Chipotle price increases: what the reads show
Chipotle publishes no price history; this site’s baseline is the 25 September 2026 read of 368 restaurants (chicken burrito $9.80 at the median), the one dated brand figure is the High Protein Cup’s $3.82 average of December 2025 against $4.00 read now, and every move from the baseline is logged with its date.

What can be said, and from what
Chipotle publishes no price list and no price history; its own footnote is “Pricing varies by menu item and location and is subject to change; see Chipotle online ordering or the Chipotle mobile app for actual prices.” and its sheet says “Check local menu boards for pricing.” So a history of its prices has to come from reads, and this site’s first read is 25 September 2026 across 368 restaurants. That is the baseline; every move from it is logged with its date on the price change log, and nothing is estimated backwards.
The two prices the brand has published
| Item | The brand’s figure | When | Read median, 25 September 2026 | Range read | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| High Protein Cup - Chicken | $3.82 national weighted average | 18 December 2025 | $4.00 | $3.35 to $5.10 | $0.18 (4.7 percent) |
| High Protein Taco | $3.50 starting price at select restaurants | 18 December 2025 | $3.50 | $3.50 to $4.05 | none at the median; $0.55 above it at the high |
The release: “In the U.S., prices start at $3.50 for a Single Chicken Taco at select restaurants. The national weighted average price of a High Protein Cup of Adobo Chicken is $3.82.” Nine months later the chicken cup’s read median sat $0.18 above that average, 4.7 percent; the taco’s starting price was still its median. Those are the only two brand figures this site can set a read against.
The spread today is a kind of history
The same item is priced differently by restaurant, and the gap is wide: the chicken burrito ran $8.45 to $12.10 across 368 restaurants, 30 price points, with state medians from $9.18 in Kansas to $11.15 in New York. The nine-item basket ran $63.31 in Kansas to $74.80 in New York against $66.80 nationally. A national increase, when one comes, moves those medians; the prices by state page draws them.
The delivery price as a second history
The brand’s delivery menu prices every item 30.1 percent above pickup at the median across the entrees, a markup that is itself a price change the checkout does not announce: “Higher menu prices are charged for delivery.”
What this page will not do
It will not quote a percentage increase from a news story, an earnings call or another site; those are not reads of a menu. When this site reads the menus again, the medians that moved are logged on the price change log with both figures and the date, and this page summarizes the log. Until then the baseline stands: 35 adult entrees from $9.80 to $12.35 at the medians, guacamole $2.95, a second portion of chicken $4.00.
The spread today, state by state
The Chicken Burrito was read in 48 states and DC. The lowest state median was $9.18 in Kansas and the highest $11.15 in New York, a gap of $1.97 on one item, 20 percent of the national median. A state median stands on the restaurants read there, and the count is in the table; a state read at one restaurant prints that restaurant’s price as its median. Every state has its own page with every item’s median there; the prices by state page maps the whole country.
