I live in Vegas and some of the Chipotle locations here can be pretty atrocious. The one near UNLV is the most inconvenient, and where I'd probably use this app most frequently. I think its intended use is for people who have a lunch break that doesn't let them stand in line for 15 minutes just to order. I'll definitely be giving this a shot tomorrow on campus.
Got a tip for us?

Am I doing something wrong ? My iPhone did not taste like a burrito after I used the Chipotle app... But now my stomach hurts 
yah this app blows big time....i tried to order and it just stopped working and went to the home screen, no confirmation of order or anything...I odnt want to keep ordering and mess up someones day but i am not about to make the drive and stand in line so if it works then oh well chipotle made a burrito for someone who is not going to show. I wish you could also charge your phone to pay for your lunch...i'd use it a little more seeing how the parents pay the bill without looking haha!!
Really buggy for me, too
This seems like a cool concept but I find the app really buggy. After it downloaded, it kept saying "this application requires internet access" until I restarted it a few times. When the app finally asked to use my location info, I could see the local stores, but it then took more restarts to get to the ordering screen, and then it seems slow.
I'm a once-a-week Chipotle guy, and I would use it every time, but they need to work a few of the bugs out....of the software...the food is fine!

Just tried to download and says app isn't available in US store? Directly from iPhone says app not available. Did it just get pulled?
I'm getting the same message.
maybe they pulled it if the process was as buggy as some are reporting?
What's up with this app? I'm right across the street from Chipotle's on Telegraph in Berkeley, CA, and I'm starvin'. Forget it, I'm walking across the street...
Just tried it a few minutes ago, and apparently they've disabled the app...
Well, what the hell am I going to do about lunch now? I'm hungry dambit!
Home Depot
A store I think this concept could really be a big hit is Home Depot.
As the owner of a 100 year old house, Home Depot is a pretty regular thing on my radar. Unfortunately.
That said, it is one of my least favorite places to shop. Mainly, because the shopping experience is so difficult. What should be a 15-minute errand is no less than an hour. The Way Finding (signage) and overall organization seems less than desirable. And asking for help is not an option. Just try finding an employee in a Home Depot...
But what if I could walk in to a Home Depot with my GPS-enabled iPhone, launch their app, type in what I needed, and a store map leads me to the isle or item?
Now that would be something.

I know what you mean about home depot and I would definitely pay for this app for even one trip to the depot. I hate how you go to one store, and something is in one spot and the store just down the road everything is different. You would think companies would make things the same, like wal-mart has!
agreed. this application format has endless possibilities. it can fit into every retail aspect.
i really hope this can start catching on!
Sounds cool. Sad to read it was buggy & got pulled. Hope it gets fixed and reposted.
This would sound like a great thing to order lunch for your office with! I work at an elementary school and I'd think it would be cool to get everyone's order (along w/ the money they owe, of course) and by the time I get there (about a 15-20 minute drive), they should be ready to get and drive back.
As for what it tastes like, I like it. Okay, so it's not authentic Mexican food. So what? It still tastes good! My only problem with it (other than it being horrible for my health) is the size of the burritos. They're so big!

You think Wal-Mart is well organized? I've actually been there at night when they're purposely moving stuff around to confuse consumers. I was only in a Wal-Mart store twice last year, and it was too many times for me.
Is there a button for "could you add a little more of the corn salsa on that" or "could you put a little beans in my steak fajita burrito"? They'll usually do it if you ask, and for me customizing it just right is the difference between a very tasty burrito, and something quite bland. That, and the exorbitant guacamole, alas.
No need for the app anyway, though. The Chipotle on St. Marks in NYC is almost alway deserted during non-lunchtime hours. And I definitely can't afford $10 or 900 calories for lunch.

The best Mexican food that I've ever had, is from a little Mexican Café in downtown Ann Arbor called, Tio's. After eating there, I have to myself to eat at a restaurant like Chipotle of Chili's. The only beef I have with Tio's is the price ($37 for 2 people, and they charge $2 for a scoop of guac). But anyways, that's off topic.
I tired this app, and it sucks. Having to put in my zip each time is a PITA, as is having to put user info each time. The app also crashed on me a few times. Chipotle is going to have to make this app usable before I would even consider using, the next time I'm forced to eat a Chipotle.
