Chipotle

In terms of food, this Chipotle is the same as the rest. In terms of experience, this particular location went above and beyond. I was at this location only a few hours before Taylor Swift’s concert began, and the place was overrun with Swifties getting a bite before the show. Despite the large crowd, food running out, and lack of breaks for staff, everyone working was doing great. Staff were efficient and understanding of guests and provided the expected Chipotle experience under unexpected conditions. To all the staff working here during the weekend of Taylor Swift’s concerts in Seattle, thank you!

Chipotle can be gluten free if you know how to work the system. here's the trick I use: order online and specify in the instructions that you're allergic to gluten and to have them change their gloves. this will ensure your meal is prepared properly even if there's a long line. then only get meat, rice and beans (I don't get beans because it's cheaper that way). they handle a lot of the veggies with glutened gloves and this way only one person needs to change their gloves because the meat and rice are right next to each other, away from the veggies.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

i love these places. MOST of the time the staff will comply with my request for them to put on clean gloves without complaint.. i love the burrito bowl,too,but have found that i must pass on them adding anything that they use their hands to place. Cheese and Lettuce,primarily. i have written asking for tongs so those items arent contaminated,but have yet to receive a response

burrito bowl is very good!

Always safe with the burrito bowls here. Cross contamination is possible but I’ve never experienced problems. Website lists allergen items.

Really accommodating of my coeliac disease, server washed their hands and changed their gloves before preparing the bowl, and I kept the same server. Appeared knowledgeable about needing to maintain GF.

They have an allergy statement in the front of line telling you to alert them of an allergy. I mentioned I had a gluten allergy and could they do a glove change. They were very nice about it but clearly weren’t very knowledgeable about what to do so just be clear with them. I asked for them to get fresh lettuce, cheese and guac from the back. I also know to avoid the corn salsa and the chips. They stuffed my bowl and it was delicious. I’ll definitely go back.

We eat here fairly frequently. We always ask the employees to wash their hands and change gloves. Most ingredients are GF, except the tortillas, so the kids get corn shell tacos and my husband and I get bowls. Avoid the cheese and lettuce if you are celiac or very sensitive - cheese and lettuce are the two ingredients where employees use their hands instead of a utensils. On occasion we’ve had to ask an employee to wash their hands twice, when they forgot and touched someone else order while in the midst of fulfilling ours.

My experiences at this Chipotle Mexican Grill have all been good. The customer service is decent, and the food is safe and tasty!

You really don't have to worry about gluten because virtually everything is gluten-free, excluding the flour tortillas. The food is what you'd expect: it isn't super high-quality meat, but it is seasoned and tasty (especially when you're in the mood for it)!

And as a plus, this Chipotle has a drive-thru, which is nice if you're someone who doesn't like to get out of their car to order. Although, I prefer going inside.
