Chipotle Mexican Grill

Chipotle scores a D+ and ranks in the lower tier compared to similar restaurants, outperforming only about 31% of facilities in its category. Temperature control has been a persistent problem across multiple inspections, with improper hot holding flagged in May 2023, October 2023, and again in October 2025, suggesting systemic issues with equipment or procedures despite periods of clean inspections. After a significant violation spike in October 2025 that triggered a mandatory follow-up, the facility passed that follow-up in November 2025 and has remained largely compliant since, showing recent improvement despite a minor cold holding violation in March 2026.
