La comida estaba bien, pero el servicio era diabólico. Cómo cualquiera de los 4 miembros del personal que estaban en el mostrador cuando visitamos había conseguido trabajos de servicio al cliente es increíble. ¡Cada uno pone una burla a aquellos que intentan trabajar en trabajos de servicio al cliente! Estábamos apurados pero si hubiéramos tenido tiempo nos habríamos ido sin completar el pedido. ¡La gerencia hace algo con su personal!

The food was ok but the service was diabolical. How any of the 4 members of staff who were at the counter yesterday had managed to get customer service jobs is unbelievable. They each put a mockery to those trying to work in customer service jobs! We were in a hurry but if we'd had time we would have left. Management do something about your staff!

Loving the burrito but wow, as usual, miserable staff. A lady put a topping in, I didn’t request, and when I nicely pointed it out, I was told “you told me so”. Absolutely not.

I have never been treated so badly in my life as I was at this establishment. The staff were very rude to me, one of them even rolled his eyes at me. They didn't hear me saying "Hello, good evening" to one of my colleagues and started talking badly about me to each other in front of me. But as I said, they just didn't hear me because I'm 110% sure that I greeted the colleague, like I greet everyone. Anyway, if I hadn't said it and they had gotten annoyed with me for it, they could have told me directly that they didn't like it, and not made fun of me to each other in front of me. Despite this, I tried to ignore it and be cordial and nice, but I gave up. The restaurant is filthy, full of food scraps everywhere, and the staff were leaning against the counter playing with their cell phones. I don't like to leave bad reviews, but this time I had to, I really felt insulted.

i visited this place with a friend and the food is quite good, but the price is a little bit expensive for the portions and quality. the staff is very un polite and without any customer service attention and care. a gay in particular starts laughing, without any reason, while he was asking me if i wanted the small or large portions of guacamole, so after all i don’t recommend at all this place, cause it’s not really worthy. It's not just the food that's worth it, but also the atmosphere and the staff.

Similar bad experience with the other reviews on here. I made an order on the app, Sunday night, which had a pickup time for 6.40pm. Arrived couple minutes late to the store and could not see the order on the shelf so made it known to staff who were all standing around behind the counter (it did not look busy at the time and they weren’t serving customers). They then started to make the order and we were standing around waiting. Not sure what the point was of making the order on the app then. The bowl itself was not full or the amount we expected as we have had Chipotle multiple times. Paid £16 but expected a bit more food and better service. Submitted formal complaints to Chipotle and didn’t hear anything.

Having been to other branches of the same chain, this is the worst I've been to. Every person on the line rushed the burrito, despite there being zero people queuing behind me. The final result was a mess with a soggy split tortilla and foil not ever wrapped fully round once.

Los trabajadores parecían odiar su vida. No me dejaron terminar mi pedido de frijoles y arroz antes de que el próximo empleado asumiera el cargo. Ni siquiera estaba ocupado, pero me estaban apurando tanto. Y todos parecían sin alma. Eran tan tacaños, el tazón estaba medio vacío. Esta fue mi primera impresión de chipotle, y también la última.

I went for the crispy tacos with black bean and chicken filling, topped with salsa, red sauce, and a sprinkle of cheese. Each bite was a crunchy, flavorful explosion that left me craving more. I paired it with their signature nacho chips (because why not?), and it was the perfect match. I was so hungry I forgot to take a pic before diving in—classic foodie move. But hey, I did manage to snap a shot after finishing one taco... because documenting deliciousness is a must, even mid-meal! If you’re in the mood for bold, customizable flavors that hit the spot every time, Chipotle’s tacos are the way to go. A crunchy masterpiece worth every bite!

This branch was always my go-to for location & mostly pretty decent. But recently the service & portion sizes have been TINY with ratios off. For example 3 beans & a ton of sour cream with them barely knowing how to wrap a burrito!! Gonna have to visit another Chipotle now, luckily there’s 2 other branches near by.

An unmitigated disaster. We ordered 2 Salad Chicken Salads for a take away a at cost of £38. Not unreasonably we expected to have some chicken included. Not only was there no chicken but when we complained they only reduced the charge by £8. This is a disgrace. Paying £30 for 2 avocado, bean and lettuce salads is a joke. My advice is have nothing to do with them.

