Chipotle is spicing things up with the launch of Red Chimichurri, a new sauce that will be available in restaurants beginning Tuesday, September 30th.
The food chain announced the menu addition on Monday, highlighting it as a fresh take on a classic favorite. The sauce is prepared daily in each location to ensure freshness. Made with roasted garlic, fresh cilantro, chili peppers, and citrus juice, the oil-based Red Chimichurri is designed to add a zesty kick to any Chipotle entrée.
Its bright red color and bold flavor profile aim to complement the chain’s existing salsas and dips while offering something new for customers who enjoy spicy, craveable sauces.
Testers have praised the sauce for its lively flavor, describing it as zippy and spicy. Some compared it to a Mexican chili crisp or salsa macha, noting that it blends well with Chipotle’s menu and delivers a satisfying punch of flavor.
The Red Chimichurri follows the success of the Adobo Ranch, which was introduced earlier this summer, continuing Chipotle’s trend of experimenting with bold, crave-worthy sauces.
Rewards members can enjoy a special launch-day bonus. On September 30th, customers can receive a complimentary side of Red Chimichurri with the purchase of any entrée. This offer allows loyal customers to try the sauce without paying extra and discover how it enhances their favorite menu items.
With its vibrant taste and limited availability, the Red Chimichurri is poised to become a fan favorite. Customers are encouraged to try it while it lasts and add a new level of flavor to their Chipotle experience.
