Open All Day, Special From 4 PM
Veterans Day is a standard operating day on the Chipotle calendar, full hours, full menu, all channels. What makes it unusual is the evening: in years the promotion runs, the 4 to 8 PM window turns into one of the busiest and most goodwill-heavy shifts of the year as service members claim the BOGO.
The Veterans Day BOGO, Briefly
The recent shape of the deal: buy one entree in-restaurant between 4 and 8 PM on November 11, show a valid military ID, get a second entree of equal or lesser value free, up to five free entrees per check, excluding app, delivery, and catering orders. It ran in 2025 but skipped 2024, so treat it as year-by-year. The complete rules, eligibility, and redemption tips live on our dedicated Veterans Day deal guide.
Planning the Visit
- No military ID: any time of day works, hours are normal; the 4 to 8 PM window just runs long lines in deal years.
- Redeeming the BOGO: arrive at 4 PM sharp or after 7 PM, bring the physical ID, and order at the counter, digital orders do not qualify.
- Still stack points: scanning your Rewards code earns points on the paid entree even during the promo.
