The Chipotle secret menu isn't printed anywhere, but because Chipotle builds each order to request, a whole world of off-menu creations is possible. From the legendary Quesarito to the crispy Burritodilla, the Chipotle secret menu is really a set of clever customizations regulars have named over the years. Below are 10 of the best-known Chipotle secret menu hacks, what each one is, roughly what it costs, and where you're likely to find it.

A quick reality check: these are unofficial. Chipotle's own team has said many of these items aren't in the training manual or the register system — but staff will generally make what they can. Some hacks are free (extra fajita veggies, extra salsas), while others are priced by their components (you're paying for the proteins, cheese and add-ons that go into them). We never invent prices — where a hack's cost depends on your build, we say so.

How to order off the Chipotle secret menu

Since these items aren't official, the trick is to describe what you want rather than just naming it. For a Quesarito, for example, you'd ask whether they can make a cheese quesadilla first and then use it as the wrap for your burrito. Simpler hacks like Extra Fillings or a Single Taco are usually no problem anywhere. During a busy rush, the more complex builds (Quesarito, Burritodilla) may be declined — that's normal, so ask politely and have a backup in mind.

Frequently asked questions

Unofficially, yes — the items are customizations staff can usually make, but they're not on the official menu or register.
