Chipotle catering has become one of the most popular fast-casual catering options in the United States — driven by consistent quality, transparent per-person pricing and the fact that nearly every guest can customize their meal at the buffet line. Chipotle now caters more than 21 million catering meals per year across office lunches, weddings, school events, sports teams and birthday parties. The catering menu is a curated subset of the regular Chipotle menu, with all the same proteins (Chicken, Steak, Barbacoa, Carnitas, Sofritas, Veggie) and toppings, packaged in trays designed for self-serve at scale.

The Complete Chipotle Catering Menu (2026)
Chipotle catering is split into three families: Burritos by the Box (pre-wrapped, easiest), Popular Builds (curated themed packages), and Build Your Own Spreads (full customization). All are available for 10–200 guests (Burritos by the Box starts at 6). Each card links to the package’s detailed breakdown lower on the page.
Burritos by the Box
Build Your Own Single Spread
Plant Powered
Build Your Own Double Spread
Small Get-Together
Build Your Own Triple Spread
Chips & Dips Spread
Burritos by the Box (Taking It Easy) — $8.75/Person
Burritos by the Box (officially branded “Taking It Easy” inside the Chipotle catering app) is the cheapest and simplest catering option. Each box contains individually-wrapped, pre-rolled burritos that guests can grab and go — no setup, no serving line, no plates needed. It’s the catering equivalent of a sandwich platter, and it’s why it dominates corporate-meeting and on-the-go catering for groups of 6 to 50.
Burritos by the Box
Includes: Choice of pre-rolled burritos (Chicken, Steak, Barbacoa, Carnitas, Sofritas or Veggie), each individually wrapped with cilantro-lime white rice, black or pinto beans, salsa, cheese, sour cream and your selected protein. Plus: For every 2 burritos, you get a side of Chips, Tomatillo Green-Chili Salsa and Sour Cream.
How to choose your burritos: You can either pick the exact mix (e.g., 6 Chicken, 4 Steak, 2 Sofritas) or let Chipotle send an assortment based on your group size. For groups with mixed dietary needs, picking your own is recommended.
Best for: Office lunches, classroom events, sports team meals, board meetings, small parties (6–30 people). Skip it if: Your group has lots of customization requests, picky eaters, or wants a hot interactive buffet experience — for that, choose a Build Your Own Spread.
Popular Builds: Plant Powered, Work Anywhere & Small Get-Together
Chipotle’s “Popular Builds” are three curated catering packages that combine pre-selected proteins, toppings and salsas into a themed spread. They cost slightly more per person than the Build Your Own equivalents but save you the decision fatigue of choosing every component. All three serve a minimum of 10 and up to 200 people.
Plant Powered Vegan
Includes: 2x Guacamole, Sofritas Plant-Based Protein, Salad Lettuce, Cilantro-Lime Brown Rice, Fajita Veggies, Shredded Cheese (omit if fully vegan), Taco Lettuce, Fresh Tomato Salsa, Roasted-Chili Corn Salsa, Soft Flour Tortillas.
Why it works for vegan/vegetarian groups: The 2x guacamole portion is roughly 16 oz — twice the standard catering guac amount — making this the only Chipotle catering package where guac isn’t a paid extra. Sofritas (organic tofu braised in chipotle-pepper adobo) provides the protein, and brown rice keeps it whole-grain. Request “no cheese” and “no sour cream” for a 100% vegan setup.
Work Anywhere
Includes: Chicken, Steak, Cilantro-Lime White Rice, Guacamole, Salad Lettuce, Fajita Veggies, Shredded Cheese, Taco Lettuce, Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa, Fresh Tomato Salsa, Soft Flour Tortillas.
Why it’s the office favorite: Chicken + Steak is the protein combo that pleases the most palates. Guacamole is included (unlike the Build Your Own Double, where guac is an add-on), and the spread is designed to assemble quickly with minimal setup. Works well for hybrid teams ordering from a central location for an in-office lunch.
