Score
Chipotle Mexican Grill appears in inspection records 17 times, starting in 2022. The most recent report on file is from Apr 17, 2026. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around three violations to closer to zero violations per visit over the last few inspections.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “repairing-premises structures attachments and fixtures-methods”, showing up five times.
Compared to the broader Brighton restaurant scene, where the average is 88, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
