Ok, anyone that follows me on Twitter knows that I have a slight obsession with chips & salsa. It doesn’t end there though. I’m ALWAYS down for a little Mexican. One of my favorite places to grab good, fast Mexican is Chipotle Mexican Grill. They make your food to order and right in front of you allowing you to customize your taco, burrito or salad as you go.
Separately from my obsession with Mexican food, I had been waiting for an iPhone app to come out that would allow you to complete the ENTIRE ordering process for a restaurant from your phone. You see, I want to be able to take care of everything on my phone, walk in, grab my bag o’ food and walk out. There have been a couple of apps that have come out, but none of them were for restaurants that I tend to go to. No help there.
Enter the Chipotle Mexican Grill iPhone app.
The app is location-based so grant it permission and it will find the closest Chipotle to you. You can view their entire menu, including pictures of the food. You can place an order and pay for it (securely, of course). All from your iPhone. For those of us (ahem, pointing a finger at myself) that tend to be frequent customers, you can even make an entire purchase a “favorite”. So, the next time you have a craving, all you have to do is load up your favorite order, pay and you’re off to the races. Of course, you have to sign up for an account for it to remember all of that, but hey, what DON’T you have to sign up for an account with nowadays.
This isn’t the first time the app was released. Back in January Chipotle apparently tried releasing this app into the wild. It did so well that the app couldn’t handle it so it had to be taken down, the process refined and now it’s back.
Have you tried this app yet? What are your thoughts about completing an entire food order from your phone? I’m curious to hear your thoughts…

As a diehard Chipotle fan, I jumped on this app the day it came out
I actually haven't used it fully by actually ordering but the functionality and options are just like you're there in person. Will use it next time I head over there!

Man, that place is amazing! I feel bad for communities that aren't lucky to
have one. Fortunate for me, there is one directly next to my wife's work
Do you dig Chipotle like @justinlevy and I do? Do you have an iPhone? Game over: http://idek.net/SIs

Justin –
I'm starting to worry about how much you and I have in common. Holy Wow. I am a HUGE chips/salsa guy…love Mexican food, and have been living on Chipotle since 1998 when it opened a block from my apartment in Chicago. I've since located a Chipotle in every city I've lived in in the past 10 years…including my new home in the 801 – http://idek.net/4_8 – Salt Lake City.
Downloading iPhone app in 3…2…1.
Thanks for alerting me of it!

I know, it's becoming kinda scary huh? It's really sad sort of…I could
eat at Chipotle every day and not get sick of it. I told my wife, who works
right next door to Chipotle, that I'm going to start placing orders from my
iPhone and having her grab it for me on her way home from work.
That's amazing! Every since I visited south Cali a couple years ago, I've had a serious permanent Mexican craving (and obviously I'm iPhone-obsessed, so the whole concept sounds amazing). Sadly we don't have Chipotle up here in Canada.
Ahh, too bad. Here's hoping to them building a few up there soon!
