Chipotle New Ventures vice-president Nate Lawton said: “Launching Farmesa in the Kitchen United Mix food hall in Santa Monica and partnering with third-party partners for pickup or delivery will allow us to reach a large number of consumers, learn quickly, and evolve our concept and menu so that we can deliver on our goals before expanding.

“We believe there’s an opportunity to serve premium, craveable food every day and we’re eager to bring this new concept to life.”

Farmesa will have a soft opening later in February, followed by an official launch in March.

Initially, the restaurant will have a limited menu and shorter hours, so that the restaurant team will be able to learn various cooking techniques and maximise throughput.
