South Bronx’s first Chipotle finally slated to open

South Bronx residents can get all the sides of guac they want when Chipotle finally opens in the neighborhood next week.

Back in October, a company spokeswoman confirmed to DNAinfo that the fast-casual Mexican chain would open by the end of 2016.