Small Get-Together Most Variety
Includes: 2x Chicken, Steak, 2x White Rice, Guacamole, Queso Blanco, 2x Black Beans, Salad Lettuce, Fajita Veggies, Shredded Cheese, Sour Cream, Taco Lettuce, Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa, 2x Fresh Tomato Salsa, Tomatillo-Red Chili Salsa, 2x Soft Flour Tortillas.
Why it’s the highest-variety package: 2x Chicken means you can almost guarantee no one runs out, plus you get both Guacamole AND Queso Blanco — the only Popular Build that includes both premium dips. Two different salsas (the chili-corn for sweet/smoky guests and tomatillo-red for heat-seekers) plus the standard fresh tomato. Designed for parties, birthdays, family events.
Build Your Own Spreads — Single, Double & Triple
The Build Your Own Spreads give you complete control: pick your proteins, your bases, your toppings, your salsas, your tortillas. They’re priced identically to the Popular Builds at each tier but let you swap any component. Best for groups with specific preferences (e.g., a wedding where you need Barbacoa + Carnitas instead of Chicken + Steak, or a corporate event with multiple dietary requests).
Build Your Own Single Spread
Includes: 1 protein (Chicken, Steak, Barbacoa, Carnitas, Sofritas or Veggie), 2 bases (choose 2 of: white rice, brown rice, black beans, pinto beans), 2 toppings (choose 2 of: cheese, sour cream, fajita veggies, lettuce), 2 salsas (choose 2 of the 4 official salsas), 1 tortilla type (soft flour OR crispy corn). Serving utensils and plates included.
Best per-person value. At $8.75/person this is identical pricing to Burritos by the Box but with hot buffet-style service. Great for budget-conscious office lunches or large groups where you don’t need maximum variety.
Build Your Own Double Spread
Includes: 2 proteins of your choice, all 4 bases (white rice, brown rice, black beans, pinto beans), all 4 toppings (cheese, sour cream, fajita veggies, lettuce), all 4 salsas, both tortilla types (soft flour + crispy corn), chips, and a side of guacamole or queso blanco.
This is the catering “sweet spot” for groups of 20–60 — enough variety to please everyone, includes chips and one premium dip, and the per-person cost stays under $15 with delivery and tip.
Build Your Own Triple Spread
Includes: 3 proteins of your choice, all 4 bases, all 4 toppings, all 4 salsas, both tortilla types (soft flour + crispy corn), chips, guacamole, queso blanco, and salad vinaigrette for salad-style assembly.
The most comprehensive Chipotle catering option. Includes both premium dips, all four salsas, and three proteins — the closest you’ll get to the full Chipotle steam-table experience. Ideal for weddings, large birthdays, multi-day events.
Chips & Dips Spread — $40 Add-On
The Chips & Dips Spread is a standalone catering add-on you can pair with any package. It includes house-made tortilla chips, all four salsas (fresh tomato, tomatillo-green, tomatillo-red, roasted chili-corn), and your choice of either a large guacamole OR a large queso blanco. Serves 10–15 people as a side or appetizer.
Chips & Dips Spread
Includes: Large basket of hand-cut tortilla chips with lime and kosher salt, all 4 chipotle salsas (Fresh Tomato, Tomatillo-Green Chili, Tomatillo-Red Chili, Roasted Chili-Corn), and either Large Guacamole (8 oz) OR Large Queso Blanco (8 oz) — pick one at order. Want both? Order two Chips & Dips Spreads.

Chipotle Catering Money-Saving Tips
Earn 10 points per $1 on catering orders
Chipotle Rewards members earn 10 points per $1 spent on catering placed through chipotle.com/catering or the app. A $400 catering order = 4,000 points = enough for 2 free entrées under the post-April-2026 Rewards Exchange. Make sure you’re logged into your Rewards account before checkout. Note: rewards CAN be earned on catering, but redemption rewards (free chips, birthday rewards) cannot be applied TO catering orders.
Order Single Spread + Chips & Dips instead of Double
For 20 people: Build Your Own Single Spread ($175) + Chips & Dips Spread ($40) = $215 total. Compare to Double Spread for 20 at $240. You save $25 by ordering the cheaper protein tier and adding chips separately, with the only loss being the second protein. Works best for groups with similar palates (e.g., all chicken or all veggie).
