One of Chipotle’s Most-Sought After Menu Items Is Coming Back

There are certain mainstays of the Chipotle menu that we can always count on. But there are other favorites that are only here for a while, and we miss them until they return. One of the most beloved? Carne Asada, and it’s making its return to Chipotle menus on Thursday, September 4 – but once again, only for a limited time.
This has been a popular, on-again-off-again protein choice since it was originally launched in 2019, and has made four limited-time reappearances since.
Carne Asada has truly been missed. In fact, it was Chipotle’s most-searched menu item on Google. It’s easy to see why this is such a popular choice, as the protein is known to be boldly flavored; a steak that is seasoned with a signature spice blend including cumin, coriander, garlic and oregano, grilled, and then finished with fresh-squeezed lime and hand-chopped cilantro.
“Our Carne Asada is an elevated, chef-driven recipe that attracts new guests, reignites our Chipotle Rewards members and excites our restaurant teams,” said Chris Brandt, President and Chief Brand Officer in a statement. “The protein’s rich flavor profile is the perfect pairing for any gameday whether you’re watching marquee matchups from home or tailgating at the stadium.”

While my personal go-to Carne Asada order has always been a burrito bowl with a drizzle of queso and all the fixings, this is really as fun a choose-your -own-adventure as you can get.
Just in time for the return of Carne Asada, Chipotle is also offering some sweet deals, including a “Wear Your College Football Jersey” BOGO deal on entrées for guests who order in the restaurant and are wearing a college football jersey on Monday, September 15 after 5 p.m. local time. Additionally, Chipotle is offering a $0 delivery fee offer on all Carne Asada orders placed through the Chipotle app, Chipotle.com and Chipotle.ca from Monday, September 8 through Tuesday, September 30.
