Score
The health department has logged 23 inspections at Chipotle Mexican Grill, the earliest from 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Apr 21, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near five violations per visit across recent inspections.
Across the inspection history, “employee with no beard guard/restraint while engaging” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded eight times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Windermere restaurants. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
