Chipotle - Kingston

We ordered the Burrito Bowl and their other goodness like we have many times before... but this time they had cauliflower rice!! The amount of varied colorful veggies in our dinner was amazing (and the guacamole, I mean seriously

Chipotle was one of the first chain restaurants in the 1990s to cater to vegetarian customers. Their website features a helpful nutritional calculator where you can customize your meal and see the ingredients and calories. The company aims to use real, local, and organic ingredients, and now they are catering to vegan customers as well. Chipotle is known for its socially responsible practices and offers vegan options such as salads, burritos, bowls, and tacos. Their new Quesadillas do not have a vegan cheese option, but they have vegan fillings like Veggies and Sofritas, which is a tofu-based meat substitute. The chain also offers vegan beans, rice, guacamole, and salsa options. You can customize your meal with various toppings and avoid non-vegan options like meat, cheese, queso blanco, and sour cream. Chipotle offers fast and tasty food in a cafeteria-style setting, and my recent visit to their restaurant in Kingston's mall area was enjoyable. The burritos cost around $9 to $11, with the option to add premium toppings like guacamole. Overall, Chipotle is a great choice for those who enjoy vegan Mexican food made with whole ingredients.

In the 1990s, Chipotle was one of the first chain restaurants to cater to vegetarian customers. Their website features a helpful nutrition calculator that allows you to customize a meal based on your preferences, including ingredients and calorie count. Chipotle is committed to using real, local, and organic ingredients, and now also focuses on meeting the needs of vegan customers. They offer a variety of vegan options such as Salad, Burritos, Burrito Bowls, and Tacos. Unfortunately, their new Quesadillas do not have a vegan cheese option. The Veggies and Sofritas (tofu-based meat substitute) are both vegan filling options with great texture. Chipotle also offers vegan beans, rice, guacamole, and various salsa choices. You can customize your meal with options like Romaine lettuce and different salsas. It's important to avoid meats, cheeses, queso blanco, and sour cream if you're vegan. Recently, I visited Chipotle's location in Kingston and enjoyed a quick and delicious burrito. They operate cafeteria-style, where you can customize your meal, pay at the register, and dine in or take out. My two vegan burritos cost around $9 and $11 each, with the second one including guacamole as an additional cost. Chipotle offers a tasty option for vegan Mexican food made with whole-food ingredients.

I have been following a vegan diet for 15 years and was a vegetarian for 25 years before that. I have not consumed beef in over 45 years. I ordered a sofrito burrito and ate a few bites while driving in a hurry. I soon realized there were chunks of something with an unfamiliar texture and, unfortunately, I swallowed before realizing it may have been steak. I immediately pulled over, called the restaurant, and they confirmed the mistake - they had thought I ordered a steak burrito instead of a sofrito one. While some may not understand the severity of the situation, as someone who follows a plant-based diet, I was deeply upset by the incident. They offered me a gift card as compensation, but I have not returned to the restaurant since this incident, which happened almost 10 years ago.

We ordered the Burrito Bowl and other delicious items that we have enjoyed many times in the past... but this time they had cauliflower rice!! The assortment of vibrant vegetables in our meal was incredible (and the guacamole, I mean seriously...)
