Chipotle

Had the Carne Asada bowl with layer brown rice, black beans, steak, fresh salsa, lettuce, guacamole. Food was tasty and had no immediate reaction. Told server I was gluten sensitive. I’m also sensitive to Canola oil. He was not very knowledgeable so I avoided any add ons that could cause reaction including stir fried veggies. Had a huge reaction that night. After investigation it seems they use rice bran oil for grilling which is as inflammatory as Canola oil as it is highly processed with a lot of Omega-6. Avoid if you have oil sensitivities.

Lovee the burrito bowl - they changed their gloves and used spoons with touching the ingredients so felt safer and no reaction! So good.

I came during a busy lunch hour on a Monday. Despite the line behind me, the employee stopped to change her gloves and wash her hands before moving forward. Because of the risk of cross contamination, I only ever order rice bowls and toppings that have a spoon for serving (vs lettuce or cheese where they grab with gloved hands that may have also touched flour tortillas). Great location and felt very safe here.

I ate here last week and it was very good. At first the server didn't know what I wanted when I asked for a gluten free menu/list, but once he figured out what I needed, he took extra care to wash his hands and get new gloves. And he watched my food as it went down the line to make sure none of the other guys cross-contaminated my food. He deserves 5 stars all on his own.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We have eaten here 4 times since our 3 weeks visiting Rancho Mirage. Great food. Never have a reaction from GF & DF issues. Always delicious and consistently high quality food.

Always safe with the burrito bowls here. Cross contamination is possible but I’ve never experienced problems. Website lists allergen items.

Really accommodating of my coeliac disease, server washed their hands and changed their gloves before preparing the bowl, and I kept the same server. Appeared knowledgeable about needing to maintain GF.

They have an allergy statement in the front of line telling you to alert them of an allergy. I mentioned I had a gluten allergy and could they do a glove change. They were very nice about it but clearly weren’t very knowledgeable about what to do so just be clear with them. I asked for them to get fresh lettuce, cheese and guac from the back. I also know to avoid the corn salsa and the chips. They stuffed my bowl and it was delicious. I’ll definitely go back.

We eat here fairly frequently. We always ask the employees to wash their hands and change gloves. Most ingredients are GF, except the tortillas, so the kids get corn shell tacos and my husband and I get bowls. Avoid the cheese and lettuce if you are celiac or very sensitive - cheese and lettuce are the two ingredients where employees use their hands instead of a utensils. On occasion we’ve had to ask an employee to wash their hands twice, when they forgot and touched someone else order while in the midst of fulfilling ours.

My experiences at this Chipotle Mexican Grill have all been good. The customer service is decent, and the food is safe and tasty!

You really don't have to worry about gluten because virtually everything is gluten-free, excluding the flour tortillas. The food is what you'd expect: it isn't super high-quality meat, but it is seasoned and tasty (especially when you're in the mood for it)!

And as a plus, this Chipotle has a drive-thru, which is nice if you're someone who doesn't like to get out of their car to order. Although, I prefer going inside.
