CHIPOTLE OPENS ON NEWPORT PENINSULA!
06.25.11
By Sheryll Alexander
No longer do sun seekers or Newport Beach locals have to make the trek to Costa Mesa or Huntington Beach as a brand new Chipotle opens on Tuesday, July 28, right on Newport Boulevard between 31st and 32nd streets (and open from 10 a.m.-11 p.m.!)
We love Chipotle Mexican Grill for the locally-sourced and organic produce, naturally-raised meats and build-you-own tacos, burritos and burrito “bowls” (a burrito without the tortilla served in a bowl). Every time we visit Chipotle, we are impressed with the quality of the ingredients, the delicious fresh salsa choices, the juicy meats, the jasmine rice, the tender beans and the salty and crisp chips (and like-homemade guac!).
You gotta love a fast casual restaurant that is serious about bringing its customers top-notch ingredients. How serious is Chipotle? All meats come from animals that are humanely raised and never given antibiotics or hormones, including dairy products. Chipotle CEO Steve Ellis calls it “food with integrity” and we appreciate his vision and commitment to feed his guests healthy foods.
In fact, Ellis claims his restaurants serve more naturally-raised meats and local produce than any other restaurant in the country (about 100 million pounds in 2011 alone!). Don’t buy it? Ellis backs up his claim: the Newport Beach Chipotle restaurant will source bell peppers, jalapeños, and romaine from Cinagro Farms in Fillmore, Calif. and herbs from Herbthyme Farms in Pico Rivera, Calif.
Chipotle Newport Peninsula, The Landing/Pavilions Shopping Center, 3101 Newport Blvd., Newport Beach, 949-200-4354.
