Chipotle

Eating out is rare for me because of a heavy reaction to gluten. I did my research in separate documents on their main website to confirm my "wholesome veggie bowl" had all gluten-free ingredients. Unfortunately, I became quite sick with a gluten reaction. I question if a source was present in the spices/coating of the chicken. They were incredibly busy in the kitchen, it is chalenging to say that this chain is avoiding cross-contamination.

We've eaten here multiple times and haven't had an issue (two members with Celiac). They change gloves, serving utensils, and wipe down the counter before preparing anything GF due to Celiac or allergy. And they are so patient!

The girl behind the line was aware of cross contamination and said they would change out all spoons and everyone change gloves. They got my lettuce from another location(not from the line). As with any place like this, there is a chance of cross contamination, but they made me feel safer than at most places.

these young people blow my mind with how on top of the gf thing they are. and the gf options are delicious and we'll priced. everything on the line is gf it seems. all but flour tortillas. only thing was I needed to suggest sandwiching my corn tortilla in tinfoil in the press. 👍👍👍👍👍

I like going to chipotle because they are generally educated on gluten free diets. All of the menu items are gluten free except the flour tortillas so you can get a burrito bowl, salad, corn tortilla tacos, and chips. There have been a couple of times tho when the staff didn't seem educated. You have to tell them at the beginning of the line GF/celiac so they change their gloves, get new lettuce and cheese, and change the spoons. A couple times they messed up but cleaned everything and made me a new bowl. Just watch them carefully and make a complaint online if it's unsafe and they can train better.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.
