The story behind Chipotle Kids’ Menu
Chipotle added a dedicated Kids’ Menu in 2013 alongside a company-wide push into healthier kids’ options at the peak of fast-food kids’-meal criticism. The lineup has stayed largely the same since, Build Your Own and Cheese Quesadilla. The Kids’ Quesadilla is notable as the only in-store quesadilla; the adult Hand-Crafted Quesadilla launched in 2021 as app-only. Kids’ meals include free guacamole and organic milk, Chipotle’s positioning against ultra-processed alternatives at other chains.
