While Chipotle is good at GF, it is not celiac friendly. This is because they use the same spoon for the rice/beans that touches the tortillas when doing burritos, which goes back into the beans/rice contaminating it (even if they change utensils). Unless they are willing to pull all fresh ingredients from the back (which for us they haven’t been), we can’t eat here. It does taste yummy!!

I can not say enough about how good this place is. The 2 managers we see here always make sure my son and I are taken care of. Great place to eat.
Yes
Be careful here. I took my son with celiac and explained he was gluten free and asked for soft corn tortillas. They gave him the small flour tortillas. We caught it quickly but they are not very educated. Nor did they seem to care much.
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."
Since my diagnosis with celiac's, it's been a pain to go out for a quick lunch with my husband, who is not GF. Chipotle is a great option for us; he can get his giant burrito and I just order the burrito bowl. I do miss the tortillas, but the bowls are tasty and I've never had a reaction after eating at any chipotle location.
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.
