Chipotle Mexican Grill - Melbourne

Worst Chipotle I have been to. I've been a regular for 20 years and this store honestly makes me reconsider eating at Chipotle going forward.

A Chipotle in Palm Bay A good choice for a mealThis chain was founded in July 1993 in Colorado and has grown to where there are now 3300+ Chipotle restaurants in the US as of Dec 2023 and 222 of them are in Florida. This particular restaurant is located on the north side of Palm Bay Road NE near the intersection of Minton Road in a stand alone building. There are several eating establishments along this side of the road running to I 95. The nice thing about this one is that it is one of the farthest from the interstate and seems to have less traffic. Like all the Chipotle restaurants, this site sports the signature menu of bowls, tacos, and burritos made in front of the customer. This location has parking on at least 2 sides of the restaurant and is adjacent to a larger parking area. You order at the counter and follow your food to the register where you pay. I, personally like their chicken bowls but I am not a fan of their chips. The prices are reasonable, the food is excellent, and the staff is friendly. The restaurant was clean with their high and low metal tables for eating your food inside. Overall, this is an excellent place to get a good meal in the area. Enjoy.

I could comment about the small portions, the high prices for what you get, the lack of cleanliness, etc. But it 's the dangerous food preparation that concerns me. Let me explain: When they cook the chicken, just like in their commercials on TV, the cook uses the same spatula he used to turn the chicken the last (3rd time? , that he used to position the RAW chicken on the grill!!! Can anyone say, Salmonella ? This store (and maybe other stores too , is heading for a food poisoning incident and lawsuit. If you get any meat item that was raw when they put it on the grill, put a piece of the container that held the cooked meat that was part of your meal in a plastic bag and take it home and put it in your freezer. Same if you took an order home. That way, if you get sick, you may have evidence of food contamination. Frankly you should probably do that at any place that prepares meats that were raw. A friend of mine is a real chef , and unless he cooked it, he won 't eat it. He says that the lack of concern, knowledge, training in the restaurant business is staggering. Do yourself a favor, learn how to cook, or only eat Vegetarian, although food poisoning can vector on fruits and vegetables too...

Ordered 3 kids meals with tacos and cheese. They gave us nothing but 3 taco shells with meat slopped on the side. No cheese. No queso. I like chipotle but choose other

Loved the food. First time there. Guacamole a little expensive. Gave a really good portion.
