Welcome Chipotle - Toluca Lake


Love Chipotle - been a big fan since the mid 1990s when I was living in Denver, CO. Missed them dearly once I moved to Burbank, CA in 1996. Needless to say, I was very excited a few years back when Burbank's first Chipotle opened on Palm Ave. in downtown Burbank. The only problem was that because of its location on the walkway - there just wasn't any convenient way to quickly run in and get food to go. My dilemma was finally solved though last week with the opening of the second - yes second Chipotle location in Burbank/ Toluca Lake.

Chipotle Toluca Lake/Burbank is located at the site of the former El Torito Restaurant and Cantina on the corner of Riverside Dr. and Pass Ave. Parking is convenient with its own lot next to the building so running in to grab a quick burrito or taco is a snap. My particular favorite is the Vegetarian Burrito that comes standard with guacamole. See you at Chipotle!
