Chipotle is one of those places where everyone has "their order." Some people never leave the chicken bowl; some swear by steak; others treat guac like a non-negotiable expense. The chain started in Denver in 1993 and grew because the idea was easy to love: pick your base, choose your protein, pile on toppings, and watch it come together in front of you. The prices below are approximate national averages: metros run higher, and the app occasionally beats in-store pricing.
