Chipotle Hours: When Chipotle Opens and Closes (November 2026)

Typical Chipotle hours

Chipotle hours are simpler than most fast-food chains: there is no breakfast daypart and no separate drive-thru schedule, so a restaurant opens once, late in the morning, and serves the full menu until it closes. Opening time is almost always 10:45 AM. Closing time is where restaurants differ — 11 PM is the most common in our sample, 10 PM the second.

Chipotle hours on weekends

Weekends do not change much at Chipotle. 19 of the 24 restaurants we checked list exactly the same hours on Saturday and Sunday as on a weekday. The exceptions are restaurants inside office districts and malls: one Chicago Loop location shortened its weekend to 11 AM – 8 PM, the Market Street restaurant in San Francisco closed for the whole weekend, and in all 2 restaurants closed on Sunday altogether. If you are heading to a downtown Chipotle on a Sunday, check its hours first.

Early openings and late closings

A handful of restaurants open earlier than 10:45 AM — 6 in our sample, in Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco — at 10:00 or 10:30 AM, in malls as well as on neighborhood streets. At the other end, 1 restaurant stayed open until midnight. Midnight is the exception rather than a big-city rule: Manhattan, Los Angeles and Chicago restaurants in our sample all closed by 11 PM.

Hours of every restaurant we checked

These are the regular weekly hours each restaurant listed for online ordering. They show how Chipotle hours vary within one city as well as between cities.

Ordering ahead and the last order

The app and chipotle.com let you schedule a pickup order before the restaurant opens; the earliest slot is the opening time. The last online slot is a few minutes before closing, and the crew may stop serving walk-ins a little before the door closes. Delivery through Chipotle's own app uses the same hours, but it can end earlier when couriers are short. Delivery orders are also priced from a separate menu that is 30% higher — see the Chipotle menu with prices.

Catering and group orders

Catering has its own timing: Chipotle asks for orders at least 24 hours in advance for its catering menu, and the pickup time must fall within the restaurant's hours. Group orders through the app follow the normal hours. Prices: Chipotle catering.

Where the hours come from

Hours were read on October 27, 2026 from the online ordering pages of 24 Chipotle restaurants in 19 US cities — the same restaurants used for our Chipotle prices by city. Hours change for holidays and local events, and each restaurant can change its own; the app always shows the current hours of a specific restaurant.
