This is an update to my previous post. They appear to have different managers now, and do not charge extra for basic changes such as in my previous post. They were better than they had previously been for careful handling for cross-contamination because of food allergies. We enjoyed our recent meal there, and will return. I expect they will now be more like the Chipotle locations we frequent. First post: We eat at Chipotle frequently, but not this location . They provide a reasonably safe gluten free and dairy free meal, even meatless, if desired. This location has treated us poorer than others, charging extra for substitutions (beans in place of rice) for one of our group....

We used to be able to eat here. The last few times I have had to repeatedly ask them to start over on mine because they are touching to spoons to the flour tortillas and then shoving them back in the prep table contaminating the entire thing.

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."

Really impressed with this location. They changed gloves, washed hands, switched out utensils, covered the flat press (for soft corn tortillas) and stayed with us down the line for the entire order. Well done! 👍🏼
This location is great for those with gluten allergies or celiac! If you tell them gf for one of these reasons they will change gloves and follow your order through the line. They will even get fresh (untouched) toppings from back.
Yes
Tasty. Easy to make a meal gluten-free, though celiac folks need to know there are flour tortillas on the line. They are very careful. Why not five stars? Salt! I ate there twice in one week - as excited medically-GF folks are likely to do when finding a friendly and yum option - and learned the hard way that Chipotle must be a special occasion, plan-ahead place for me. Darn.
Excellent food, great portion/value, and easy to order without worrying about wheat.
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!

We asked to eat Gluten Free. The person in charge along with line workers changed gloves, wiped surfaces, got out new serving utensils, got all fresh food needed for our orders and made our bowls. We appreciated their thoroughness and concern.

Yay for the Westview Chipotle in Frederick! I told the woman behind the counter that I have Celiac's and she immediately changed her gloves and personally handled my order thru the entire serving line.
I should have waited a few hours before giving my review. Even though the woman who served me did her best, there was still cross contamination. A couple hours later I had bloating and was running for a bathroom. Sorry but Chipotle is not Celiac Friendly.

Let me start off by saying, WOW. Never have I ever felt co fident in ordering from a non dedicated place before but they employees were EXTREMELY knowledgeable. I asked what they are gf procedures are and right away the nice employe wiped off the counter and without me having to ask he got all the ingredients fresh from the back with clean gloves and a new bowl. He was super nice and friendly, I will 100% be back here again. Seriously this is the place to go if your in the area.

I have eaten at several places of this establishment and they have always changed their gloves and utensils if you ask them to get your stuff from a fresh bin they will never had a problem at any of them but make sure you let them know.
