Worst chipotle experience we've ever had. Food arrived 2 hours after we ordered it. Everything was stone cold, soggy, and stale. Had to make another dinner for our kids since I wouldn't even attempt to give them food this quality.. save your time and money.

Was here at 11am and I think the second person in so everything was clean and fresh. Very friendly service and a delicious first time here!

Starting off with the good, the food was really tasty and they filled up my bowl with good quantities + it was very filling. The staff was also nice and tried their best to be as fast as possible with the service but, there was still a 10-15 minute wait. Regardless, as mentioned, they were very fast and efficient with orders. The location was a little messy and some of the tables did need to be cleaned, but aside from that, the food and service was good!

This was my first time at any Chipotle and I was not disappointed. The ambiance is inviting, the restaurant is clean and there is seating available for around 20-25. As with any Mexican burrito style restaurant, start from one end and keep adding on your bowl/wrap as per your preference of protein and toppings. Menu was fairly simple and not confusing at all. The staff was friendly and did not rush. They is sufficient variety of chicken, beef and pork. Also available are bottled beverages and self serve fizzy drinks 🥤. 🌯 The food was good and tasted like good quality ingredients. Chicken was not chewy and rice was not dry and hard. 💳 I paid $20 for a bowl, bottled drink with bag of chips (chips were below average). With current inflation, I say it was fair price. And NOT asking for tip on the card machine in a self service restaurant was a breath of fresh air. 🚽 I did not have to use the washroom but there were more than one washrooms. 🅿️ The location is A+ with plenty of free public parking. 🧑🏻‍🦽Someone was holding the door for me so unsure about accessible entrance. You may want to confirm by calling them.

Very disappointed rip off I eat here three times a week love their food order for burritos super disappointed they made it It was half the size of how they usually make it. I’ve been coming to this location since it opened consistency is key. All of us were still hungry after we ate our half burrito size down you really truly need better training your staff , What’s the point of coming to this location if you’re not consistent, are you trying to lose your patrons? I mentioned it. I said it’s much smaller than you usually make Them she just ignored me. I guess they’re trying to get me through as soon as possible maybe her lunchtime was coming up, What the !! They had had five people working at the time in the front, passing my burrito between them ridiculous…. What a terrible experience I felt ripped off makes me not want to come here anymore. I wish there was another location in Hamilton. I could go to. I don’t recommend this place. It’s gotta be the worst. It’s not the first time I’ve had a problem a while back order to burrito and they ran out of the steak. There was only four pieces left. That’s all I got. I was told they gotta cook some more. But she tried to pass it. She thought I wouldn’t notice she did it in such a way hoping I wouldn’t notice. I waited for more protein that I paid for. I just let it go, but not this time. The burrito wrap was almost wrapped twice around it. I hope that this ain’t the norm you need better training and consistency ordered for burritos ended up only getting one and a half the size of a normal burrito out of the four burritos we purchased we were all hungry and disappointed , what is going on. 🙃

The first couple times I came here, the food was tasty and serving sizes fair. Last visit, I was given bottom-of-the-barrel sofritas amounting to about half a scoop. Upon asking why the serving size was so small, I was told that I would need to pay for double meat for more. Edit: It was a one-off experience. Jasmeet gave me a delicious burrito.

I drove 20 minutes to try this Chipotle location after having read the reviews online. I didnt think it could be as bad as the reviews seemed. I ordered 3 chicken bowls. Today I opened one and was cooking it, to my shock there was a big piece of plastic wrapping inside the bowl. This is actually a health danger as its not safe to eat heated plastic. Not to mention a choking hazard. Having these kind of things happen is totally unacceptable. The food itself is not the problem, I love Chipotle. The employees and training are.

I was so excited to hear that Hamilton was finally getting a Chipotle. I had a Carne Asada bowl. The bowl was delicious and tasted just as good as any other Chipotle experience I have had. My only complaint would be if you order online you will get a bit less topping wise. I had to ask for more veggies because she literally put a scoop that consisted of two pieces of pepper and one onion. Besides that, great! The staff worked really efficiently together. There were about twenty people ahead of me and they got through the crowd really fast. The location is also nice and clean! I expected it to be a nightmare due to where it was placed however even with the chaotic Costco traffic it wasn't hard to get to. I'll be back!

