We refresh our pricing regularly using a dataset that covers thousands of US Chipotle locations, and we publish national averages rather than a single fixed price. Because Chipotle prices vary by location and can change at any time, always confirm the exact price at your local restaurant or in the Chipotle app.

As of 2026, a chicken burrito or bowl averages about $9.79 nationally, steak and barbacoa about $11.68, and carnitas about $10.53. Burritos and bowls are priced the same. Prices range from roughly $8.30 at the cheapest US stores to over $12 in high-cost cities like New York, so always check your local price.

A side of chips is the cheapest item, around $2.00. A single taco (about $3.50) and kids meals (about $5) are among the lowest-cost full options. For the most food per dollar, a Veggie or Sofritas bowl is a strong value because guacamole is included free.

Guacamole is only free on Veggie and Sofritas orders. On any other order it is an extra charge, about $2.91 for a scoop on a bowl or burrito, or roughly $4.91 for chips and guac. Prices vary by location.

Chips and guacamole average about $4.91 nationally. Chips on their own are around $2.00, and a side of guacamole is about $2.91. Large sizes cost more, and prices vary by location.

Yes. Chipotle offers a Kids Quesadilla and a Kids Build-Your-Own meal, each averaging around $5 and including a side and a drink. Exact prices vary by location.

It depends entirely on how you build it. A typical chicken bowl with rice, beans, salsa, and cheese is roughly 750 to 800 calories, while a lighter salad-base bowl can be under 500. Adding guacamole, extra rice, or double protein raises the total. Use our nutrition tools to calculate your exact build.

Most of Chipotle’s menu is naturally gluten-free, including all proteins, rice, beans, salsas, and toppings, so bowls and salads are generally safe. The flour tortilla used for burritos, quesadillas, and soft tacos contains gluten, so choose crispy corn tacos instead. Note that Chipotle is not a certified gluten-free kitchen, so cross-contact is possible.

Chipotle’s Sofritas (organic braised tofu) is fully plant-based, along with rice, beans, fajita veggies, all four salsas, romaine, and guacamole. Skip the cheese and sour cream to keep it vegan. A Sofritas or Veggie bowl also comes with free guacamole.

You earn 10 points for every $1 spent (12 points per $1 for verified students in Chipotle U). A free entree costs 1,625 points, and you can also redeem fewer points for smaller rewards. Points expire after 12 months of account inactivity, and third-party delivery orders through DoorDash or Uber Eats do not earn points.

Most US Chipotle locations are open daily from about 10:45 AM to 11:00 PM, though hours vary by store. Chipotle is closed only on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, and closes early on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Always confirm your local hours in the Chipotle app.

Chipotle rarely uses traditional discount codes. Real deals run through the Chipotle Rewards program and app, plus occasional limited-time promotions announced on Chipotle’s official channels. Be cautious of third-party sites advertising "25% off" codes, as those are typically not genuine.
