Vegan Chicken at Chipotle

If you live in the Los Angeles area, you can now order vegan chicken at Chipotle.
This option is not available at all LA area Chipotle restaurants. In fact, it's only available at two of their stores:
- 244 South Beverly Dr. - Beverly Hills, CA 90212
- 121 N. La Cienega Blvd., #114 - Los Angeles, CA 90048 (right by the Beverly Center)
For some vegans, the idea of eating in an omnivore-oriented restaurant is not palatable (pardon the pun) because, by eating at this type of establishment you could be said to be supporting the unnecessary slaughtering of animals for food. But PeTA is urging you to try the vegan chicken at Chipotle, and we are too. The more people who ask for vegan fare, the fewer animals who are ultimately slaughtered. And, if we can get the fast food chains to start carrying vegan fare as part of their standard menu, then omnivores who don't have the slightest idea what "vegan" means might find themselves eating vegan. Of course, it's "fast food" so there's the whole issue of whether or not it's healthy food, but that's fodder for another post.
If you live in the Beverly Hills area, or if you'll be visiting, I urge you to go to either of these two Chipotles and order the vegan chicken burrito. This mock-meat burrito features Garden Blend: mock chicken strips marinated in chipotle adobo sauce and then grilled. The burrito also comes with black beans, rice, and toppings. Bring your friends. Bring your carnivore friends and offer them a taste. Let them see that they can eat well without having to eat meat. The only way that vegan food will become accepted into the mainstream food establishments is if the restaurants feel that enough people are willing to order the product.
So if you live in Los Angeles, or happen to be visiting, make sure to go to either of these two Chipolte restaurants and order the vegan chicken burrito.

They’re in the sacramento area (Roseville) on Pleasant Grove and Fairway Dr. I tried the garden blend and it was fair- not the best vegan chick’n out there. What ticked me, is that I asked them to substitute the cheese and sour cream for guacamole, but they wouldn’t and said it was $1.65 extra. I pleaded to just put the guac on there as a substitute, but they wouldn’t do it without the fee. I probably won’t be going back, because it wasn’t that good and chipotle will stain your underwear.

I live in the Midwest and unfortunately the Chipotle restaurants in Illinois and Michigan don’t have these vegan options (at least the one’s I have visited). Since most things enlightened in this country begin in the west and move east, at least we can hope for changes like this in the future. Until then, we have to look at other establishments.This is encouraging though.

the only experience I have with Chipotle was in Cleveland Ohio and I loved it! It was a gem in a city where I thought I’d have to graze on veggies and fruits from the super walmart. i was able to make my own great salad of rice and beans and veggies that was awesome and filling. Love chipotle and wish they would come to meat-centric buffalo new york.
