Chipotle Restaurant Hours Today & Holiday Hours (2026)

What are Chipotle restaurant hours?

Most Chipotle restaurants open at 10:45 a.m. and close at 10 or 11 p.m., seven days a week. Those were the hours at the stores we checked in Texas, Georgia and Ohio in late October 2026, and they line up with the 10:45 a.m. to 10 p.m. hours USA TODAY reported for Chipotle on New Year's Day 2025.

The full lunch and dinner menu is served from opening to close. Chipotle does not serve breakfast at its U.S. restaurants, so there is no morning menu and no menu changeover during the day.

Hours still vary by location. Whether your store closes at 10 or 11 p.m. is the main difference you will run into, and it matters if you are planning a late dinner, so check your store before a late run.

Is Chipotle open today?

Most Chipotle restaurants are open today from 10:45 a.m. to 10 or 11 p.m. unless today is Thanksgiving, Christmas Day or Easter Sunday. The quickest way to confirm is the Chipotle app or the restaurant locator on chipotle.com, which shows each store's hours for the current day.

A few tips for finding the right hours:

• Search the store, not the brand. Map apps list hours for each location, but the Chipotle app is the most direct source.
• Use the app for late orders. If the app will not offer you a pickup time, your store is likely closed or close to closing.
• Check before holidays. Chipotle says many of its restaurants close on Thanksgiving and Christmas, and some stores close early on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.

Is Chipotle still open right now?

If it is before 10 p.m. on a normal day, your nearest Chipotle is very likely open. Between 10 and 11 p.m. it depends on the store, and after 11 p.m. the stores we checked were all closed.

The Chipotle app is the fastest check, because it shows your store's hours for today and the pickup times still available. If you need food later than that, Chipotle is not the chain for it. The Taco Bell stores we checked stay open until 3 a.m. most nights; see our Taco Bell vs Chipotle comparison for more on hours and value.

Wondering whether Chipotle is open tomorrow? Unless tomorrow is Thanksgiving, Christmas Day or Easter Sunday, expect the usual 10:45 a.m. opening. The holiday table below covers the next year of dates.

What are Chipotle holiday hours for 2026 and 2027?

The pattern is consistent: Chipotle closes on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and Easter Sunday, may close early on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, and keeps normal hours on New Year's Day and most federal holidays.
