A Fresh Start at a Former Location
You may remember the spot as the former home to a San Jose restaurant, which has been demolished to make way for this new and vibrant culinary hotspot. Cason Development Group has been busy reimagining the area, planning not just for Chipotle but also a Starbucks and a few other businesses to join the party. It’s all part of making Forest Drive an even more bustling spot in town!

This new Chipotle location is open daily from 10:45 a.m. to 10 p.m., making it super convenient for lunch breaks, dinner dates, or late-night cravings. And guess what? If you’re on the go, the location features a “Chipotlane” drive-thru lane! Yes, you heard that right! You can place your digital order ahead of time and then pick it up without even leaving your car—talk about convenience!
Special Menu Items Just for You
Now, let’s talk food! Chipotle has always been a fan favorite for its mouthwatering burritos, tacos, flavorful salads, and customizable bowls. This new location will also feature quesadillas, kids meals, and a variety of sodas to satisfy everyone’s taste buds. And for those who love trying something new, the exceptionally popular smoked brisket is being offered for a limited time. So be sure to check it out before it’s gone!
A Busy Spot for Good Eats
If you’re wondering why Chipotle chose this location, let’s just say it’s in a prime spot! With about 29,000 cars passing by every day, thanks to the handy nearby Interstate 77 and the U.S. Army’s Fort Jackson training installation, foot traffic in the area is bound to bustling. It’s the perfect place for locals to pop in and grab a meal or two!
