I ask them to change gloves and they do. I avoid the cheese and lettuce, but if you want it they will get clean lettuce and cheese for you from the back! I love chipotle!

Word to the wise. Avoid the cheese. Staff handle flour tortillas then stick their hands into the cheese. Other toppings are spooned out and appear safe.
Notes
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."

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.
