality has gone down. This meat was the nastiest, fattiest meat I've ever had at any restaurant, much less a Chipotle. I'm not talking about little bits of fat on the edge of chunks of meat, but just the opposite. Literally CHUNKS of fat with sometimes a little meat on the edge. Like, chunks that were the size of a half-dollar. I pulled out as much as I could because it totally grosses me out, and I ended up with a pile that was equal to or more than one of the servings of protein. I know that the employee saw at least some of them because she actually removed them from my salad & set them aside when she was preparing my food. The pile I accumulated didn't even count what she had already pulled out. 3. These items used to be gluten-free. I can only assume they still are because I haven't held a bad reaction since eating there. Before ordering, I asked the employee if they were gluten-free, and she had no idea nor did she make a single move to find out. I didn't say anything about any if it while I was there because I had no confidence that it would make a difference, and that's on me, but that meat should never have been put out to serve. I'm both disgusted & disappointed. I'll stick with Qdoba from now on.

This store is amazing I travel all the way from OKC to come to this location! Everyone there is super nice and most importantly they really care about their customers and their health concerns. My partner who has celiac disease would wipe down the counter and change the spoons as well just to be safe. Huge shout out to Lancy, Erin, Jayden, and Nickolas who was the service manager for making our night special even more special!!!!!
