How to order at Chipotle
Pick a format, a protein, rice, beans and toppings as you walk Chipotle’s line; the protein sets the price ($9.80 for chicken at the median) and only guacamole, queso, a second protein and cilantro lime sauce cost extra.

The line, station by station
Ordering at Chipotle is one pass down a line of stations, and the ordering menu read at 368 restaurants on 25 September 2026 lists the same stations in the same order at every one. The price is set at the second station, the protein, and stays there unless you press one of four priced add-ons. This page walks the line with the price and the brand’s own calories at every stop; the build calculator runs the same walk on a screen.
- Choose the format. Burrito, bowl, salad, three tacos or a quesadilla (digital orders only). The format does not change the price at any restaurant read except the quesadilla, $0.55 more at the median; a bowl is the burrito without the 320 calorie tortilla.
- Choose the protein. Chicken, steak, barbacoa, carnitas, Sofritas or, for a limited time, Pollo Asado; or the veggie option, which swaps the protein for included guacamole. Chicken sets the base price, $9.80 at the median; steak and barbacoa add $2.00, carnitas $0.75, Pollo Asado $0.60.
- Rice and beans. White or brown rice, black or pinto beans, either or both or neither, all included. Each is 4 oz of the four, 210 calories for rice and 130 for beans on the brand’s records.
- Salsas and toppings. Fresh tomato, roasted chili-corn, tomatillo green or tomatillo red salsa, fajita veggies, sour cream, cheese and lettuce, as many as you like at no charge. The salsas run 15 to 80 calories a portion; the fresh tomato salsa carries the most sodium of the four at 550 mg.
- The priced add-ons. Guacamole ($2.95), queso blanco ($1.70), a second portion of protein ($4.00 to $6.00) and cilantro lime sauce ($1.00) at the medians; everything else on the line is included.
- Sides and a drink. Chips $1.95, chips and guacamole $4.90, chips and queso $4.90, a fountain drink $3.20 at the medians. A tortilla on the side is $0.50.
- Pickup or delivery. Order at the counter or in the app for pickup at the pickup price; choose delivery and the brand’s own menu charges more ($12.75 against $9.80 for the chicken burrito at the medians) before service fees. “Minimum order $10 USD / $12 CAD excluding tax and fees; maximum item numbers apply as well.”

Ordering in the app
The app and website sell the same line plus the quesadilla, which the brand keeps digital: “The Quesadilla is a digital-only menu item at Chipotle, meaning you can order it exclusively through the Chipotle app or website for pickup or delivery.” The Family Meals are digital only too: “You can order Family Meals exclusively through the Chipotle app or website.” Rewards members earn on either channel: “Every dollar spent on your real food faves gets you 10 points closer to your next reward.”

How do I order Chipotle without cilantro?
The rice, the fresh tomato salsa, the salsas and the guacamole all list cilantro in the brand’s ingredient statements; the brand publishes no cilantro-free rice, so the choice is to skip those parts. The parts without cilantro on their statements are listed on each ingredient page.
