Secret Menu Items at Chipotle
Chipotle is known for its fresh ingredients, massive burritos, and fully customizable menu, but did you know there’s a secret menu filled with extra-large portions, unique burrito styles, and hidden add-ons? While Chipotle doesn’t have an official secret menu, insiders and frequent customers have discovered creative ways to maximize their meals and unlock hidden flavors.
Here’s your ultimate guide to Chipotle’s best secret menu items and customization hacks!
1. The Quesarito (Burrito Wrapped in a Quesadilla)
If you’re craving a next-level burrito, ask for your burrito to be wrapped in a quesadilla instead of a regular tortilla.
Your tortilla will be stuffed with melted cheese before being rolled up with your fillings.
The result? A cheesy, melty, gooey burrito masterpiece!
💡 Pro Tip: Some locations may charge extra or refuse this request during busy hours, so be polite and ask nicely!
2. The Burritodilla (Burrito-Style Quesadilla)
If you love quesadillas but want more fillings, try the Burritodilla:
Ask for a quesadilla, but request half the amount of filling from a regular burrito.
Your ingredients will be sandwiched between two toasted tortillas, making a thinner, crispier burrito alternative.
3. Nachos (They’re Real!)
While Chipotle doesn’t list nachos on the menu, you can still order them!
Ask for a bowl of chips as your base instead of rice.
Load it up with your favorite toppings, like beans, meat, cheese, salsa, and guac.
Add a side of queso or sour cream for next-level dipping.
4. The 3-Pointer Burrito (Budget-Friendly Hack)
Want to save money? Order the 3-Pointer Burrito, which only includes three fillings of your choice.
Options: Meat, beans, rice, veggies, cheese, or salsa.
Since it’s a simpler burrito, it costs less than a fully loaded one!
💡 Pro Tip: Some locations may not recognize this term, so just ask for a burrito with three ingredients for a lower price.
5. Double-Wrapped Burrito
Need a sturdier burrito that won’t fall apart? Ask for a double tortilla.
Your burrito will be wrapped in two tortillas for extra support.
Great for extra-large burritos that might break apart!
6. Extra Shells on the Side
Ordering tacos or a burrito bowl? You can ask for extra taco shells or a tortilla on the side!
Perfect for creating DIY tacos or burritos with any leftovers.
Some locations offer these for free or at a very small charge.
7. The Taco Salad (Secret Menu Bowl)
Want a low-carb option? Make your own taco salad!
Order a bowl with romaine lettuce as the base.
Add your favorite toppings like meat, beans, cheese, and salsa.
Top it with crushed chips, guacamole, or queso for extra crunch.
8. The Fully-Loaded Quesadilla
Chipotle’s quesadilla is usually simple, but you can customize it into a full meal!
Ask for extra toppings like beans, meat, or salsa inside your quesadilla.
This turns a regular quesadilla into a mini burrito experience!
💡 Pro Tip: Some locations will only let you order quesadillas via online or app ordering.
9. The “Double Everything” Burrito
Want a bigger burrito without paying for two?
Ask for extra rice, beans, and veggies (which are usually free!).
Some locations may also give you double meat for an extra charge.
End result? A burrito so massive, it’s basically two in one!
10. Chipotle’s Secret Guacamole Hack
Did you know you can get free guacamole at Chipotle?
Order a veggie bowl or burrito—guacamole is included at no extra cost!
If you order meat, guac costs extra, but you can sometimes get a small portion for free on the side.
11. The "Cheesy Gordita Crunch" Chipotle Edition
Love Taco Bell’s Cheesy Gordita Crunch? You can recreate it at Chipotle!
Order tacos with a soft tortilla and a hard shell inside.
Add melted cheese in between the two shells.
Load it up with your favorite fillings for a Chipotle-style take on a fast-food classic!
12. The Fajita Veggies and Sofritas Mix
For a veggie-packed meal, ask for:
Fajita veggies (peppers & onions) + sofritas (spiced tofu)
Extra black beans for a protein boost!
This mix adds tons of flavor without needing meat.
13. Spicy Queso Dip Hack
If you love spice, take your queso to the next level!
Ask for queso blanco with extra hot salsa mixed in.
Add a side of jalapeños for even more heat!
14. The Chipotle Burrito Bowl Burrito
Can’t decide between a burrito and a bowl? Get both!
Order a burrito bowl with all your toppings.
Ask for a tortilla on the side.
This lets you build your own burrito with leftovers or eat the bowl as is!
15. The “Protein Lover’s” Bowl
Want a high-protein meal?
Order a bowl with double meat (or mix two types of protein!).
Add extra beans, cheese, and guacamole for more protein.
Skip the rice to keep it lower-carb.
How to Order a Secret Menu Item at Chipotle
Because these items aren’t listed on the menu, it’s important to order them by describing the ingredients instead of using a secret menu name. Here’s how to do it right:
✅ Be polite – Some locations may not allow every customization. ✅ Know the recipe – Explain what you want step-by-step. ✅ Expect possible upcharges – Extra meat, guac, or queso may cost more. ✅ Be patient – Secret menu items can take a little longer to prepare.
