Review of Chipotle

Great service, but I may have had a slight reaction, possibly from cross contamination.

I mentioned to the lady behind the counter that I had a gluten allergy (no, celiac is not an allergy technically, but it's easier than explaining celiac in a busy restaurant and people seem to take allergies more seriously). I had barely even finished saying the word allergy and she immediately washed her hands and changed gloves before I could even ask! She was the only one who handled my food the whole way down the line, instead of passing it down like they normally would. When her coworker asked her to grab something, she said I had an allergy so she couldn't touch anything else until she finished my order.

Had a burrito bowl with chicken, white rice, tomatoes, and guacamole. I could imagine there were probably plenty of opportunities for cross contamination to happen considering they don't have separate kitchen space, ingredients, or utensils, but the only thing on the menu that contains gluten is the flour tortillas, so I figured I would give it a go. They do mention on the website that any of their items containing corn (tortillas, chips, corn salsa, etc) may have come in contact with wheat during growing and harvesting, so I avoided those. I still may have had a slight reaction after eating here...perhaps since it looks like they used the same spoons and toppings for regular orders. I don't seem to be particularly sensitive, but if you are, probably best to avoid this place. Reserving judgment for now, but I was nevertheless impressed with how seriously the server took my allergy request.
