Chipotle Mexican Grill Menu Updated Every Item, Price, Calorie Count and What to Actually Order
A Chipotle chicken burrito costs about $9.35 to $11.50 in 2026, depending on the city, and steak or barbacoa adds $2.00. Bowls, salads and three-taco orders cost the same as the burrito. This guide covers every item, its price and its calories.
The prices below come from Chipotle’s own ordering service, read on September 17, 2026 at restaurants in Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and New York. They exclude tax and vary by restaurant. Treat them as a reliable range, not a quote.
Calorie figures are estimates built from Chipotle’s published per-ingredient counts, because the ordering data carries no nutrition numbers. Use the nutrition calculator on chipotle.com for an exact total before you order.

Tacos
Chicken Tacos (3)
Three chicken tacos cost $9.35 to $11.50, the same as a burrito. You choose crispy corn or soft flour shells, then add protein and toppings. Expect roughly 480 to 600 calories depending on cheese, sour cream and salsa.
Steak Tacos (3)
Steak tacos run $11.35 to $13.50 for the set of three. Single steak tacos cost $4.55 to $5.40 each, so the three-taco entree saves $2.30 to $2.70 compared with ordering three singles. Calories land near 500 to 600.
Barbacoa Tacos (3)
Barbacoa tacos match steak at $11.35 to $13.50. The braised beef holds up well in a crisp shell, and the flavor is bold enough that you can skip sour cream. Three tacos with beef, salsa and cheese come to roughly 520 to 620 calories.
Carnitas Tacos (3)
Three carnitas tacos cost $10.10 to $12.25. A single carnitas taco runs $4.05 to $4.90, so the set is cheaper by about $2.05 to $2.45. Expect around 560 to 650 calories with typical toppings.

Quesadillas

Chicken Quesadilla
Chicken adds no charge to the quesadilla, so it matches the cheese price, $9.90 to $12.05. That makes it a free upgrade, since the protein brings about 180 calories and 32 grams of protein without raising the bill.
Steak Quesadilla
Steak costs $11.90 to $14.05, a $2.00 premium over the cheese version. Pollo asado quesadillas sit between at $10.50 to $12.65. If you want a lighter plate, pick the steak, since it has fewer calories than carnitas.

Barbacoa Salad
A barbacoa salad costs $11.35 to $13.50 and totals roughly 660 calories with beans, salsa, cheese and dressing. The seasoned beef has enough flavor on its own, so you can skip the dressing and save a full meal’s worth of fat.

Sides and Extras
Chips and Guacamole
So the Chips and guacamole cost $4.90 in Chicago and Houston, $5.15 in Los Angeles and $5.25 in New York. Chips alone cost $1.95 to $2.30, so the guacamole portion adds about $2.95. A bag of chips has roughly 540 calories, so share it.
Chips and Queso Blanco
Chips with queso blanco cost the same as chips with guacamole, $4.90 to $5.25. Choose queso for a milder, creamy dip and guacamole for fresh avocado flavor. Both pair well with a bowl if you want something to scoop.
Chips and Salsa
The pricing data did not list a separate chips and salsa combination. Chips alone run $1.95 to $2.30, and you can pair them with any salsa at the counter. Confirm the exact combination price in the app before you order.
Side of Guacamole
A side of guacamole is $2.95 and a large side is $5.90 in all four cities checked. The large side is exactly double the regular, so there is no volume discount. A regular side has about 230 calories.
Side of Queso Blanco
A standalone queso blanco side did not appear in the four-city data, so confirm the price in the app. The dip is a melted white cheese blend with mild heat, a good counterpoint to carnitas or barbacoa.
Side of Sour Cream
Sour cream is a free topping on entrees, and a portion has about 110 calories. A standalone side price was not in the checked data. If you want less fat, ask for light sour cream or use salsa for moisture.
Side of Cheese
Shredded Monterey Jack is a free entree topping and adds roughly 110 calories. A standalone cheese side was not priced in the data checked. It melts best on warm rice and beans, so ask for it near the bottom of the bowl.
Sides and Extras Price List 2026
| Item | Chicago | Houston | Los Angeles | New York |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chips | $1.95 | $1.95 | $2.20 | $2.30 |