Pick up instead of delivery — save $10–$30
Chipotle’s catering delivery fee ranges from $10 for nearby drops to $30 for longer distances. For local events where someone can drive to the store, pickup is free and the trays are pre-packed for transport. On a 20-person order, skipping delivery saves roughly 5–10% of total cost.
Watch for the free-delivery promo windows
Chipotle runs limited-time free catering delivery promotions, typically around holidays (most recently Nov 29 – Dec 2, 2025 with promo code DELIVER). Sign up for Chipotle’s email list and check the app’s “Offers” tab in November and early December for free-delivery windows.
Order Plant Powered for mixed-diet groups
Even for non-vegan groups, the Plant Powered package’s 2x guacamole is a strong value play — you’d pay $30–$50 extra to add the same amount of guac to any other package. If your group is open to Sofritas (or you can pair it with a Build Your Own Single Spread containing chicken), the Plant Powered’s included extras essentially pay for the upgrade.
Best Chipotle Catering Package by Event Type
| Event Type | Recommended Package | Per Person | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Office lunch (10–30) | Work Anywhere | $12.00 | Chicken + Steak pleases most palates; guac included. |

Dietary Options on Chipotle Catering
Vegan & Vegetarian
Plant Powered ($12.00/person) is purpose-built for plant-based groups. Within any Build Your Own Spread, you can also swap any protein for Sofritas (organic tofu) or Veggie at no extra cost. Skip cheese and sour cream for a fully vegan setup.
Gluten-Free
All proteins, rice, beans, fajita veggies, all 4 salsas, cheese, sour cream and guacamole are gluten-free. Crispy corn taco shells are gluten-free. Soft flour tortillas contain wheat. For gluten-free catering, request soft corn or crispy corn tortillas only and inform Chipotle of the allergy at the time of order. Note: corn products may contain trace gluten from cross-contact with wheat-containing grains in the field.
Dairy-Free
Everything except shredded cheese, sour cream and queso blanco is dairy-free. Order a spread, then ask guests to skip the cheese and sour cream stations.
Keto / Low-Carb
Any Build Your Own Spread can be configured keto-friendly: pick a protein, skip rice and beans, load up on fajita veggies, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, guacamole and salsa. No tortillas. A 4-oz steak + 4 oz guac + cheese + veggies is approximately 8g carbs and 35g protein.
High-Protein
The Build Your Own Triple Spread gives you 3 proteins — the highest-protein catering option. Double-protein servings + black beans push individual portions to 50g+ of protein per guest. Pair with a Chipotle High Protein Menu reference for macro tracking.

What is included in Chipotle catering?
Chipotle catering packages include your choice of protein(s), bases (rice and beans), toppings (cheese, sour cream, fajita veggies, lettuce), salsas, and tortillas — packaged in trays for self-serve, with serving utensils, napkins and biodegradable plates included at no extra cost. Burritos by the Box comes with pre-wrapped individual burritos plus chips, tomatillo-green salsa and sour cream for every 2 burritos. Chips, guacamole and queso are included only in Triple Spreads and Small Get-Together; for other packages they’re paid add-ons.
What is the minimum order for Chipotle catering?
The minimum order is 6 people for Burritos by the Box and 10 people for all Build Your Own Spreads (Single, Double, Triple) and the named Popular Build packages (Plant Powered, Work Anywhere, Small Get-Together). Maximum order size is 200 people for most packages. Some locations may set slightly different minimums — check the catering page at chipotle.com/catering and enter your zip code for your local minimum.
How far in advance do you need to order Chipotle catering?
Chipotle requires at least 24 hours advance notice for all catering orders. For groups larger than 50, peak meal times, or during busy seasons (holidays, graduation, Halloween, back-to-school), Chipotle recommends ordering 3–5 days in advance. Same-day catering orders are not accepted. You can place orders up to 14 days in advance through the Chipotle app, chipotle.com/catering, or by calling the store directly.
Is there a Chipotle catering menu PDF?
