(Newport Beach, CA) -- Chipotle is opening its first-ever spinoff restaurant in Santa Monica, California.

"Farmesa Fresh Eatery" will offer healthier fast-food options, like salmon bowls and sweet potato chips, through online-only orders.

The award-winning chef who helped create Chipotle's menu is also behind this new menu.

The restaurant will soft launch later this month before holding a grand opening in March.
