Chipotle unveils a new chimichurri sauce. How to try it for free.
Chipotle offers free Red Chimichurri sauce to Rewards members on launch day to attract Gen Z, with 92% saying they visit restaurants for sauces, company data shows.
- Chipotle Mexican Grill is launching Red Chimichurri on Tuesday, September 30 across the U.S. and Canada as a limited-time item, with Chipotle Rewards members able to try it free with at least one entrée purchase.
- Chipotle says the move responds to guest passion around its dips and sauces and follows the return of Carne Asada earlier this month, the brand's most-searched limited-time item.
- Made with roasted garlic, fresh cilantro, chili peppers and citrus juice, Red Chimichurri is a $1 side, and Chipotle says it's 'Red Chimichurri unlocks an all-new flavor profile that is unlike any menu item we introduced before,' said Chris Brandt.
- Only guests who sign up for Chipotle Rewards by 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on Monday, September 29, will receive the offer, which is valid only on 9/30/25 during regular hours, in-restaurant or via the app or website, as Chipotle aims to rebound from two quarters of slumping sales.
- Ninety two percent of Gen Z consumers say they would visit a restaurant just for a sauce, and Chipotle's over 3,800 restaurants and over 130,000 employees give the rollout broad scale.
