Cost of Chipotle Catering Services
The Chipotle catering costs highly depend on your chosen menu. Chipotle offers three categories for its catering services: Spreads, Burritos, as well as Chips & Salsa, and each category comes with different food options for a particular number of people. Let’s get to know all of them and their respective Chipotle catering prices.