Chipotle does not publish an official downloadable catering menu PDF — pricing and packages are managed dynamically through chipotle.com/catering and the Chipotle app. However, the catering page does display a printable menu view: open chipotle.com/catering in a desktop browser, click “Print” (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P), and select “Save as PDF.” For event planners who need a quick reference, we maintain a downloadable PDF summary of all 2026 packages, per-person prices and minimums on this page — see the download button above.
Does Chipotle deliver catering orders?
Yes — Chipotle offers both pickup and delivery for catering orders. Delivery typically costs $10–$30 depending on distance, with delivery available between 10:30 AM and 8:00 PM in most markets. Free delivery promotions occasionally run (most recently November 29 – December 2, 2025 with code DELIVER). Delivery is handled by Chipotle’s catering team rather than third-party platforms like DoorDash for orders over a certain size. Pickup is always free.
What’s the difference between Single, Double and Triple Spread?
The Single Spread ($8.75/person) includes 1 protein, 2 bases (rice and beans), 2 toppings, 2 salsas and 1 tortilla type — the most economical option. Double Spread ($12.00/person) doubles the protein to 2 of your choice, includes all bases and toppings, and adds chips and a side of guac or queso. Triple Spread ($13.50/person) is the most comprehensive: 3 proteins, all bases, all toppings, chips, guacamole, queso blanco, all 4 salsas and both crispy corn and soft flour tortillas. Triple is the best per-person value for variety but most expensive total.
Can I order Chipotle catering for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. The Plant Powered package ($12.00/person) is specifically designed for vegetarian and vegan groups — built around Sofritas plant-based protein with 2x guacamole, brown rice, fajita veggies, salad lettuce, both salsas and soft flour tortillas. Vegan guests should request soft corn tortillas instead of flour and skip the cheese and sour cream stations. Within any Build Your Own Spread you can substitute Sofritas for any protein at no extra cost.
Are drinks included in Chipotle catering?
Drinks are NOT included in Chipotle catering packages by default. You can add bottled water, Mexican Coca-Cola, lemonades and aguas frescas to any catering order at additional cost. For groups, Chipotle also offers gallon-size lemonade and aguas frescas at most locations. Coffee and alcohol are not available through Chipotle catering. Plan to budget approximately $2.50–$3.20 per person for beverages on top of the catering price.
How much guacamole do you get with Chipotle catering?
Plant Powered comes with 2x guacamole (about 16 oz total) for 10 people — generous portions. Small Get-Together and Triple Spread include 1x guacamole (8 oz). Single Spread, Double Spread, Burritos by the Box and Work Anywhere do NOT include guacamole by default — it’s a paid add-on at roughly $35–$50 per large catering portion (serves 10–15 people). Order at least one extra side of guac per 10 people if your group loves it.
Can I earn Chipotle Rewards points on catering orders?
Yes, Chipotle Rewards members earn 10 points per $1 spent on qualifying catering orders placed through chipotle.com/catering or the Chipotle app. A $400 catering order for 30 people earns 4,000 points — enough to redeem for two free entrées under the post-April-2026 Rewards Exchange. Note that birthday rewards and free chips/side rewards are NOT valid on catering orders, Burritos by the Box, or alcohol per Chipotle’s reward terms.
How much Chipotle catering do I need to order per person?
Chipotle catering portions are designed at roughly 4 oz of protein, 4 oz of rice, 4 oz of beans, plus toppings per person — enough for one full burrito or one large bowl per guest. For groups with bigger appetites (athletes, late-evening events) order at the next tier up: e.g., 12 servings for a group of 10. For groups with mixed eaters (kids, light eaters) order at face value. Burritos by the Box plans 1 burrito per person — order an extra 10% for heavy events.
Can I customize the proteins and toppings in Chipotle catering?
Yes — all Build Your Own Spreads (Single, Double, Triple) let you swap any protein from the standard menu: Chicken, Steak, Barbacoa, Carnitas, Sofritas, Veggie. Chicken al Pastor, Chipotle Honey Chicken or limited-time proteins may be available depending on the season. Toppings (rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, fajita veggies, lettuce, all 4 salsas) and tortilla types (soft flour, crispy corn, soft corn for kids) are also fully customizable. Burritos by the Box has a fixed mix-and-match selection of pre-rolled burritos.