It was fine. Way too expensive for what it is though 20$ for just a burrito bowl is obscene.

This is one of the worst chipotles i have seen and chipotle is one of the places i eat at often. The food had hear in it when i brought it to the managers attention she didn t acknowledge me or let alone apologize. Extremely unqualified staff the food and portions are not on par with other chipotle and she charged me for guac twice. And said its her staffs fault for putting to much guac but still charged me for double guac. I most certainly wont be visiting this chipotle again. No debating on ever stepping foot in another one. The brand has definitely gone downhill.

Service just keeps getting worse and worse. If I m paying $50 for 2 people to eat here, the least they could do is drain the juice of the toppings so it s not soggy and messy gross Not worth the price. Good ingredients and tastes delicious. But workers simply do not care for quality. Disappointing

Came to this location on Tuesday. We usually go to the Toronto, SQ1, and Oakville locations. But we were in this neighbourhood. I have never experienced service like this at Chipotle. After giving the normal amount of the cheap ingredients (rice and beans) she was extremely stingy with the other toppings. I asked the lady if she could give the normal amount and she gave me an attitude, and after that she kept telling me what she was doing. Very condescending and rude. I told her she doesnt have to act like that and I knew what she was doing. She was very defensive and rude. I have never left a Chipotle restaurant with lots of empty room in the containers. They are usually filled to the top. Here, they try to give you the absolute smallest portions (but charge same piece of course). This is not the norm at other locations in Ontario. Ive never ever once had a bad experience at Chipotle. But this location, be ready to fight with them to give you the normal amount of toppings. They are very very cheap! How they have 3 stars is beyond me, they are definitely getting friends and family to rate them. The worst Chipotle location I have ever been to!

Hit or miss depending on who you get to make your meal (try to avoid the older woman with dark features) some are super chincy with toppings, heavy on the rice. You re not fooling anyone. There were a few pieces of old brisket in the container, she looked at it and said oh, I ll get a fresh one for you considering the brisket (which is the whole reason behind my visit - is only available for a limited time). She scooped the last bits of brisket out of the container and then passed it off to the next guy, no fresh brisket for me. I was really looking forward to it only to be immediately let down. I don t think I ll visit this location again, hopefully she moves on to another job or location.

October 21, 2024

Went to chipotle today and was severely let down. I walked in around 5pm and there was a line to the door. There was about 6 staff on at the time however none of them were serving anyone. Instead they were sweeping, cleaning and preparing food in the back with no sense of urgency or acknowledging the customers. One worker was prepping rice for about 30min and took his sweet time while there s a massive line. It looked like there as a health inspector there at dinner rush and the restaurant was not clean so all the staff started quickly cleaning and wiping down every station instead of serving customers. I was not served until 5:30pm and only one kind worker was serving food while the other 5 stood around doing nothing and smiling talking amongst themselves. I would not recommend this chipotle ever after tonight and if you are looking for fast service this is not the place to go.

Would ve been great had it not had a hair in it.

September 21, 2024

This place was great when it first opened. But like other reviewers have posted the portions are getting smaller and smaller. Asked the worker for more toppings since it was very minimal at first, they barely added anymore. The staff has changed from the first crew that opened. For the price, there s better options a bit further away with way more portions. Rather goto a shawarma spot around the city with more portions and costs less.

Management is really a bad and disrespecting to me due to my colour nationality, I got harassed by manager. On last Wednesday around 6pm, I was placing an order very gently, suddenly one team member interrupted me while I was ordering a food and he saying oh!! Do you know.!! you have to pay extra, I replied, I said why you are saying this to me, I know what I m ordering and this is not first time i come to chipotle I know why are you saying this to me. I told, You know there are so many people standing behind me, everyone listening and felt so bad as I came there with my family. Afterwards, there is one white guy he s standing so far in the line, and he run, came to me and started yelling on me and saying yo!! remove your hand you will throw your bad bacteria on food. I was so far from food section not even close plus there is glass shelf which cover a whole food section , just meaningless things, they were saying to me, wanted to make me feel an embarrassed. Later, Manager show up I was expecting he will stop him but instead helping me !! he took his side because he s white colour too, he took away my food and thrown away in front of me, don t allowed me to pay for a food, kicked me out from the store by saying will not give u food get out. I was so hungry and travelled from grimsby to Ancaster just for chipotle as there is no other store in Hamilton see what I got from store, felt so bad & embarrassed, first time ever I felt racist since came to Canada it s been 10 year*. My family was with me I really wanted to ask to management - what is my issue? - Why you guys treated me racist in your store? - Why ?? - How would you feel if the same thing happens to you when you re with your family.??? Please explain me.. *GOD* is watching Location Ancaster chipotle restaurant in Home Depot.

