Feb 1    Ribbon Cutting - Chipotle Mexican Grill
Join us on Friday, February 1st to celebrate the grand opening of Chipotle Mexican Grill!

When Chipotle opened its first restaurant in 1993, the idea was simple: show that food served fast didn't have to be a “fast-food” experience. Using high-quality raw ingredients, classic cooking techniques, and distinctive interior design, they brought features from the realm of fine dining to the world of quick-service restaurants.

Over 23 years later, their devotion to seeking out the very best ingredients - raised with respect for animals, farmers, and the environment - remains at the core of our commitment to Food With Integrity. And as they've grown, Chipotle's mission has expanded to ensuring that better food is accessible to everyone.
