No way is this safe for Celiacs. They are supposed to sort of "fling" the ingredients on the shell so that there's no cross contaminating, I have seen them touch the shell and then back into the ingredient tub. asks have seen tortilla shells dragged along the prep area dip there way into the ingredient bins. I've even seen gloved hands touch a shell then straight into a bin, or switch from shell to bowl then put the Bowl back. I've been very sick 3 out of 4 times, never never never again. Flat out crazy for a celiac to go here. with all the other food illnesses Chipotle has caused in recent years, I would hope people realize they can't trust all the things they tout.

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."

Love it! I've had several different variations of the burrito bowl and no trouble at all. Don't eat the chips though. Unless you call ahead and ask for a fresh GF batch fried in clean oil.

This particular Chipotle has been very helpful. We have been going here ever since my husband was diagnosed with celiac. They wash their hands, change their gloves, and switch out the utensils. They are always super helpful!

Love this place! Everything is awesome here! Fresh and healthy for fast food. The one on Nees & Blackstone is closest to me, I'm always in there. Love their chicken bowl w/brown rice, fajita veggies, black beans & all 4 salsas, sour cream, cheese & sometimes guacamole. Yummy!

😭🥰 I just had the best experience here! I felt a little anxious as it was the peak of lunch time, but the line was incredible! They took out the utensils, cleaned the bar, and were gracious. The food it delicious! I made sure to tell the manager how great her staff was. I’ll be back.

Stopped here for lunch while traveling through the area. I asked the first person to change their gloves. They didn’t understand, but another employee helped explain. I had to ask the next employee down the line let the first person continue to add the toppings. There was much confusion about this. I guess it was ok in the end because I didn’t get sick. But I wouldn’t recommend this location. The rice tasted different and they were completely out of ice. Warm soda topped off a pretty frustrating experience.

Of the local locations it’s the best. But still not great. They’ll take the precautions as needed. But, and fully understanding why, at lunch rush you’ll have to wait and they’ll be obviously upset. And the drive thru/ online order is always cross contaminated.

Ordered online which might have been a mistake. They have the option to select and allergy and I was careful with my ordering and making notes, but still got sick.

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!
