Chipotle burrito bowl prices
Burrito bowl prices at Chipotle follow the protein. Chicken, sofritas and the veggie bowl share the lowest price; pollo asado and carnitas sit in the middle; steak and barbacoa are the dearest. The price includes as much of the free fillings as the line will give you, so what you pay $9.80 for can be anything from a light lunch to a very large one.

What is in a Chipotle burrito bowl
It is built in the same order as a burrito. Each step below is free unless marked; you can ask for any of them light, extra or on the side.
- Rice — cilantro-lime white or brown rice (210 calories per scoop either way), or none.
- Beans — black or pinto (130 calories), or none.
- Protein — chicken, steak, barbacoa, carnitas, pollo asado or sofritas, or fajita veggies for the veggie bowl.
- Salsas — fresh tomato, roasted chili-corn, tomatillo-green or tomatillo-red chili; take more than one.
- Toppings — cheese, sour cream, romaine lettuce, fajita veggies; guacamole ($2.95) and queso blanco ($1.70) are extra.
Popular orders keep to this pattern. Chipotle's own presets include the Pollo Asado Burrito Bowl (white rice, black beans, pollo asado, tomato and corn salsas, cheese and guacamole — 960 calories, $13.35 with the guac at the typical restaurant) and the Lola with half steak, half chicken, queso, sour cream, cheese, guacamole and chips.
Burrito bowl vs burrito
The bowl and the burrito are priced the same, so the choice is about the tortilla. The flour tortilla adds 320 calories, 50 g of carbohydrates and 600 mg of sodium, and it is the only part of the base that contains wheat. Skipping it is therefore the easy way to a gluten-free Chipotle order (see gluten-free). Without the wrap the crew can also add more fillings than a burrito can hold — a quiet reason many regulars prefer it. If you want both, ask for a tortilla on the side ($0.50).
Chicken bowl vs chicken burrito
| Burrito bowl | Burrito | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical price | $9.80 | $9.80 |
| Calories | 655 | 975 |
| Protein | 50 g | 58 g |
| Carbs | 67 g | 117 g |
| Sodium | 1,610 mg | 2,210 mg |
| Contains wheat | no | yes (tortilla) |
Burrito bowl calories and protein
Calories depend mostly on four scoops: rice (210), beans (130), the protein (150–210) and whatever you add on top. Cheese and sour cream are 110 each, guacamole 230 and queso blanco 120 in an entrée portion. Rice, beans, chicken, salsa and cheese land at about 655 calories; with sour cream and guac it is close to 995. Below, the standard build with each protein.
Burrito bowl nutrition by protein (standard build)
| Item | Calories | Protein | Fat | Carbs | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken Bowl | 655 | 50 g | 20.5 g | 67 g | 1610 mg |
| Steak Bowl | 625 | 39 g | 19.5 g | 68 g | 1630 mg |
| Beef Barbacoa Bowl | 645 | 42 g | 20.5 g | 69 g | 1830 mg |
| Carnitas Bowl | 685 | 41 g | 25.5 g | 67 g | 1750 mg |
| Sofritas Bowl | 625 | 26 g | 23.5 g | 76 g | 1860 mg |
| Veggie Bowl | 725 | 21 g | 35.5 g | 80 g | 1820 mg |
Our calculation from Chipotle's US nutrition facts per ingredient, standard build: white rice, black beans, protein (4 oz), fresh tomato salsa and cheese; burrito adds the flour tortilla, tacos are three soft flour tortillas with lettuce, salad is supergreens with black beans, salsa, cheese and the honey vinaigrette. Your own order will differ with every scoop.
For a lighter lunch, skip the rice (−210) or ask for "light rice", go fajita veggies instead of cheese, and choose the tomatillo-green salsa (15 calories). The High Protein – Low Calorie Bowl on Chipotle's own menu does exactly that: chicken on supergreens with fajita veggies, salsa and guacamole, 470 calories and 36 g of protein. All the totals: Chipotle calories.
Bowl add-ons and their prices
What makes the order expensive is the extras. Guacamole adds $2.95 and queso $1.70; a double portion of protein ("extra chicken") adds $4.00, or $6.00 for steak. A chicken bowl with guac and extra chicken comes to about $16.75 — still cheaper than two entrées, and with 82 g of protein.