Absolutamente repugnante servicio del personal, el teatro pheonix se amontonó a las 10 de la noche, donde muchos de nosotros fuimos a comer algo rápido. La actitud del personal del mostrador era horrible, puede que se acercara el final del turno (45 minutos), pero la forma en que hablaban con los clientes y luego hablaban de cada uno después de que les habían servido no estaba en marcha. Si no quieres servir a la gente que sale del teatro vecino, entonces no debes permanecer abierto hasta este momento. Tomó mi dinero, pero no se le permitió usar el inodoro (6 meses de embarazo) chapuza de sobreprecio que los estándares de salud probablemente fallarían. Nunca volvería a comer aquí. ¡Pobre pobre actitud!

I visited this location around 7:15-7:30 PM and noticed something that impacted my service experience. While the female server was friendly and helpful, she seemed to be the only one actively serving customers. There were two other employees not focused on customer service: one with glasses was at the cashier station engaged in a long conversation with a customer, while another with short hair was at the chip section next to the till, also seemingly unengaged and too busy chatting to his cashier mate and customers. This left the server to manage everyone alone. This didn't seem very efficient, and it created a bit of a wait. Additionally, the employee with glasses seemed more focused on flirting with a female customer than assisting with the checkout process. I hope this feedback is helpful. Perhaps a manager could address the need for all employees to be attentive and available during peak times.

Asked explicitly for non-spicy chicken and mild salsa, which I’ve ordered many times before without any issue. I’m not sure if they had some kind of mix-up but for both dishes we ordered (a burrito and bowl) they were both way too spicy and inedible for my mother because she has dietary restrictions and can’t eat spicy food. Very disappointed as I’ve always been a fan of chipotle until now.

Ser una Karen pero este chipotle da una mala reputación en todos los chipotles. Soy alérgico al cilantro y no me proporcionarían arroz sin él y me hicieron sentir como un completo idiota por quererlo sin él.

Great place. They ruined the vegetarian. Rice dish and no longer add the red and orange peppers. Only green peppers which is a shame and obviously don’t listen to what customers say and got a lot of people complain. It’s the meat eaters that focus on I guess. Apparently the red peppers make their fajitas too soggy. Sure. Whatever. The biggest issue though by far is the salt. These guys live on salt. Salmon the chips, the cheese is salty, the rice is salty. You can’t escape it. Maybe it’s the Mexican culture. I know in the Philippines the rates of stroke and heart attack is very high. You know why? Salt I literally walk out of this place feeling like I’m going to drop dead from a heart attack or stroke. They don’t get it. Salt adds taste but that doesn’t mean you go overboard. I don’t smoke either so nothing wrong with my taste buds. I need a drink every time. I in for them because you spend more money. This was a strategy cinemas took with salted pop corn. All this stems from America of course. The most unhealthy nation on the planet. I just wished you guys would make it less Americanised. Hear about what they put in the bread in subway sandwiches for sample many years ago. It was banned in Europe but not in America. Anyway, this is my go to place every weekend. No loyalty card which is disappointing.I need to stop going to reduce my sodium intake which is a shame but it’s American after all. If it comes from America you know there’s always going to be something that is unhealthy about it. Reduce the salt please as I love your food but not the salt

Staff/management are a joke at this branch.

Thought okay fine, whatever. Took a bite and NO guacamole. Staff acts high on their horse, no apology when I took it back. Got a refund for the guacamole at least but they clearly need to be trained to work with more accuracy instead of just speed. Terrible experience.

Yesterday I made an order via Chipotle's website for a quesadilla, to be collected at the Putney branch at noon. I turn up at noon, only to be told that online orders have to be made through the Chipotle app, which had "just launched yesterday". So my online order had not in fact gone through to the shop. I showed the manager, Divhi, the "payment pending" to Chipotle for my order on my bank app, and she assured me that since my order failed to go through to the shop, the amount will not be deducted from my account. In the evening, I saw that payment was in fact taken by Chipotle. I call Divhi today to enquire, and all she said was, " Just tell your bank to refund you. There's nothing I can do about online orders that fail to come through to the shop but payment is still taken from customers." Incredible. I am now contacting Chipotle head office for some answers.

ha, never rated Tortilla. Obviously one of the best, reasonable prices and plenty of choices. The pimped our store a bit with ordering desks, which is great as I often get quite overwhelmed. You can either choose a burrito/ naked burrito or salad from their menu, or build your own. We opted for a veggie bowl and their classic chicken burrito. delicious as always with lots of free toppings. Service is fast, staff friendly, lots of seating inside (also wheelchair assessable). thx guys, u cannot go wrong with Tortilla.

Seven D's market spread over two floors of round the world cuisine from extra large Pizza slices my girl friend wouldn't share to tacos, burgers, Thai, Nigerian and vegetarian options. (Other food types available too many to recall) A relatively large eating area and two minutes brisk walk from Covent Garden. A breathing space from the bustle and good place to chew the cud...