Very expensive for what you get. This was my first and last time to a Chipotle. Lunch for 4 (plus a small build your own taco for the toddler) was $80. Service was horrendous because 5 people make 1 item as its passed down the line instead of 1 person doing all the toppings. 3 of our items had to be remade because they kept on mixing up what was asked for. Everything was cold by the time we sat down to eat. Never returning.

I went for the first time today to order.Burrito bowl, not caring about what other people say.Just wanting to try chipoltle for the first time. First thing I noticed was theres no care... The staff are kind of sucky.They just throw the food in the bowl. And push it on down on the line. The al pastor Was okay, but it was drowned out by the rice, the beans. The cheese and the other topings. But once I dug around and found a piece that wasnt drowned out by salsa cheese and other stuff.It was OK, it was cooked.Well, not raw like most people say.Maybe theyve learned their lesson. Ill totally go back.One word of advice.May be keep some forks at the cash.Register for people who dont realize they have to go searching for a fork.And its not put in the bag with them when they order take out

Food does taste good but the portions are so small its actually quite ridiculous for the price point. When it first opened it was not like that. Anyways, line is long almost always and but just disappointed that a very successful franchise like chipotle has to be so stingy while pricing at a premium. 2/5.

staff have noticeable decreased the serving sizes (whether by choice or due to management instruction) over the last few months since opening. it is disappointing to pay $17+ for a burrito and have to ask them to FILL the chicken scoop. Every time i ve visited in the last month they have made my burrito like they are rationing ingredients in order to encourage customers to pay for double servings . ridiculous.

Horrible Chipotle location, I d give zero stars if I could. If you re in Hamilton, run to Burrito Boys on Upper James. Better value for your dollar there. The portions at chipotle were so small, I had to ask for a bit more at each station. The management is cheaply cutting corners, and I didn t know they offered rice burritos! Zero communication between one line staff to the next and it s clear they are in desperate need of training before they can work with customers. I ll never be back and neither will my family and friends. Waste of $45

I guess they were working out the kinks at opening, but I waited an hour for my mobile order and they missed two items, which required me driving back to the store to get them. I gave them another shot recently and the experience was MUCH better. Solid service and the food was fresh, which doesnt surprise me since Chipotle is one of the more consistent fast food chains. Hopefully they expand to downtown Hamilton since getting to Ancaster isnt realistic for people that dont drive.

Ordered a bowl to go. The one person I dealt with was moving way too fast and didn t listen to what I answered for her questions. I said no cream then she proceeds to put it on. I dislike sour cream a lot. She was about to scoop it off until she asked if I want it remade. She was unapologetic, which just soured the experience even more. Then she made a new bowl, I received half as much rice as the first one, she asked me for which beans, I said pinto, she put black beans . Just an overall frustrating experience, rather drive to Oakville next time for this.

Im giving this 4 stars because I love Chipotles food, but this location probably deserves a 3 because they are sometimes a bit...lazy? I know theyre super busy, especially with being the only Chipotle in Hamilton, but Ive never had a few leaves of spinach and a couple pieces of romaine thrown on a burrito bowl like this before. This is way too chinsy. A few times the counter has been messy, or sour cream was in the hot sauce. If you have allergies or intolerances this can be a concern. For the price they charge, they could do better. Their flavours are on point. I loooove their sofritas. Vegetarian options: I love the sofritas! Dietary restrictions: They have vegan and vegetarian options.

The meat quantity is extremely low even when you get double meat. Its a joke. Nowhere near to quantity you get in the states. Extremely disappointed!

