La Porte celebrates new Chipotle

Local officials recently gathered for a ribbon cutting to mark the opening of a much-anticipated restaurant in La Porte.

Chipotle Mexican Grill, at 150 Pine Lake Ave., specializes in made-to-order bowls, burritos and tacos. Mayor Tom Dermody said La Porte residents have been awaiting the restaurant’s opening since the day the project was announced.

“The No. 1 question our office has received for the last several months has been, ‘when will Chipotle open?’” Dermody said in a press release. “It’s wonderful to see our community so excited about a new food offering. We’re thrilled to welcome Chipotle to La Porte and are certain it will be a success.”

Dermody said the new restaurant will provide about 30 jobs.
