Chipotle Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Ann Arbor

do i ever have a tale to tell. walked in, the place is empty. then my man walks up behind the bar and looks me over. he asks what i want. i say two burritos, which kills me, because i learned last summer that when you order two they tend to be smaller. (when you want two, bring a buddy to order one of them). (also, don’t order online for obvious reasons). back to it then: my partner wanted steak if it looked fresh and chicken otherwise. fresh? sure. i say white rice and black beans. the steak looks like soup so i ask what the other stuff is. chicken and chicken al pastor. chicken sounds safer and so i say that, and that the other one is veggie. he says there are no veggies. that bums me out. no veggies? that happened to me once when i ordered online: ended up with a tortilla blanket full of rice, cheese, and sour cream. that's a meal for my buddy who doesn't like colors, not me. no my man is kinda slow -- you know, somewhere between graceful and this is the first day on the job and, well, high. and i have a lot of empathy for that because people tend to think i'm high most of the time. but ask the people who know me: i'm actually straight edge, one of those people the dare program actually worked on. not saying that is a good thing, just stating the truth. honesty is my new policy. that's a program they should try on the youth. anyway, no veggies. my man turns around real slow and asks another guy near the grill if there are any veggies back there. guy says no. my guy asks how long. other guy says he's not cooking any. this now feels like some sort of standoff. need a negotiator, some kind of treaty, you know, a deal. but then the other guy shrugs and turns around and says five minutes. now some other people start flowing in -- singles, couples, groups, wow. my guy asks me whether i want to wait for the veggies. i usually say, nah, whatever is easier for you. but this is the new me. an advocate for my for partner, who is about to give birth, and, sure, for me too. empowerment and entitlement can be hard to disentangle, but i'll call it empowerment today. i say i'll wait. so he parks those burritos right there in the middle of his pipeline. i sit down on a stool and watch how it all goes. i feel a little sorry for him, but not too much, as he struggles to take people's orders, as the line builds, and as he has to hoist each burrito, or bowl, or quesadilla over my sad burritos. and now (!) i notice that not one person blinks at the lack of veggies. what could this mean? is it me? is this anxiety? am i that guy that doesn't tip? someone who asks someone who's shared a trauma whether it was hard? i shake my head. gotta be better. but the veggies are still cooking and people still coming. now another worker guy is there, punching in, and another striding to the register. might as well pay now, right? he asks me what i got. i think, well that's difficult to say. a veggie without veggies? while i'm thinking about it, my guy tells the register guy that i got a veggie with guac and chicken with guac, both burritos, but, no, wait, no guac on the veggie, yeah. strange, i think. i did go for the guac. fruit if i can't have veggies, right? but he's probably taking a shortcut. smart. you don't have to pay for the guac on veggie orders. see, i'm doing it again. it's in that lasso show: be curious, not judgemental. so real. gotta be better. now there is more fumbling burritos over my burritos, a little chit-chat between me and the register guy, and then there they are --veggies! and then another guy appears. register guy says he's the master burrito folder. good chemicals rush to my brain. what good fortune! the burritos are big boys. the missing veggies made my guy think there was more room than there ways. but, wait -- no! my guy starts folding my burrito and . . . woof. i've always thought i was be a terrible folder, and so, in a way, i saw myself in my guy. he crushes it -- actually crushes it. there's the guac bleeding out, there's the sour cream, oh, and some rice hemorrhaging out. dang, i hit the review...

This location is unreliable. We ordered take out twice in the last two weeks. The first time there was an additional 20 min wait past the scheduled pickup time while there was no one else in line in front of us. The black beans were super spicy, we had ordered them in every dish. The adults could handle it but not our toddler. Who puts spicy options in a kids meal? We brushed it off as a preparation mistake that day.

Last night, we ordered take out for a road trip. The black beans were super spicy again, so this seems to be a regular thing at this location. I was joking with my husband about the art of making a burrito where you somewhat disperse the various ingredients throughout the piece. For half the thing, I was just munching on black beans and rice, it was so dry. Then I got suspicious and turned on the light to check. My burrito only contained beans and rice, and heaps of cheese were waiting for me in the second half. I had ordered a veggie burrito with fajita veggies, beans, rice, guac, salsa and lettuce. Apart from the beans and rice everything was missing. And I had basically ordered a vegan dish and the second half was not something I wanted. I called the store to request a refund but no one answered the phone. I ended up speaking to a live agent via chat support who gave me a promo code for a free entree in the next 30 days.

Because we were still driving I started reading aloud the reviews on here. Turns out this location seems to frequently run out of fresh ingredients. My husband realized his burrito did not contain lettuce either. We are now wondering whether they had simply run out of fresh stuff and filled my burrito with the things they had left. Our burritos were also much smaller than usual. If our suspicion is indeed the case, it's obviously unacceptable to not tell the customer that you were unable to fulfill an order as purchased and still charge full price.

You only know what's in a take out burrito until you are on your way and diving in. We will not order from this...
