Chipotle is my go to when traveling, but the experience varies depending on how well the staff are trained at each location. I’ve always had great luck here and at the downtown Indy location when it comes to knowledgeable staff.
As for chipotle in general, I always ask them to change gloves and spoons (if they don’t automatically offer, which most will). Yes there is still a chance of cross contamination even when they switch utensils but I’ve never gotten sick. And they are always willing to open a fresh container of cheese if you ask, since the gloves touch the cheese directly

Not safe for celiacs as contaminated utensils touch the gluten-free food.

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."

The employees are so great at changing their gloves when you mention gluten allergy. Unfortunately the past few times I've eaten there I've gotten sick. I always order the rice bowl with carnitas, guac, lettuce, & rice.

Easy option. I always choose the rice bowl. Ask them to use new gloves so they don't contaminate.

Great experience! They easily answered my questions, changed gloves and brought out fresh cheese and lettuce as soon as I mentioned having a gluten allergy. Will definitely be back.

They announced that I needed to have a gluten free bowl made, wiped down the entire counter and changed gloves. Also got lettuce and cheese out of a separate container from the fridge. Really appreciated them doing all of that without me even asking! Best chipotle.
