Chipotle testing chorizo

June 29, 2016

Chipotle Mexican Grill announced in a recent press release that it is adding chorizo, a spicy chicken and pork sausage, to the menu in select locations, including Columbus, Ohio; New York City (Manhattan locations); Sacramento and San Diego, Denver, and Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C.

The company expects to expand chorizo to all of its U.S. restaurants this fall.

"Since we opened the first Chipotle 23 years ago, our menu has changed very little, and our focus has been on constantly improving the quality and taste of the food we serve," Steve Ells, Chipotle founder, chairman, and co-CEO, said in the report. "While we have never been opposed to changing our menu, we only do so when we think there's an opportunity to add something that is really unique but that fits within our overall menu, and where we can find ingredients that meet our high standards."
