    If you thought your burrito couldn’t get any better, you haven’t yet experienced the heavenliness of the quesarito. This secret menu item has been common knowledge among Chipotle enthusiasts for a while now, so if you ask a Chipotle worker to make you a quesarito, many will know exactly what to do. [1]
    • The quesarito will cost you an extra $3.50 to order.
    • If your server has absolutely no idea what you’re talking about, don’t worry! Just ask them to swap out the tortilla for a cheese quesadilla and then proceed to construct your burrito as you normally would.

    Let’s be honest, cheese is one of those things that you can never get enough of, and the double decker taco is here to satisfy your cravings. Start by ordering a standard taco (soft or hard shell), then order a soft shell taco that just has cheese in it. Wrap it around your taco and bam! Now you have a delicious double decker delight. [2]
    • You can either ask your server to wrap your tacos together for you, or you can keep them separate and do the construction yourself.

    While it might sound like a similar item to the quesarito, the burritodilla is all the deliciousness of the quesarito but with less of the mess. Whereas a quesarito is a burrito wrapped in a quesadilla, the burritodilla is a burrito with half the amount of filling surrounded by lots of cheese and all melted together in the warmer. [3]
    • If your server is in-the-know about this secret menu item, just go ahead and ask them for a burritodilla.
    • If they don’t happen to know, start by ordering a burrito and ask them to place a handful of cheese on one side. Order about half the amount of ingredients you’d put in a normal burrito, then ask for more cheese on top. Finally, have them fold it in half and place it on the warmer for a few minutes to get it nice and crispy.

    Chipotle ranks its ingredients using points depending on how expensive they are to serve. Items that are more expensive are worth 2 points (single serving of meat, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese), and everything else is 1 point. [4] So if you order an entrée that adds up to just 3 points, you’ll likely be able to save a bit on your meal. [5]
    • For example, a burrito bowl that just has rice, beans, and lettuce will add up to 3 points. Another option would be a burrito with just chicken and rice. As long as you follow the point system, make whatever combination fits your taste.

    It’s kind of hard to believe that nachos aren’t a main item on the Chipotle menu. But that doesn’t mean you can’t make your own if you find yourself with a sudden craving for them. Just ask your server to substitute the rice in your burrito bowl with chips and go about ordering as you normally would. [6]
    • Consider ordering a side of queso to pour over your nachos to help hold all the toppings together and also add some ooey-gooey cheesy goodness.

    Along with having a really awesome name, Chipotle’s dragon sauce is a super tasty hack that not many people know about. Just ask your server for a side of sour cream and a side of the tomatillo-red chili salsa. Mix them together and pour your newly-created dragon sauce on your burrito, bowl, or taco. [7]
    • The “quesadragon” got a special shout out from a Chipotle employee on TikTok, who took his helping of dragon sauce and dipped a quesadilla into it. Thus, the quesadragon was born.

    This is a hack promoted by Chipotle themselves. The company took to their official TikTok to let fans in on the secret to making spicy queso. Just order a side of queso blanco and a side of tomatillo-red chili salsa. Pour the salsa into the queso, close the lid, and give it a good shake. You’ll be left with a mouth-wateringly spicy queso that you’ll probably wish they'd just add to the official menu already. [8]

    If you find eating the ingredients in your burrito layer by layer to be rather boring, just ask your server to mix up the ingredients in your burrito before they wrap everything together. Now every bite you take will have a little bit of everything. [9]
    • Another option is to order a burrito tortilla on the side (an extra $0.50) [10] when you order a burrito bowl so that you can stir up your ingredients yourself and assemble your own burrito.

    As tempting as it is to load up on sour cream, guac, and salsa, consider leaving out these ingredients if you want a burrito that’ll stay together and leave you mess-free. This is perfect if you need something while you’re on the go or just generally want to keep your hands clean. [11]

    Technically, Chipotle isn’t even very sneaky about this one, since they state on their menu that a veggie option includes guacamole. But if you didn’t happen to know this, here’s your golden opportunity to score some guac free of charge. Sure, you’ll have to skip out on the meat this time, but it totally seems worth it. [12]

    Did you know that asking for extra toppings is completely free? Minus the premium toppings that will cost you extra for more (meat, guacamole, and queso), you can ask for extras of every topping completely free of charge. More food for free? This not-so-secret secret honestly seems too good to be true. [13]
    • On the flip side, you can also ask for “light” portions of a topping if you want a little less.

    Cilantro is one of the key ingredients Chipotle uses in many of its menu items, including the famous cilantro-lime rice, fresh guacamole, and salsa. If you want more of this leafy green, just go ahead and ask your server for a side of cilantro and sprinkle it on to your heart’s content. [14]
