Why everyone keeps coming back.

This fast-casual restaurant lets you customize your meal exactly how you like it, making every visit a personalized culinary adventure.

The menu invites you to build-your-own masterpieces, from hearty burritos to satisfying bowls and tacos. Imagine tender, juicy chicken or perfectly grilled steak paired with fluffy white rice, hearty black beans, and fresh, crisp fajita veggies.

I've been to many different chipotle's in the US. We ordered two bowls. They were literally the best bowls we've EVER had from Chipotle. The chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly...tender and juicy! The fajita veggies were the best ever! The portion sizes were huge! The service was outstanding! It was an all around fantastic experience!

As a die-hard fan of Chipotle since my soccer days in Redding, I can confidently say this place holds a special spot in my heart. This particular Chipotle has been my go-to spot for delicious, customizable meals since I was a 10-year-old needing to fuel up after soccer tournaments. The portions are perfect. -The staff changes a lot from time to time but they're always super friendly and understanding about everything. Please say your please & thank you's to these hard workers and amazing people. -From the moment you step in, you just feel happy, idk what it is. The music's a vibe, it smells delicious, and everyone is again just positive. -The line never takes too long too, even at 5-7pm. -Flavor. It's hard for me to limit this to a sentence but the fresh ingredients always blend so well and are just top-notch-bursting with flavor. There's so much variety too. Whenever I'm craving a hearty burrito packed with barbacoa or a bowl loaded with chicken, rice, and beans, Chipotle never disappoints. But it's not just about the food; it's about the memories. Yeah it sounds dumb but seriously. Nothing better then sharing post-game victories with teammates over a burrito. Or just catching up with local friends after a long run. Best place ever. To anyone seeing this message who works at the Redding Chipotle- THANK YOU.

12/12/25 - In response to an impromptu request to provide staff lunch, I turned to chipotle as they typically offer the options are staff Joy. The online ordering system was shut down because their food delivery truck did not arrive on time but when I showed up asking for enough food to serve 20 people, they knocked it out of the park. I really appreciated the fact that Chris was so helpful and resourceful, despite not having any of the dishes for “catering“. Caitlin was kind and professional, the only unfortunate component was that they said that the system could not take the catering order in person so I had to pay double for a lesser amount of food/options. Shay was kind enough to help me take the food bags out to the car which I appreciated as it saved me multiple trips. Way to go, you 3!

So I go to chipotle every night basically and there is usually the same lady working when I go and keep in mind whenever she makes my bowl she always BLESSES it, anyways I went in tonight and as usual this same lady blesses my bowl again but after my bowl is done she says to the cashier lady put it on my meal then she says to me I got you or something along those lines I was confused and I had no clue what she meant so Im standing there waiting to scan my points and the cashier lady is taking a little longer than usual then I see the total say zero for the bowl then she looks up and smiles and say here you go have a good day that when I realized the lady that always blesses my bowl Just GAVE ME A FREE bowl and I was just hyped and it made my night this is the best chipotle out of them all.

Pretty Hit Or Miss when eating at this location. Parking is small and tight, but the employees are for the most part friendly and happy to assist. The last time I was in this area, I stopped by to have a somewhat healthy meal, and at first it was empty and quiet, but in 20 minutes, the place was packed and noisy. The place was clean. Tables, chairs and floors wiped down. And of course, the food was delicious as usual, no mistakes or sides dripping or causing unplanned trips to the dry cleaners, for leaking bowls.

We always have the veggie bowl. It feels good to have this as it is so nutritious. The quantities at Chipotle are very generous and you always leave feeling well satisfied.
