Quick answer: a Chipotle kids meal costs $5.70 (two tacos) or $4.60 (cheese quesadilla) at the typical restaurant, and each includes a side of fruit or kid's chips and an organic juice or milk. Adding meat to the quesadilla makes it $5.20.
Kids meal prices
Kids meal prices at Chipotle are almost flat across proteins: the Build Your Own costs the same whether your child picks chicken, steak, barbacoa or guacamole. The quesadilla has two prices — cheese only, or cheese with one protein. The price includes the side and the drink, so there is nothing else to add at the counter.
Kids meal prices at Chipotle
| Menu item | In restaurant | Restaurant range |
|---|---|---|
| Kid's Build Your Own (tacos) | $5.70 | $5.10 – $5.95 |
| Kid's Cheese Quesadilla | $4.60 | $4.15 – $4.95 |
| Kid's Quesadilla with chicken | $5.20 | $4.70 – $5.80 |
Kid's Build Your Own
The Build Your Own kids meal is a small version of the tacos: two soft flour or crispy corn tortillas, one protein — or guacamole or queso instead — and two toppings such as rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, lettuce or a mild salsa. Most kids build them into two small tacos. At $5.70 it costs about 58% of an adult bowl, for roughly half the food.
Kid's Quesadilla
The Kid's Quesadilla is a small flour tortilla folded over melted Monterey Jack, served with rice and beans on the side. The standard version is cheese only at $4.60; chicken, steak, carnitas, barbacoa, sofritas or pollo asado can be added inside for $5.20 in all. Chipotle lists it at 530–710 calories with the side and drink.
Sides and drinks in the kids meal
Every Chipotle kids meal includes one side and one drink. The side is fruit — Chipotle's nutrition sheet lists a mandarin and blueberries — or a small bag of kid's chips. The drink is organic milk, organic chocolate milk or organic apple juice. A fountain drink, if you want one instead, costs $3.20 separately.
Portions and calories
Chipotle publishes kids menu nutrition separately, with smaller portions: 2 oz of protein instead of 4, 2 oz of rice and 3 oz of beans. A meal of two soft chicken tacos with beans and cheese, a mandarin and milk comes to about 615 calories and 35 g of protein. With chips and chocolate milk instead, the same tacos are around 770.
