I just got food poisoning after eating at the 29th. Street Chipotle.  Oof. Now I don't even want to smell burritos...

I enjoy Chipotle burritos.  I've read a few other reviewers comment on the number of calories in a burrito.  I usually get the chicken burrito and I think it has about 1200 calories in it.  It is disappointing that you can't get nutritional information for their food on the website.  Most info on the content comes from 3rd party sites.

If you have the self- discipline, you can eat half the burrito for dinner and save the other half for lunch the next day.  That makes for a 600 calorie meal which isn't too bad.

My kids love it - plus as students they get free sodas.  So, not a bad deal.  The chicken burrito is $5.85.  Pretty cheap all things considered.

Take Chipotle for what it is - fast, consistent, inexpensive food that is quite tasty and you'll be happy with the experience.

If you are looking for uber-healthy, gourmet, fancy dining - then this isn't the place for you.

Just  a great place to grab a healthy burrito and chips with awesome guacamole. Yes, students get free sodas.
The 29th street location is not as well managed as the location off Rte. 36 near Superior, however.
Yes, NO LONGER owned by McDonalds, which probably means they care too much about quality and the environment and not enough about "the bottom line" for McD's to keep them.
About Chipotle vs. Illegal Pete's, I could not agree more with some others that IP's is just so bland; it's almost like eating canned ingredients vs. fresh! Illegal Petes needs to step up and get better ingredients and better spices, not to mention make their locations less dingy.
As for nutritional value, I think Chipotle is really quite healthy (and no contest at all compared to fast food super-size sodas, fries, etc.). If you are someone who doesn't get much exercise, just ask for less rice and get water instead of soda (it's those simple carbs that will lead you towards diabetes).

Chipotle - Boulder 29th street

Chipotle, in general as a chain, has the same sort of ambience everywhere:  the strange juxtaposition of polished sheet-metal and faux Aztec gods, burrito in hand. This one however stands out from the rest in its strange elongated shape, which, while good for queuing, gives it a strange sort of feel, like a stretched and squished version of the standard. Nonetheless, and while this may seem surprising, the burritos (or burrito bowl, if you are into that sort of thing) ACTUALLY taste better than opposing places. Maybe the crew is especially hard working, maybe the elongated shape is more congenial to the burrito's essence - it is hard to say, but as it stands, this one is highly recommended.
