Friday the 13th comes with a lunch-planning opportunity: Chipotle is bringing back its tattoo BOGO on November 13, 2026. The important detail is the short redemption window, so this is an offer to plan around rather than save for a later dinner order.
The headline offer: Buy a qualifying entrée and receive another of equal or lesser value free, subject to the promotion’s terms. You must visit a participating restaurant wearing a qualifying tattoo.
When is Chipotle’s tattoo BOGO?
The promotion runs from 3 to 4 p.m. local time on Friday, November 13, 2026. Participating locations are in the United States and Canada.
Use the time at the restaurant you intend to visit. If you are traveling, check that location’s local clock rather than relying on the time shown on a phone still set to your home time zone.
Do temporary or drawn-on tattoos count?
Yes. The announcement includes permanent tattoos, temporary tattoos and drawn-on designs. Restaurant staff have discretion over what qualifies, including other creative interpretations.
If you are unsure about your design, ask before placing your order. Confirming eligibility first is more useful than discovering a misunderstanding after your food has been prepared.
How to redeem the offer
Choose a participating Chipotle and plan your visit during the stated hour.
Show your qualifying tattoo and ask the team about the BOGO before ordering.
Select your purchased entrée and the qualifying free item.
Check that the discount appears correctly before completing payment.
This is an in-restaurant offer. Mobile, online, delivery and catering orders are excluded. Ordering through the app for pickup is therefore not a substitute for redeeming at the restaurant.
Purchase requirements and limits
Each free item requires a purchased entrée of equal or greater value.
There is a maximum of five free items per check.
The free item must be collected by a tattoo-wearing customer.
Kids’ meals do not qualify as the required purchased entrée.
Other coupons, promotions and special offers cannot otherwise be combined.
Purchased entrées remain eligible for Chipotle Rewards points.
The five-item limit does not mean one purchased meal unlocks five free meals. Plan each qualifying purchase-and-free-item pairing separately, and confirm your group’s order with staff.
How much could you save?
The discount depends on the menu items you choose. As a hypothetical example, if two qualifying entrées each cost $12, receiving one free would reduce their combined base price from $24 to $12.
If the purchased entrée costs $14 and the qualifying free entrée costs $11, the base-price saving would instead be $11. That is approximately 44% of the two-item total, rather than an automatic 50% reduction on everything you buy.
These figures illustrate the calculation; they are not quoted Chipotle menu prices. Check taxes, extras and the final total at your restaurant before paying.
What to check before making a special trip
A one-hour restaurant promotion leaves little room for a missed turn, a long queue or confusion at checkout. Look up your location beforehand and allow time to arrive. Do not assume that joining a queue before the end of the hour guarantees redemption afterward; ask the restaurant how it handles the cutoff.
For groups, agree on the order before reaching the counter. It is also sensible to have a backup plan if the location is not participating or the items you want are unavailable.
Does everyone get the limited-edition Wiz Khalifa bag?
No. Chipotle’s announcement also describes a separate, location-specific bag release in Pittsburgh. Do not interpret that announcement as a promise that every restaurant will distribute the special bags.
The meal promotion, special packaging release and associated sweepstakes have different conditions. This guide focuses on redeeming the tattoo BOGO.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a free meal without a purchase?
No. Budget for the qualifying purchased entrée and any additional items you order.
Should I order ahead to avoid the queue?
No. The published redemption exclusions include mobile and online orders. Speak to the restaurant team before paying.
Is a permanent tattoo necessary?
No. Temporary and drawn-on options are included, with acceptance determined by restaurant staff.
Can I use the offer at dinner?
Only if your visit falls within the stated promotional hour. Do not assume the offer continues through closing.
