STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Chipotle Mexican Grill will open this week in the former home of DaddyO’s BBQ. The 185 Bricktown Way restaurant will make a total of three Chipotle outlets on Staten Island.

Chipotle Mexican Grill in Charleston will open its doors on Thursday, June 5. It will operate daily from 10:45 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Customers visiting the new location will have the opportunity to try the brand’s newest protein offering, Chipotle Honey Chicken, which will be available for a limited time. Chipotle describes the taste experience as “tender, juicy, and grilled to perfection” courtesy of smoky chipotle peppers and a hint of honey sweetness.

For now, two other Chipotle locations can be found in the borough — Chipotle Hylan Blvd. at 2602 Hylan Blvd., New Dorp, and Chipotle Staten Island Mall, located by Shake Shack at 2655 Richmond Ave., New Springville.

Also in local discussions, Chipotle had abandoned plans for a new drive-thru location on Staten Island’s North Shore.

Last May, Chipotle representatives confirmed plans to open a new drive-thru concept at 1630 Forest Ave. in Port Richmond, at the former site of a Santander bank. However, by July 2024, the deal had fallen through, leaving the North Shore location vacant but suitable for a drive-thru restaurant.

The company, known for its build-your-own burritos, tacos, salads and bowls prepared in front of customers, also attracts fans with its commitment to responsibly sourced ingredients. Its customizable menu options are designed to accommodate various dietary preferences.
