Halal Verdict
So, what’s the halal verdict?
Chipotle is not halal in North America or the UK!
Obviously there are many non-meat items on the Chipotle menu which halal observers can consume, such as their
- Beverages – including Margaritas
- Veggie dishes such as: Vegetarian Bowl / Burrito and Meat Free Salad, Vegetarian Tacos & Salads
- Chips such as: Chips & Guacamole, Chips & Tomato Salsa, and Chips & Roasted Chilli-Corn Salsa, and

Halal Caveat
You should always verify the halal status with the restaurant directly just to be sure!
Restaurants change their meat suppliers and their policies constantly.
Furthermore, individual franchise locations change ownership all the time. So one location’s owner can use halal meat but can sell it to a new owner who chooses not to. So, to make sure that you have the latest information — reach out to the establishment!
