"According to a Quora user who claimed to work as a kitchen manager at Chipotle, the carnitas are incredibly fatty. Sure, pork tends to be on the fattier side, but the richness of this meat may be too much for some diners. Another user who claimed to be a grill chef at the chain said on the same thread that the carnitas contain "insane amounts of fatty meat.""
"Chipotle is the place where you can get a dish that's perfectly customized to your taste. There's no need to settle for a specific menu item when you can dictate every ingredient that goes into your bowl, burrito, or tacos (although the latter isn't a great deal). This may make you feel like every item is fair game, but there are plenty of them that you're better off avoiding. These items may not always taste good, aren't always very fresh,"
Chipotle offers customizable bowls, burritos, and tacos, but not every menu item delivers good flavor, freshness, or value. Several items can be overly fatty or bland, and some ingredients arrive pre-cooked rather than freshly prepared. Carnitas in particular are described as extremely fatty and lacking expected flavor, with reports that the meat is pre-cooked before delivery to locations. Diners may prefer other protein choices at the chain. Customers should consider ingredient quality and value when ordering to improve their Chipotle experience, while personal preferences ultimately determine what to skip.
