Colorado Chipotle restaurants offering free food, but you have to watch for an AI commercial during the big game

Feb 6, 2026, 9:49 AM

Chipotle is a Colorado company, so I love supporting them, especially when they’re offering free food. That is the case, but you have to be watching for their commercial during the big game to get it.

With the expected surge of AI-generated ads this Super Sunday, Chipotle is embracing the trend to highlight its long-standing focus on real food. After halftime and before the start of the third quarter, when an AI-generated ad airs, the fast-casual brand will drop a special offer via an Instagram Reel for a free entrée. The Reel will include a text-to-claim code, and the first 100-thousand people who text it to 888222 will score a free meal, redeemable for any regular-priced entrée through February 12th for U.S. customers ages 13 and up.

Chipotle is also rolling out oversized Game Day Nacho Hacks for groups during the weekend and bringing back Chicken Al Pastor, a fan-favorite offering that rewards members can access early on February 9th ahead of its full return on the 10th.

Plus they are saving millions by using someone else’s commercial for their promotion!
