Americans are feeling the pinch of higher prices, and reliable fast food is harder to come by.
With chains equally struggling, some have taken to passing that cost onto the consumer, but there is a way around this at Chipotle.
A savvy content creator took to social media to spread the word, and all it takes is a simple alteration when ordering drive thru on your phone.
If you want your Chipotle bowl fully loaded, when the order asks for your name, instead write “LOAD this thing up”.
That’s all the HealthyJunkFood account did on Facebook when she ordered a Chicken Bowl in a video uploaded on March 18.
You can either go in to the spot and pick it up or go through the drive thru window.
The order will still have your actual name linked with the account you ordered it from, but the portion was much bigger.
The video creator was shocked to find “a ton of meat” in her bowl and she can see it really was “fully loaded”.
It is not known why this works, but the creator urges people to try it now before Chipotle catches on.
There was some scepticism in the comments, along with those who have tired it and have additional tips to get it just right.
One person said: “I went through the drive-thru one time and they screwed it up royally.. going in and making sure that they don’t get it wrong and they actually put enough of each topping in the bowl is much better.”
And a second person suggested that the bowl shown in the video wasn’t actually fully loaded, bringing this whole hack crashing down.
They wrote: “I like Chipotle, but to be honest, it looks like regular bowl to me.”
NEW LOCATIONS
The US Sun recently reported that Chipotle is planning to open 345 new restaurants by the end of the year nationwide.
This is according to CEO Scott Boatwright said during its first-quarter earnings call on Wednesday.
But it is important to note that while 345 is the end goal for 2026, Chipotle has noted a range between 315 and 345 overall.
At least 80% of these are set to include a Chiptolane, drive-thrus where customers can pick up mobile or online orders they placed ahead of time.
Boatwright also confirmed that Chipotle will add about 15 to 20 new restaurants in Canada and another five in the Middle East.

He said on the earnings call: “While our first quarter results were impacted by several headwinds, including weather and a slowdown in consumer spending, our teams continue to make significant progress improving the execution in our restaurants, innovating our back of house, and building Chipotle into a global iconic brand.
But Boatwright has expressed confidence in customer foot traffic as a reliable source of interest for Chipotle.
Chipotle has made effort to keep the cost of its most popular items, the chicken-based burritos and burrito bowls, under $10 on average.
“I am confident that we have a strong plan to return to positive transaction comps by the second half of the year, and during these uncertain times, we will continue to invest in the things that make Chipotle a special brand — our people, culinary, value proposition, innovation and growth.”
