How this page is read
Every price on this page is a range read from 368 restaurants’ own ordering menus in 48 states and DC on 25 September 2026, printed with the count of restaurants behind it and the brand’s own delivery price beside it; every calorie and nutrient figure is Chipotle’s own record from its nutrition calculator, and every allergen mark is its own chart row or tag. The side by side table above prints every published figure both items carry; a blank cell means the record does not publish it. An entree’s record is its protein alone, which is why the formats compare as builds.
