Chipotle's annual Halloween ritual is back: on October 31, 2026, anyone who shows up to a participating Chipotle in a costume can order a full entrée for $6 instead of the usual $10 to $14. The offer runs from 3:00 PM local time until close at participating U.S. locations. It is called Boorito, and it has been one of the most reliable Halloween food deals on the fast-food calendar for more than two decades.
You do not need a coupon code. What you do need is the free Chipotle Rewards account, because the $6 price only applies when you scan your Rewards member card at the register. Walk in wearing a costume, scan the QR code, and your burrito, bowl, tacos or salad rings up at $6.
This is not a delivery deal. Chipotle is explicit that Boorito is in-restaurant only, which means no app delivery orders and no DoorDash, Uber Eats or Grubhub pickup promo tied to the costume price. Popular stores draw lines every year, so timing matters.
Below we break down what counts as a costume, which add-ons are excluded, how the $6 compares to last year, and what to do if your local Chipotle opts out.

What Is the Deal, Exactly?
The Boorito deal is a flat $6 entrée for any guest who arrives in costume at a participating Chipotle on Halloween day, after 3:00 PM local time. The $6 price applies to any single entrée: a burrito, a burrito bowl, a plate of tacos, or a salad.
The offer is only valid for in-restaurant orders paid at the register. It cannot be stacked with digital coupons, catering orders, or delivery apps. The official terms on the Boorito page spell it out: 10/31, 3 PM to close, U.S. only, costume required, limit one per guest.
Chipotle's investor announcement dated October 20, 2026 confirms the same window and price. It also frames Boorito as a long-running brand tradition rather than a one-off promo, which is why the rules barely change year to year.
The single most common way people miss this deal is showing up after close or trying to redeem it on a delivery app. Boorito is a physical, in-restaurant, costume-only event.
What's Free (or Discounted)
Strictly speaking, Boorito is a discount, not a free item. Your entrée drops from roughly $10–$14 (a standard 2026 Chipotle burrito or bowl) down to $6. That is a saving of about $4–$8 per person, or roughly 40–55% off.
What is not included: the $6 entrée does not cover a side of guacamole, a side of queso blanco, or extra meat. Those upgrades ring up at normal a la carte price. Chips and a drink are also not part of the deal.
If you normally order a Chicken Burrito Bowl with guac, expect to pay $6 plus the guac upcharge. Bring a little extra cash — a typical Boorito receipt lands around $8–$10 once a side or drink is added.
For context: Chipotle's 2025 press release notes the same $6 entrée price last year, so the 2026 deal is flat versus 2025, not a deepened offer. The costume requirement and in-restaurant rule have also not changed.
For the best value, order a burrito bowl with double protein instead of adding guacamole. Double meat usually costs less than a guac upcharge at 2026 prices, and you walk away with a more filling entrée for roughly $8 to $9 total. Skip the chips and drink — they are the two items where the Boorito discount does nothing.
How to Claim It Step by Step
Set up your free Chipotle Rewards account in the Chipotle app before you leave home. You need the in-app QR code.
Pick a costume. The brand's FAQ simply says "in costume." A hat, face paint or a themed shirt usually passes, but a full costume is safest.
Arrive after 3:00 PM local time on October 31. Stores open earlier, but the $6 price only kicks in at 3 PM.
Order at the register in person. Mention Boorito, then scan your Rewards QR code when prompted.
Pay the $6 entrée price. Add guac, queso, extra meat, chips or a drink only if you want them, at normal price.
Eat in or take it to go. The deal requires ordering in the restaurant; once paid, you can eat anywhere.
Do not wait until the last hour. Popular locations in college towns and dense suburbs have historically seen lines out the door in the 5–7 PM window, and some stores run low on popular proteins as the night goes on.
If you are bringing a group, have one person order at the register while the rest wait outside. The $6 price is scanned to one Rewards account per guest, so each person in your party needs their own QR code pulled up before reaching the front of the line. This avoids the awkward moment of fumbling through app logins while a queue builds behind you.
A small tip: wear a costume that is easy to take off. Many guests use Boorito as a pre-party stop before heading to Halloween events, and a bulky costume in a crowded Chipotle is uncomfortable for both you and the people behind you in line.
Who Is Eligible?
Any guest with a free Chipotle Rewards account can use the offer. There is no paid membership tier — Rewards is free to join with an email address. Kids in costumes are welcome, but the $6 entrée is scanned to one Rewards account per guest.
The deal is limited to the United States. Chipotle locations in Canada and other markets do not run Boorito. It is also limited to participating restaurants; most U.S. Chipotles take part, but a small number (airports, some campuses) sometimes opt out.
You must be physically in the restaurant. This is the line that trips people up: ordering on the app for pickup, or using a delivery app, will never trigger the $6 price even if you are wearing a costume at home.
Important Fine Print to Know
Read the fine print before you drive across town. The official terms, linked from the Boorito page, are short and specific:
Offer valid October 31, 2026 only, from 3:00 PM local time to close.
U.S. only, participating restaurants.
Costume required. No costume, no $6 price.
Limit one entrée per guest. Each family member needs their own Rewards scan.
In-restaurant only. No delivery, no third-party apps, no digital orders.
Extras (guac, queso, extra meat, chips, drinks) are not discounted.
Local closing times vary. A Chipotle closing at 10 PM stops accepting Boorito orders at 10 PM; a mall location closing at 9 PM stops at 9 PM. There is no universal cutoff — go by your store's posted hours.
If you are traveling, remember that 3 PM means 3 PM in the store's own time zone. A 3 PM Boorito start in Seattle is 6 PM on the East Coast; do not expect a Florida store to honor a Pacific-time schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get the $6 Chipotle Boorito price?
Show up in costume at a participating U.S. Chipotle on October 31 after 3:00 PM local time, open your Chipotle Rewards QR code in the app, order at the register, and your entrée rings up at $6. You do not need a coupon. The full rules are on the official Boorito page.
Does Boorito work on delivery or the Chipotle app?
No. Chipotle's 2026 announcement is explicit that Boorito is in-restaurant only. Delivery orders, DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub orders, plus Chipotle app pickup orders, do not qualify even if you scan Rewards. See the official 2026 press release for the wording.
What counts as a costume for Boorito?
The brand's FAQ says "in costume" without setting a bar, so most crews accept anything from a full suit to a hat and face paint. A plain Chipotle shirt will not count. Media coverage of past Boorito nights, such as this Tasting Table recap, shows guests arriving as burritos, zombies and movie characters.
How does Boorito 2026 compare to last year?
The price and window are essentially flat: in 2025, Rewards members in costume also paid $6 for an entrée from 3 PM to close on October 31, per the 2025 Chipotle press release. In 2025 the brand also ran a costume contest for a VIP card; the 2026 announcement only advertises the $6 entrée.
Can I combine Boorito with other Rewards offers?
No. The $6 entrée is a one-item promotional price and cannot be stacked with digital coupons, points redemptions or BOGO offers. You still earn Rewards points on the purchase, but you cannot redeem a points reward during the same visit.

What if my local Chipotle is not participating?
Most U.S. locations take part, but licensed venues (airports, stadiums, some campuses) occasionally opt out. Check the store list on the Boorito page before you go.
If your store opts out, same-weekend alternatives include Del Taco's BOGO deal and Subway's BOGO footlong.
