Close to Presidential Towers, this Chipotle has been seriously anticipated by those in the area who don't want to ford the river to get to the Chipotle 2 blocks east. Evidence: constant 20-minute line out the door for their grand opening, EVEN with no free burritos. That's dedication.

The high ceiling and long windows make this location feel bigger than it is, but it still has decent seating capacity. There are plenty of large tables for when the lunch rush comes in groups and a few smaller tables hidden around a corner near the bathroom. There's a special entrance for pick-ups ordered in advance, so you can skip the regular line. Decor is the most minimal I've seen at any Chipotle, with some plywood walls that I assume will make way for something really cool really soon.

Service was friendly despite the opening day insanity. Hip staff with piercings and other clear indicators of hipness. Efficient as per the Chipotle model, although I was told after waiting in line for chips & guac that I could have just come to the front of the line immediately (good to know for future reference, but 1. I'd already waited and 2. who will tell that to the 800 people I bruise past in the future?)

Chipotle is, as always, delicious, and I'm glad they put one here. Additionally, the chicken burritos are $6.05, the price we proud vegheads pay for ours everyday...