Drinks
Fountain Drinks
A 22 fl oz fountain soda or iced tea costs $3.15 in Chicago and Houston, $3.20 in Los Angeles and $3.30 in New York. The 32 fl oz size costs $3.45 to $3.60, only slightly more, so the larger cup is the better value.
Organic Milk
Organic milk is part of the kids lineup. Its price did not appear in the data checked, so confirm it on the app or at the counter. It is a simple way to add protein and calcium to a kids meal.
Apple Juice
Apple juice is another kids drink option, and a standalone price was not in the checked data. It is sweeter than milk, so pair it with a protein-heavy kids meal rather than a quesadilla loaded with cheese.
Water
Bottled water is available, though no price appeared in the checked data. If you want the cheapest option, ask for a cup of water at the counter. Skipping a soda saves more than $3 and about 200 calories.
Drinks Price List 2026

Chipotle Customization Guide
Protein
Pick chicken, steak, barbacoa, carnitas, sofritas or pollo asado. Chicken, sofritas and veggie share the base price. Carnitas adds $0.75, pollo asado adds $0.60, and steak or barbacoa adds $2.00. A double portion of any meat costs extra.
Rice
You can pick white cilantro-lime rice or brown rice, and each has about 210 calories per serving. Brown rice adds a little more fiber. Ask for half a scoop if you want to cut roughly 100 calories without losing the base.
Beans
Black beans and pinto beans both have about 130 calories and 8 grams of protein per serving. Black beans taste earthier and hold their shape. Pinto beans are softer and creamier. Choose one, or ask for half of each.
Fajita Veggies
Grilled peppers and onions add about 20 calories and plenty of volume. They cost nothing extra and make a bowl feel bigger. Ask for them with every order, especially if you are skipping rice or cutting calories.
Salsas
Fresh tomato salsa has about 25 calories, tomatillo-green about 15, tomatillo-red about 30, and roasted chili-corn about 80. Heat rises from mild to hot as you move from tomato to tomatillo-red. Salsa is the lowest-calorie way to add flavor.
Dairy
Shredded cheese and sour cream each add about 110 calories. Both are free on entrees. If you want one, take the cheese, since it adds protein and melts into the rice. Skip both to save 220 calories.
Extras (Paid)
Guacamole is the main paid extra, at about 230 calories per serving, plus extra protein and queso. The extra-protein add-ons in the customizer are priced under a different delivery markup than the rest of the menu. Check the total before you pay.
Protein Calorie Breakdown 2026
Protein Nutritional Breakdown
Chipotle’s published numbers per serving show clear differences. Chicken leads on protein, steak is the leanest of the meats, and carnitas has the most calories. Sofritas has the least protein, so pair it with beans.

| Steak | 150 | 21 |
| Barbacoa | 170 | 24 |
| Carnitas | 210 | 23 |

| Bowl Build | Estimated Calories |
|---|---|
| Light: protein, fajita veggies, fresh tomato salsa, lettuce | 230 to 250 |
| Standard: protein, white rice, black beans, tomato salsa, cheese | 625 to 685 |
| Loaded: standard build plus sour cream and guacamole | 965 to 1,025 |

Chipotle Ordering Tips, What the Regulars Know
Order the three-taco entree instead of single tacos, and collect your order instead of paying for delivery. Both habits save real money. Ask for fajita veggies on everything, and treat guacamole and sour cream as deliberate choices, not defaults.
A bowl is not cheaper than a burrito, so the tortilla is the only difference. Drop it to save 320 calories, or keep it if you want a filling meal that holds together on the go.
Best Ordering Combinations at Chipotle
- High-protein bowl: double chicken, black beans, fajita veggies, fresh tomato salsa and lettuce. It runs about 540 calories and delivers roughly 72 grams of protein.
- Budget bowl: veggie bowl with rice, pinto beans, fajita veggies and salsa. It has no protein upcharge and stays near 495 calories.
- Lighter salad: steak, black beans, fajita veggies and tomato salsa with dressing on the side. It lands near 420 calories before dressing.
- Full burrito: carnitas with white rice, pinto beans, tomatillo-green salsa and cheese. It is large and filling at roughly 1,000 calories.
