Chipotle Prices Increase: Burrito and Guacamole Cost More

Chipotle fans, brace yourselves: your go-to burrito just got a little pricier. The popular chain recently announced a 2% increase in prices across all menu items in response to inflation.

According to Laurie Schalow, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer for Chipotle, this marks the first price hike in over a year. The decision was made to help offset rising costs of ingredients like avocados and dairy, as well as to maintain the quality and portion sizes that customers have come to expect.

So, next time you’re ordering that burrito bowl with extra guac, be prepared to shell out a bit more. But rest assured, Chipotle remains committed to providing delicious and satisfying meals, even as prices fluctuate.
