How to Get the Most Out of Your Chipotle Order: Top Tips for True Fans
True Chipotle enthusiasts don’t mind paying a bit extra for guac or spending their entire lunch budget at their favorite spot. But even the most devoted fans should know the tricks to maximize their meal and save some cash. Here are the best Chipotle-ordering hacks on the internet:
1. Order a Bowl, Double Everything, and Get Tortillas on the Side
Instantly transform your bowl into two burritos for the price of one.
2. Wait to Ask for Double Portions
Don't request double portions until after the first scoop is added for a more generous serving.
3. Turn Kids' Tacos into DIY Nachos
A fun and creative way to enjoy your meal.
4. Always Get Taco Shells on the Side
More fillings with less soggy mess.
5. Combine Two Proteins
Asking for half and half often gets you more meat than a single serving.
6. Customize Your Burrito
To avoid getting all rice in one bite, ask the server to mix the ingredients before rolling it up.
7. Make Your Bowl Last
Stretch your burrito bowl by spreading it over two salads.
8. Score Free Guac
Order a veggie burrito, bowl, or tacos to get free guacamole, or go during busy times and hope for a freebie.
9. Skip the Line
Order ahead using the app to bypass the lunchtime rush and head straight to the register.
10. Stick to the Essentials
If you're on a budget, protein-rich beans and cheese are all you need for a satisfying meal.
11. Take Advantage of Gift Card Deals
Chipotle often has promotions like "buy a gift card, get a free burrito." Use the gift card for future meals.
12. Keep It Simple
Burritos with fewer ingredients cost less than their loaded counterparts.
13. Double Up Your Tacos
Sides of cheese and flour tortillas come at no extra cost.
14. Skip the Chips
Ask for free hard taco shells on the side and break them into "chips."
These tips will help you get the most out of your Chipotle experience without breaking the bank. Happy eating!
