We actually did not even stay to eat. When we walked in and asked about gluten free, the worker didn't even know what gluten was and had no idea about any precautions or anything else. Yikes! I will assume that nothing is safe to eat there since they do not even take the time to train their staff about food sensitivities and allergies.
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."
This location is phenomenal!! I informed them that I had Celiac so I wanted the other tortillas. They took every precaution available: put foil down when pressing the tortillas, changed everyone's gloves, and even offered to change all of the spoons! I was extremely impressed! Very knowledgable! I'll be heading back soon! :)
This is one of the safest GF places out there and the food is almost all organic sourced.
Just explain you have a gluten allergy and ask them to change their gloves. They always gladly do. Get a rice bowl because the only thing with gluten are the burritos themselves though I also steer clear of the lettuce since they use their hands for that. I also have a dairy allergy so I stay away from the sour cream and cheese. Sometimes when it is busy, a stray piece of cheese gets in the guacamole but I try to go when it's less busy anyway.
DONT GO HERE!!! These people are idiots. They don't have any idea what gluten free is. Only the manager knew what gluten free was. Pooly trained people .The guy that handled my bowl had an attitude. He was slamming my bowl on the counter along with the containers of cheese and lettuce. The one guy cooking rice said "contaminate her food" in Spanish. Everyone was rude. The food counters were dirty. DONT GO HERE!!
We went here for the first time, and we were expecting the same chipotle gluten free experience, but I was shocked when I told them that I have celiac, and they asked me which toppings I wanted, they changed the container of food, the spoon in it, and they all changed their gloves. They were great, and I recommend going to this location if you are near and want Chipotle.