First and a last time with Chipotle. Ordered so I could eat a handheld for my long drive home. Well I was hungry until I got home because it required a plate and knife and fork to eat. As my food was being prepared I was thinking wow theyre going to need to toast that a lot so it doesnt come apart. Chipotle doesnt toast burritos after theyre made. Thats not a burrito, its a Mexican tortilla wrap. And this was more like a tortilla blob. Look up what a burrito is supposed to look like and how its meant to be served. After all the Chipotle hype, Im so disappointed. Nothing worse than a burrito that has poor ingredient mixing, one bite is chicken the next guacamole, the next rice. Again very poor burrito building skills. Doesnt seem that I got any cheese either. Ive had better burritos from Taco Bell, and thats sad. Ordered Queso and chips and again disappointed. Chips were nearly stale and the Queso was bland and boring even though it had the appearance of a good Queso. Flavours of burrito ingredients good but what a fail. I can think of at least 6 other places to get a better burrito in nearby area. Id like to see the owner of XXX Burrito rip on this chain and let them know from a pro how bad this was.

Don t bother. There are at least 15 people behind the counter. One to bag, one to ring in, several to yell across the restaurant. There are only about 4 toppings ? Something that looks like milk, strangely white corn, wilted lettuce and 3$ guacamole.

Purchased 3 burritos today. 2 this afternoon and 1 3 hours later. Check out the difference. Why?? Why no consistency. No care. No replacement. No offer. It is what it is. Bye bye chipotle

Took an hour to make a singular burrito. A big order I get it but come on now, it was no busier then you would expect at 4:00 pm. An hour to put together a singular burrito blows my mind

I am a loyal chipotle customer for many years, and I was super excited to learn about the Hamilton location opening. Now I have been there twice, the first one a week after the opening and you could tell that lack of experience of assembly the burrito - bowl, it was not great, and the flavors werent there either; then I though lets give them a bit of time. Well I went back today and to my surprise there was no improvements at all. Advice for management, you have an awesome opportunity please train your staff properly according to the brand guidelines

I am glad that Chipotle is finally in Hamilton, we were missing this important place over here. The food is good, the service, plenty of parking spots. I will recommend this place if you want to eat something different and delicious. Food

Decided to get chipotle as a last minute late night dinner , I ve had it before and the food is absolutely amazing but the problem is the service the girl who served me the food making my bowl was so unbelievably rude and like rushing and barley putting anything in the bowl which makes no sense considering it was about an hour before close there was no line just me they still had a lot of food in the containers and she was being rude and just not being kind in anyway the girl at checkout sweetheart tho for getting me a huge bag of chips

I agree with the recent reviews. I eat very frequently from the Oakville/Mississauga location and the burrito bowl here tasted saltier than usual. Portion size was similar (I did not order online). Service was fast for how busy it was. The location is very convenient so hope they will improve in the future. Edit: Ive been frequently coming back here and its getting better. Edit 2: 5 stars for bringing al pastor back.

Orders a barbacoa quesadilla and they gave me a plain tortilla with nothing on it and sour cream and didn t even put the proper sides in. Been in the store multiple times rice is always cold tastes like pure salt, manager berates staff and yells at them infront of customers making everyone feel uncomfortable, it is the most unwelcoming place. On top of that if they mess up an order they throw out the entire thing and waste food completely. Never have I seen such a poor managed place not to mention it s completely dirty inside. They don t even have a phone number to this location, they use a Medway number which the manager told me she gets 40 complaint calls a day about this store.

The experience was good, nice staff and good ambience. The food however was not to the chipotle standards. The rice was uncooked and the chips were stale as if they been sitting out for a while. The food overall has a bit of loss of taste . I would say the practice food prep is not proper to the chipotle standards.

February 21, 2024

Ordered online and very disappointed. Food was cold and definitely not worth the price. Would not order again.

February 21, 2024

This spot is a stain on the chipotle brand. Small portions and crazy busy without any control. I gave 2 stars cause I still ate the burrito I m not a monster .. I went back for round 2 and it got worse now it s 1 star. This place is terrible.AVOID!!! What a joke

I was very excited to try Chipotle for the first time after hearing americans raving for years. Wow that was disappointing. It was very expensive and the portion size was so so small. Its crazy that they only have 1 burrito size too. Most chains here have small, med and large. This thing looked more like a baked potato than a burrito. I was shocked to say the least. It was smaller than the small at other burrito places. Dont think Ill be ordering from here again.

