Chipotle is bringing back a favorite menu item and customers are loving it.
The Mexican fast food restaurant is relaunching its Smoked Brisket in select restaurants in the U.S. and Canada.
“We’re listening to our customers and bringing this fan-favorite menu innovation out of the vault after three years,” Chris Brandt, chief brand officer, said Tuesday.
‘This premium protein is sure to delight guests looking to taste the difference of Chipotle-style prepared brisket.’
The brisket will not become a fixed menu item, it will only return for a limited time.

However, no date has been set for when the item will again be out of stock.
Fans, who have long called on social media for the return of brisket to Chipotle, reacted enthusiastically to the news.
“I’ve been saying they should bring back the Brisket for a long time,” one customer wrote on Reddit.
‘I hope it lasts more than a month!’ the user added.
‘ATTENTION!!!!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL, CHIPOTLE HAS A NEW MEAT. SMOKED CHEST,’ exclaimed another on X.
“Chipotle has already smoked the beef brisket. I know what I’m going to order for dinner,” added another user.
For Chipotle customers trying Smoked Brisket for the first time, Nevielle Panthaky, the chain’s vice president of culinary, recommends a Smoked Brisket Burrito Bowl with white rice, black beans, fresh tomato salsa and cheese.
