Through our vision of Food With Integrity, Chipotle is seeking better food from using ingredients that are not only fresh, but that—where possible—are sustainably grown and naturally raised with respect for the animals, the land, and the farmers who produce the food.

Chipotle opened with a single restaurant in 1993 and currently operates more than 1,300 restaurants.