Ordered take-out for a large burrito extra chicken and the works were for toppings portions were horrendous no veggies no cheese no peppers this location is really bad and they forgot my chips and dip

If I could rate this 0 stars I would. The chicken was very very hot and spicy they didnt even tell us. The chips were very stale and the corn was WHITE. Its not worth the cost and its very expensive. The customer service was not good the server threw everything on the counter and not all going in the bowl and you pay top price for NO MEAT. Based on what we have heard about this food chain, it is not worth the LONG WAIT and I will never go back here again. So over rated.

February 21, 2024

The food was terrible. I had a chicken rice bowl and they didnt even tell me that it was spicy. The service was terrible the server threw the food on the counter and not even in the bowl. The chips were very stale. Its expensive!!!!! Not worth the wait.

February 21, 2024

I don t know what in the good god they did to the burrito, but not even an hour after eating it, I was throwing up like a drunk person after several drinks. I was up all night, sick to my stomach. It was definitely food poisoning (mind you, I ordered the steak burrito). Yikes. Will not be returning or eating. The thought of chipotle makes me GAG!!!

February 21, 2024

They skimp out on mobile orders and forgot to put some toppings I requested in my bowl. When I asked a worker for more take out sauce containers they brought them to me and asked me to put the rest of the containers at the sauce and utensil counter for others to use as well which a was kind of odd.

February 21, 2024

*******DO NOT VISIT THIS LOCATION ******** Worst location ever I have visited this location twice now Both time my experience was worst * employees dont care about the customer * portion size are VERY VERY SMALL for this expensive bowl , it was half empty * I got food stickers in my food and chicken was uncooked * got sick the next day and had to take off from work * customer service sucks , no one there who has basic customer service skills ( how to talk to customer/ how to greet customers) * none of the employees got proper trainings * I regret coming to this location both the times * Dine In tables are never cleaned and never organized * Management should seriously consider reading all the reviews and work on this location * PLEASE TRAIN YOUR EMPLOYEES AND IMPROVE FOOD QUALITY

I am not sure what happened to chipotle but based on my recent visit, I had an awful experience. The chicken was of the poorest quality and taste. I ended up throwing most of the meal away.

Decided to try Chipotle now that we have one in Hamilton. I can t say I understand the hype. The store was busy and staff moved through the orders quickly, but they had a lot of trouble putting my order together, which had two burritos. Portion size was decent, but everything seemed really expensive for what you get in terms of variety. Once I hit a grisly piece of chicken I was put off continuing and tossed the rest. The atmosphere is also really bad - noisy, not clean, and you feel like you re on display if you eat in. I ll likely warn people away going forward unless they re already Chipotle fans for some reason. Parking: It was a silly idea to put this location in the Home Depot parking lot. I imagine an accident will happen sooner or later.

I ve been super stoked to hear about chipotle opening in Ancaster as I m a huge fan. I ve been to this location around 6-7 times since it s opened. The portions are nothing like other locations in Ontario. Very small portions, burrito bowls are barely filled. I ve had to ask for more toppings every experience. For the high price tag you think they d be a bit fairer with their portions. Scoops of protein are half filled and during my most recent experience when I asked for lettuce I got 4 strands of lettuce, I literally laughed and asked for more. Disappointing but will continue to go since it s the closest chipotle to me haha. Buyers beware.

I have been waiting to go to Chipotle Restaurant since it opened. it had to be the worst food I have ever had. I did report it to management. Jake was very understanding and looked after us. The salt in that food was the worst Ive ever eaten. Half of the Burito was warm while the other half was icy cold. I will never go back. Thank you Jake for your understanding

SO disappointed - wanted to be able to walk over a lot and have Chipotle. I got a burrito bowl which tasted good but I was given 8 small pieces of shredded lettuce (I counted) the person dishing the food gave NO time for me to ask for some. They gave our 2 item order to the wrong people. My husband has celiac so its not just oh well eat that one instead option. The manager could have cared less that 2 sets of customers were left trying to figure it all out on their own in all that commotion. He just said oh well and walked away. Eating out when you have celiac is stressful enough without the staff not caring at all. So disappointed, treated your paying customers better, food is expensive I paid for lettuce!!!!
