I am not super allergic, so I don't usually ask for special care to be taken with my food. and usually when I order something that shouldn't have any wheat in it I'm fine. Unfortunately, after I ate a bowl + chips + guac yesterday, I woke up with pain. I'm not sure if it was cross contact or contamination, or if one of the ingredients isn't safe, but I'm not going back.

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."
I wouldn't consider this Chipotle GF. I was glutened pretty bad a couple weeks ago. I ordered using the Chipotle app and added special instructions that the meal needed to be GF. If I were to dare return, I would go inside and make sure the server picked ingredients that were not already dipped into and of course change their gloves. I'm not willing to chance it though.
No
They did a phenomenal job for me. he changed his gloves, got lettuce and cheese from the back that had not been touched yet and used a paper towel to hold the spoons, he handled my food all the way down the line and I had no problems. I was really impressed.

As far as being Gluten Free, I have to rate the loc across from Sunrise Mall an "F-" at best. Their food is okay - according to my hubby, but I was unable to eat there due to cross contamination issues. Clearly, they have no clue, and assume that it is okay to handle wheat flour tortillas, and then plunge their glutened gloves into the lettuce and cheese bins. They smear rice and beans on the gluten tortillas and plop the spoons back into the rice and bean containers, without a 2nd thought. They do have foods that are GF, but celiacs, and gluten sensitives - BEWARE! The manager laughed and said "yeah, I guess we should be more careful." Sad, that they aren't safe.
My favorite chipotle! If I order on the app, I label my meal as “name + gluten allergy”. The staff always changes their gloves before handling my bowl. I’ve never gotten sick!

We asked to eat Gluten Free. The person in charge along with line workers changed gloves, wiped surfaces, got out new serving utensils, got all fresh food needed for our orders and made our bowls. We appreciated their thoroughness and concern.

Yay for the Westview Chipotle in Frederick! I told the woman behind the counter that I have Celiac's and she immediately changed her gloves and personally handled my order thru the entire serving line.
I should have waited a few hours before giving my review. Even though the woman who served me did her best, there was still cross contamination. A couple hours later I had bloating and was running for a bathroom. Sorry but Chipotle is not Celiac Friendly.

Let me start off by saying, WOW. Never have I ever felt co fident in ordering from a non dedicated place before but they employees were EXTREMELY knowledgeable. I asked what they are gf procedures are and right away the nice employe wiped off the counter and without me having to ask he got all the ingredients fresh from the back with clean gloves and a new bowl. He was super nice and friendly, I will 100% be back here again. Seriously this is the place to go if your in the area.

I have eaten at several places of this establishment and they have always changed their gloves and utensils if you ask them to get your stuff from a fresh bin they will never had a problem at any of them but make sure you let them know.
