Changing the way the world thinks about and eats fast food. 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, we brought features from the realm of fine dining to the world of quick-service restaurants. Over 20 years later, our devotion to finding the very best ingredients we can--with respect for animals, farmers, and the environment--is shown through our Food With Integrity commitment. And as we grow, our dedication to creating an exceptional experience for our customers is the natural result of cultivating a culture of genuine, rewarding opportunities for our employees.
