    I like this Chipotle better then the others for two reasons.

    #1 - They are always friendly and load up my Burrito.

    #2-  They have an upstairs that is never crowded and is always clean.

    We usually go to the Chipotle in Hicksville, but decided to review this location after seeing a few :( ratings. This location is right on Hempstead Tpke across from the Nassau Coliseum and Hofstra University.
    Right away I noticed the grill loaded up with fresh meat cooking. Friendly smiling staff and every item that they were serving up looked fresh and well stocked. No more Moe's when for the same price you can have quality, fresh Mexican food in a hurry. Coming from East Meadow, it is just minutes west of Merrick Ave and well worth the trip. The sign in the gun store window next door says that they sell mace and pepper spray.
    My kids got a kick out of this and begged to go in to look at guns. Maybe next time. Not.

    I am actually biased against this location, becuase I remember sucking down giant Long Island Iced Teas here when it was Monterey's and now walking in here for lucnh with my kids is just depressing.  

    It is still a Chipotle, so I forgive.  Everytime we order here they make monster sized burritos, which is probably more a sign of poor training than quality, but who cares.

    Still the best quick burrito on Long Island, with quality ingredients.

    And if you listen very carefully... you can still hear Chumbawamba, Lou Bega and a Freshman yuking in the distance.

    My wife and I used to frequent this Chipotle several times a week because the food is always fresh and tasty, but also because the manager and the regular staff were always friendly and generous with their serving sizes.  The only flaw with the location is the small parking lot and occasional rush from Hofstra/sporting events but its usually not too bad.

    Yes, I know they're all the same, but I visit this Chipotle (across from Nassau Coliseum) several times a week so figured I'd gear my review for this one.  Most of the friendly staff and both of the managers (Jimmy & Brian) know me by name since I'm always in there (steak fajita burrito - NO RICE!) so I want to first give them my compliments for terrific service with a smile, no matter how busy they are!

    Unlike Baja Fresh or Green Cactus, the standard Chipotle burrito does NOT come with tortilla chips or the salsa sides that the former two provide, but that still doesn't sway my decision to continuously visit Chipotle over their competition.

    When ordering, choose from three tacos, a burrito (beans & rice) a fajita burrito (peppers & onions and rice) a burrito bowl (no bread), or a salad.  After that, choose a meat - I stick with the steak, but there's also carnitas (shredded beef, also spicy).  if you want to tone it down, choose either the chicken (medium hot) or pork (mildly seasoned).  There's also a veggie option which comes with a generous helping of guacamole for no additional charge (it costs extra if you add it to one of the four "meat" options)

    Once you've picked your meat (or veggie) base, it's on to the toppings.  Unlike some of the other places that nickel and dime you for extra toppings, you have free reign over what you'd like to add in.  There's black or pinto beans, peppers & onions, and the cilantro-lime seasoned rice.  As you slide down the assembly line, choose from three different types of salsas, a delicious corn chili, sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole (costs extra, unless you ordered veggie) and lettuce.

    All of the ingredients are derived from humane means, animal products are free of antibiotics and hormones, and some other ingredients are organically produced.  Needless to say, flavors are intense and rich, regardless of what you order.  This place is definitely worth a visit if you're looking for quality ingredients in a casual "fast-food" atmosphere!

    Chipotle at Uniondale-
    After our movie at Raceway10, we headed to Chipotle on Old Country Road but the crowd was just to much.
    Just south of this location on Hempstead is another Chipotle across the street from Hofstra University. A short drive later and we are all ordering Burritos.
    Fortunately it is Sunday and there is no crowd from the university.

    I got the Fajita Burrito+chicken+Fresh Tomato+ chili-Corn and Chips & Guacamole.  Everything was fresh and tasty.

    The whole gang got a burrito-combo and everyone was happy.
    Servers were friendly, the place is clean and the food is delicious. There is enough parking in the lot and on the side street.
    We'll definitely be back!

    They have awesome burritos. I cannot get enough of the lime rice. If you love spicy food, try their spicy adobo steak with extra red-chili salsa. This combo has just the right amount of heat.

    The burritos are huge but I always end up finishing it. I can't resist.

    This place is biting Moe's style sooooooo bad.  Plus it's over-priced.  Some may argue that the quality is superior at chipotle, but really it's marginally better.  If you fid yourself at Chipotle you are by no means a health-nut.  If you're "above" eating at Moe's, then venture in to the city for Barrio Chino or Mesa Coyoacan; or even La Esquina.  Pieces.

    Love the Chipotle.  This location made me a fat burrito without me having to prod them not to skimp.  With a Negra Modelo this is the perfect lunch stop.