Is Chipotle catering gluten-free?
Most Chipotle catering items are naturally gluten-free: all proteins (chicken, steak, barbacoa, carnitas, sofritas), rice, beans, fajita veggies, all 4 salsas, cheese, sour cream and guacamole. Crispy corn taco shells are gluten-free. Soft flour tortillas are NOT gluten-free (they contain wheat). For gluten-free catering, order a Build Your Own Spread, request soft corn or crispy corn tortillas, and inform Chipotle of any allergies — they’ll prep separately. Note: corn products may contain trace gluten from cross-contact in the field.
Does Chipotle do wedding catering?
Yes — Chipotle catering serves up to 200 people per order, making it suitable for many small-to-medium weddings and rehearsal dinners. The Triple Spread (3 proteins, full toppings bar, chips, guac and queso) at $13.50 per person is the most popular wedding choice. For a 100-person wedding the food cost is approximately $1,350 plus delivery, beverages and tip — substantially less than traditional wedding catering (typically $50–$150 per person). Order at least 5–7 days in advance for weddings, and ask your local store about chafing dishes to keep food warm.
Can I tip Chipotle catering and how much?
Yes. Chipotle offers tipping at checkout when ordering catering through chipotle.com or the app, and you can also tip in cash at pickup or delivery. Industry standard for catering is 15–20% of the food total (similar to restaurant tipping). For delivery, tip the delivery driver separately if they’re a third-party courier. Many catering planners tip $20–$50 in cash directly to the in-store team that prepares the order, especially for large or special-occasion catering.
What is the cheapest Chipotle catering option?
The cheapest Chipotle catering options are Burritos by the Box and the Build Your Own Single Spread, both at $8.75 per person. For a 10-person group, that’s $87.50 total — under $9 per person all-in before delivery. The Chips & Dips Spread at $40 (serves 10–15) is the cheapest catering add-on. Burritos by the Box has a lower 6-person minimum, making it the most accessible option for small groups.
What’s the maximum group size for Chipotle catering?
Chipotle catering serves up to 200 people in a single order. For events with more than 200 guests, place multiple orders or call the store catering coordinator at least 5–7 days in advance to arrange a multi-batch prep schedule. Some larger Chipotle locations or flagship stores can accommodate 300+ with prior arrangement; smaller stores cap at 150–200.
Does Chipotle catering include warmers or chafing dishes?
No — Chipotle catering does not include warmers, chafing dishes or Sterno fuel by default. Food is packed hot in insulated trays designed to stay warm for 30–60 minutes. If your event runs longer or you need food kept warm for buffet service, ask the catering coordinator if your local store has rental chafing dishes (some flagship locations offer them at $15–$25 per set), or rent from a local event-supply company. Plan to serve within 60 minutes of pickup/delivery.
Where can I find the Chipotle catering menu in print or as a PDF download?
Chipotle does not publish an official printable catering menu PDF — they manage everything through chipotle.com/catering. To get a printable menu, you can: (1) Use the “Print” function in your browser on the catering page and save as PDF; (2) Download our compiled 2026 PDF summary from the button at the top of this page; (3) Request a printed catering menu from your local store catering coordinator (some stores have printed handouts).

The Bottom Line on Chipotle’s Catering Menu
Chipotle catering is among the most consistent, transparent and scalable fast-casual catering options in the United States — and the per-person pricing barely moves between markets. For most groups, the Work Anywhere ($12.00/person) or Build Your Own Double ($12.00/person) packages strike the right balance of variety and budget. For weddings and large parties, step up to the Triple Spread ($13.50/person) for all the proteins, all the salsas and both guac and queso. For office or sports-team meals where setup time is short, Burritos by the Box ($8.75/person) is the easiest grab-and-go option.
Two final reminders that catch most first-time catering customers: order at least 24 hours in advance (3–5 days for groups over 50), and check your Chipotle Rewards account is linked at checkout — you’ll earn 10 points per $1 on the catering bill, which can add up to a free entrée on a single large order.
