The Chipotle kids menu is a smaller-portion version of the regular menu, aimed at younger eaters. At most locations it includes a build-your-own meal and a kids quesadilla, with a side, and often a drink. Portions are smaller than adult entrees, and the price is lower. Exact items, ages and what is included vary by restaurant and can change, so check the Chipotle app for what your location offers.

What is on the kids menu?
The kids menu is built on two ideas: let children pick what they like, and keep portions sized for them. Typical options include:
- Build-your-own kids meal. Kids choose a protein and a few simple ingredients, such as rice, beans, cheese and a mild salsa, in a small portion. It is usually served in a small bowl or as a taco-style meal depending on the location.
- Kids quesadilla. A smaller grilled tortilla with cheese, with or without protein. See the adult quesadilla guide for how the pieces add up.
- A side and a drink. Often chips or fruit juice. Details vary by location, so check the listing.
The lineup changes and some choices are regional, so treat this as a general guide.
Kids menu prices
Kids meals cost less than adult entrees, and prices vary by location. The table above shows typical prices for the build-your-own and quesadilla options and for drinks. Drinks and sides can change the total, so check what is included when you order. If you want a custom estimate, the price calculator can help.
Calories and nutrition for kids
Children's nutritional needs vary a great deal by age, size and activity, so we do not give a recommended number. What we can show is the nutrition of the ingredients, so you can decide on portions.
A small portion of chicken is a good example: a full adult portion has 180 calories and 32 grams of protein, so a child-size serving will be less. The same goes for rice at 210 calories and beans at 130 for an adult serving.

Values are per standard serving and are estimates. Compare with Chipotle's nutrition calculator and the allergen chart before relying on them.
Kids portions are smaller than the amounts in the table, so use these as an upper bound. For personal guidance on what your child should eat, ask your pediatrician.
Child portions are not published as separate items in our data. The table lists standard adult-serving values for each ingredient.
Picking foods kids tend to like
Kids' tastes are specific, and most Chipotle ingredients are simple, which helps. A few approaches that tend to work:
- Keep it plain. Chicken, rice and cheese with no salsa is a common first order.
- Add a mild option. Tomato salsa or lettuce is mild. Spicier salsas can be too much for young children, and you can ask for the salsa heat level on the side.
- Use beans for protein and fiber. Many kids like them mashed in a quesadilla or tossed in rice.
- Let them build it. Kids often eat more of what they choose.

Tips for parents
- Order through the app if you can. You can pick the kids meal and customize quickly while the kids are still in the car.
- Share an adult entree. If a child eats a lot, splitting a bowl or burrito may be cheaper than two kids meals. Compare with the bowl and burrito pages.
- Ask for foods to be packed separately for toddlers, so there is less mess.
- Check the allergen chart before your first visit if your child has allergies. Use our allergen menu guide and the official allergen chart.
- Skip the chips if you want a lighter meal, or share one bag between everyone. See chips and sides.
- Bring wet wipes. Burritos and tacos are messy, even for adults.
Age limits and what counts as a kids meal
Chipotle sets its own rules for who can order from the kids menu, and these are not always posted the same way in every restaurant. If you are unsure whether an older child qualifies, ask the staff. Many restaurants do not check, but policies can vary.
Feeding picky eaters and toddlers
Picky eaters often do best when they can see and touch the food. A deconstructed plate works: a little rice, some beans, a few pieces of chicken, and cheese on the side, rather than everything mixed together. For toddlers, shredded or soft proteins are easier to chew, and many locations will happily put the toppings in separate containers on request.
If you have a child who eats very little, ordering one kids meal is cheaper than splitting an adult entree. If you have a child with a big appetite, an adult bowl is often a better value per bite. Compare prices at your location, since the numbers differ.
Making the meal more balanced
A good kid meal covers protein, carbohydrate and a bit of produce. Chicken or beans handle protein, rice or a tortilla covers carbs, and lettuce, tomato salsa or fajita vegetables add produce. You do not have to hit every category every time. One balanced meal is a good start, and the kids menu makes it easy to try new things in small portions.
