I applied online. I interviewed at Chipotle (Newark, NJ) in Jan 2015
Interview
Took about 2 1/2 weeks for a response. Went in 30 minutes early but waited a lot longer for the interview to start. I was a bit nervous but the girl made me comfortable. Look up your facts about chipotle ie, founder as well as what food with integrity is. Took all of 5 to 8 minutes. SMILE SMILE SMILE !! Be friendly. If you're an introvert like me, fake it !! & practice!! Got a call back but I declined. Goodluck, you can do it !!
Easy, straight forward questions. Started as a group interview and ended up being offered the job along with 2 other people. It was very casual and no pressure. Interviewer was friendly.

I applied online. I interviewed at Chipotle (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2026
Interview
Very brief, was only asked a few questions. I felt a decision about not hiring me was made before the interviewer even sat down. I suspect the interviewer was not accustomed to interviewing and may actually only standing in for a manager that was not working that day
