We used to have a favorite crew, but they have mostly all moved on. That said, Chipotle is a great place to eat with a gluten allergy as they can take precautions to prepare your food as safely as possible - as long as you ask them as soon as you get to the counter. They will put on new gloves - and they will even swap out utensils if you need them to do so. And the only food items you cannot really have is flour tortillas from here. *Please note, however, as with anywhere in public, some employees are more knowledgeable than others, and there is STILL a risk of cross-contamination. I am highly allergic, but have rarely if ever had an issue at this location...and I can watch them carefully through the glass to educate if necessary.
**New app will allow you to order easily - but there is no way to indicate a gluten allergy. I've ordered and then called immediately to make sure that they add a note to the ticket - they know us, and they have taken great care of us.

One of the limited places we can eat due to my husband having to always eat gluten free. He has never had a problem with cross contamination here and the food is great. I also love the food which is a plus!
Yes
Awesome service! Changed gloves, used different tongs, everything is gluten free except for the floor tortillas.
Chipotle does not have a gluten free menu but instead has a list of gluten-containing ingredients to avoid. Cross-contamination is a concern, however, so let the person taking your order know that you are gluten free and if you need them to take the proper precautions.
From their website: "If you avoid gluten, don't eat our flour tortillas. If you are highly sensitive to gluten and would like us to change our gloves, just let us know at the start of your order. You should be aware items containing corn, including corn tortillas (chips, soft corn, and crispy corn tortillas) and corn salsa, may have a small amount of gluten from potentially co-mingling with gluten-containing grains in the field."
Pretty good for fast food, but not sure I trust them to not cross contaminate.
Go there weekly.. I have never been sick from eating here. I get a bowl with chicken and all the fixings!! I can usually save half the bowl for later bc it's so much food!!
not a single person working when I are there today understood GF food prep. never heard of it they said. had to convince the prep person to change gloves.
One of the best places to eat GF and actually feel full! I recommend a steak bowl with avocados.
Best GF fast food experience so far. They didn’t make me feel weird or like I took too much time. I told them I have a gluten allergy and the line stopped. They changed spoons for what I ordered, wiped down the counter, got out fresh cheese and lettuce, changed gloves, and one person took charge of my order seeing it through to the end of the line. I know there’s still a risk, but I’m thankful for all they did to help me eat with my family.

I was a little concerned when I read it had been two years since the last review, but I went and as soon as I told the server I had celiac, she immediately offered to wipe down the surfaces and change gloves. She did it so cheerfully also!

Lots of gluten free options, good choice for catering, and ability to sort through gluten free options by using their dietary filter online. There are good options available if you're dairy free/vegan as well!

While there’s obviously a chance of cross contamination, the workers here are very nice and accommodating. Everything except for the tortillas is gluten free. I always ask them to change their gloves and this past time a worker felt her glove touch the tortillas after changing them so she immediately changed them again! They never have a problem getting lettuce or cheese from the back which I appreciate! I have not had a reaction here yet and I am very sensitive!

I told the server I was gluten sensitive, and she immediately changed gloves and handled all my food herself.
