Salads

At a glance

The medians span $2.00, from $9.80 for Chicken Salad to $11.80 for Steak Salad. Delivery on the same menus runs 30.1 percent above pickup at the median across the section, before the checkout’s fees. Calories run from 150 (Sofritas Salad) to 210 (Carnitas Salad) (an entree’s figure is the protein alone; the builds are on each page).

Every protein on this format

Chicken sets the base at $9.80 at the median, and Sofritas and the veggie option are priced level with it. The premiums over chicken at the medians: carnitas $0.75, Pollo Asado $0.60, steak $2.00 and barbacoa $2.00. The classic builds run from 650 to 750 calories with the protein as the only change; the printed sheet gives a built salad as 420 to 910.

What the add-ons cost

The priced add-ons on a salad: Guacamole $2.95 at the median ($2.85 to $3.20, 368 restaurants), Queso Blanco $1.70 at the median ($1.40 to $1.80, 368 restaurants) and Cilantro Lime Sauce $1.00 at the median ($1.00 to $1.00, 368 restaurants). Everything else on the line is included: the rice, the beans, the salsas, the cheese, the sour cream, the lettuce and the fajita veggies. A second portion of protein (double protein) adds, at the medians, chicken $4.00, steak $6.00, barbacoa $6.00, carnitas $4.75, Sofritas $4.00 and Pollo Asado $4.60. On the Veggie Salad guacamole is included at no charge: “Includes our fresh guacamole and your choice of beans.”

What the brand says about the format

Chipotle’s printed sheet: “Chopped romaine lettuce, baby kale and baby spinach, with choice of beans, meat, salsa, cheese and chipotle-honey vinaigrette.” The greens base is the supergreens salad mix, 15 calories on the sheet, and the vinaigrette is 220 calories per 2 oz on its record and carries sulphites.

Where prices differ most

Prices are set per restaurant, and the spread shows it: Veggie Salad ran $8.45 to $12.10 across 368 restaurants, a gap of $3.65. The tightest is Pollo Asado Salad, $9.05 to $12.70. By state median Veggie Salad was cheapest in Kansas ($9.18) and dearest in New York ($11.15); the prices by state page has every state.

Allergens and diets on the chart

Six of the seven rows carry a chart row or a calculator tag (five from the chart itself); one carries soy and one carries sulphites. Marked vegan: Sofritas Salad and Veggie Salad. One row carries no row and no tag (Pollo Asado Salad) and sits out of every allergen filter on this site rather than being assumed clean. The chart’s own caution stands on every page: “Individual foods may come into contact with one another during preparation, which is not reflected on this chart.”

Availability

Of the seven rows on 25 September 2026: six core rows, on every open menu read and one limited time row. The limited time rows (Pollo Asado Salad) say so on their own pages, with the brand’s own words on how long they stay. Five rows were marked unavailable at one or more restaurants on the read day (Beef Barbacoa Salad at one, Chicken Salad at one, Pollo Asado Salad at one, Steak Salad at one and Veggie Salad at one); a menu marks an item off for the day when the restaurant cannot make it, which is not a delisting.

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. An entree row lists the protein alone, because that is what the ordering menu lists, and its page sums every build from the parts. A state chosen at the top of the page prints that state’s median beside the national range. The how we check page explains the reads in full.
