While Chipotle is good at GF, it is not celiac friendly. This is because they use the same spoon for the rice/beans that touches the tortillas when doing burritos, which goes back into the beans/rice contaminating it (even if they change utensils). Unless they are willing to pull all fresh ingredients from the back (which for us they haven’t been), we can’t eat here. It does taste yummy!!

I can not say enough about how good this place is. The 2 managers we see here always make sure my son and I are taken care of. Great place to eat.
Yes
Be careful here. I took my son with celiac and explained he was gluten free and asked for soft corn tortillas. They gave him the small flour tortillas. We caught it quickly but they are not very educated. Nor did they seem to care much.
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."
Since my diagnosis with celiac's, it's been a pain to go out for a quick lunch with my husband, who is not GF. Chipotle is a great option for us; he can get his giant burrito and I just order the burrito bowl. I do miss the tortillas, but the bowls are tasty and I've never had a reaction after eating at any chipotle location.
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.
