Warning DO NOT EAT HERE if you are Celiac. The staff seemed completely ignorant of celiacs. Sure they changed their gloves, but they touched the single spoons from every ingredient to the flour tortillas and then put them back. So everything here is cross contaminated and totally unsafe.

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."

No issues. You have to let them know GF and watch them prepare food. Make sure they glove change. Unfortunately that means you can't online order

The change the spoons but how does that help? If the food already has cross contamination clean spoons won’t fix it. I enjoyed the food but paid the price of cross contamination.

I always order a bowl with whatever toppings minus lettuce and cheese, since they grab that with their hands after handling flour tortillas. Never had any issues following these rules. Pro-tip: If you order a vegetarian bowl, you won't get charged extra for guac.

this chipotle sucks in general so i wouldn’t trust it even if they follow all the procedures for someone that’s gluten free.

We requested corn tortillas for our tacos and when they started to make the tacos I told her multiple times the tortillas looked like flour tortillas but she swore they were corn but once we tried them it was obvious they were flour. They wouldn’t remake them either just handed us corn tortillas to transfer the already contaminated filling over to the new tortilla shells.
