Totally judged and laughed at by a young staff when I asked for the gluten free protocol. I was so embarrassed. Shame on them. I walked out

I am a celiac and always ask them to change their gloves. I find the staff to be super helpful, but the managers sometimes yell at the employees for walking me down the whole line to make my food, which is why they get 4 stars. Otherwise, I find I can eat here easily. I do have a reaction to the salad dressing, which is supposed to be gluten free, so I advise you consider avoiding the dressing if you're super sensitive.

The only gluten element is the tortillas. I've never gotten glutened here from cross contamination. They will change gloves if you ask.

Yes
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."

They dip the spoons into the tins after touching the gluten wraps. Everything on the line is cross contaminated.

First time eating at Chipotle since going GF about 6 years ago. Food and service was great. If you are sensitive to dairy be aware they add quite alot of sour cream so I would ask for them to put only a little on. Overall, I would eat there again!

I can’t say for sure that any Chipotle location is celiac safe, but I feel very confident ordering at this location. The gentleman who made my bowl washed his hands and arms, changed gloves, changed utensils, and brought unopened ingredients from the back. I was impressed by the many steps they took to keep my food as safe as possible.
