Chipotle Mexican Grill opened a new Plano location Feb. 20 at 6917 Independence Parkway, Plano. The fast-casual restaurant offers a variety of burritos, tacos, bowls and salads. This is the fifth Chipotle location in Plano, but is the first in the city to feature a Chipotlane—a drive-thru pickup lane that allows customers to pick up digital orders without leaving their cars, a Chipotle spokesperson shared via email. The new location operates from the building formerly occupied by Boston Market. 972-805-4609. www.chipotle.com
