Chipotle

Eating out is rare for me because of a heavy reaction to gluten. I did my research in separate documents on their main website to confirm my "wholesome veggie bowl" had all gluten-free ingredients. Unfortunately, I became quite sick with a gluten reaction. I question if a source was present in the spices/coating of the chicken. They were incredibly busy in the kitchen, it is chalenging to say that this chain is avoiding cross-contamination.

We've eaten here multiple times and haven't had an issue (two members with Celiac). They change gloves, serving utensils, and wipe down the counter before preparing anything GF due to Celiac or allergy. And they are so patient!

The girl behind the line was aware of cross contamination and said they would change out all spoons and everyone change gloves. They got my lettuce from another location(not from the line). As with any place like this, there is a chance of cross contamination, but they made me feel safer than at most places.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

these young people blow my mind with how on top of the gf thing they are. and the gf options are delicious and we'll priced. everything on the line is gf it seems. all but flour tortillas. only thing was I needed to suggest sandwiching my corn tortilla in tinfoil in the press. 👍👍👍👍👍

I like going to chipotle because they are generally educated on gluten free diets. All of the menu items are gluten free except the flour tortillas so you can get a burrito bowl, salad, corn tortilla tacos, and chips. There have been a couple of times tho when the staff didn't seem educated. You have to tell them at the beginning of the line GF/celiac so they change their gloves, get new lettuce and cheese, and change the spoons. A couple times they messed up but cleaned everything and made me a new bowl. Just watch them carefully and make a complaint online if it's unsafe and they can train better.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.
