The number we list for Chipotle is (949) 524-4000. It reaches the company rather than a restaurant, so for anything tied to a single order the help section in the Chipotle app or on chipotle.com is faster: your order number, the restaurant and the items are attached to the request automatically. Have the date, the time and the pickup or delivery method ready.

One thing decides which door you knock on: if you placed the order inside a delivery app such as DoorDash, Uber Eats or Grubhub rather than with Chipotle directly, that platform holds the payment and handles the outcome. Chipotle and the delivery app each pointing at the other? Open the case with us and our AI keeps coaching you: what to reply, when to push and how to escalate.

For an order made at the counter, take the receipt back to the restaurant and ask for the manager: they can remake the order or refund it on the spot. For a digital order, use the help section in the Chipotle app or on chipotle.com and quote the order number. Chipotle sometimes offers a credit towards a future order instead of returning the money to your card, so say clearly which of the two you want.

Photograph the order before anything is thrown away, especially a bowl that is missing items you were charged for. If a refund is refused, put the order number, the restaurant, the amount and what went wrong in your complaint, and we take it to them.

Note the restaurant address, the date and the time. Chipotle is unusual in fast food: the restaurants are company-owned rather than franchised, so a complaint about one location goes to the same customer service team that handles everything else and there is no separate owner to chase. That works in your favor, because one team can see a pattern building across visits to the same restaurant.

Say what you want to happen as well as what went wrong: a remake, a refund, or a manager who looks at how that kitchen is run at the time of day you visited.

Report it to Chipotle first through the help section in the app or on chipotle.com, or by phone on (949) 524-4000, and give the restaurant, the date, the time and exactly what you ordered: without the service window, no kitchen can be checked. Keep the receipt, and if you saw a doctor keep the record of that visit.

A suspected foodborne illness can also be reported to your local health department, which is the body that can inspect a restaurant. Chipotle has been through large foodborne illness investigations before, and those began with individual reports like yours. A complaint filed through our complaint process runs alongside that: we bring your case to their attention through emails, social media and paper complaint letters.

No. Chipotle called the viral offer of a $100 gift card for getting friends to click a link a scam, and it does not give away gift cards that way. Pages like these collect your contact details, so expect spam texts and emails if you filled one in.

Yes. We have an active community of consumers, and complaints here are public: people who ran into the same problem at Chipotle can give you advice or back you up with their own story. A complaint with a community behind it is much harder to overlook.
