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."

I've gotten their bowls many times and have never gotten sick. They are willing to change gloves and spoons, their food is low risk for cross contact. I have celiac and would recommend Chipotle!

The person making my burrito bowl always changes their gloves before starting to prep my burrito bowl. I have Celiac Disease and I am able to order all meats and salsa - everything is gluten free except for the tortillas.

Great gluten free options! Staff were very friendly and cautious, washing their hands, changing gloves, and getting new serving spoons. They even asked if we had any questions and took the time to review all their ingredients! I was very, very impressed!!!

Great experience here. As a celiac I ask them to wash hands, change gloves and make my bowl from fresh ingredients in the back. Very nice and accommodating and I did not get sick.

Normally we depend on Chipotle when we travel because even if the servers aren't well trained you can watch them and explain everything as your food is prepared. That is what we had to do here. While we were eating I unfortunately witnessed an employee take a salsa cup, while not wearing gloves, and dip it into something on the line. He threw it into his mouth and then got another cup and did the same thing with another item.

Staff was very accommodating. On their own, they got new bins of cheese and lettuce for us, changed their gloves, and got new spoons for the rice when we asked them to.

Just opened. Staff are good about changing gloves and avoiding cross contamination. Flour tortillas are the only gluten-containing ingredient on the menu.

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.
