Remember when Chipotle was the darling of the fast food world? People were enamored with it because the burritos were the size of small babies. The chain could seemingly do no wrong. Now, the luster has worn off entirely, and people a fed up with high prices and tiny portion sizes.
Social media is filled with users airing their grievances about Chipotle’s food, along with photos of itty-bitty burritos and half-filled bowls. They’ve also taken to filming Chipotle workers as they assemble their order, claiming that it results in a larger portion (and some animosity, unsurprisingly). It’s so prevalent that even a Wells Fargo restaurant analyst did an investigative study to determine just what’s going on with burrito sizes at the chain. The results were that the weight of the same burrito ordered from different locations varied wildly.
Chipotle claims that portion sizes haven’t changed, but we’re not buying it. At the very least, ordering from Chipotle is a total gamble now. Here are ridiculous photos of small burritos and bowls that Chipotle customers uploaded to Reddit’s r/Chipotle forum that prove it.

“Dude… I was with Chipotle for 7 years, 1 as a crew member/trainer, 2 as a SM, 1 as a KM, 1 as an AM, and 2 with corporate opening new stores and training GMs/owners… I’d fire every single person in management at that store if I saw a bowl like this sent out. This is just disgraceful.” – u/walmart-wizard
