I was really happy that they knew what gluten was and that when I told them I had a gluten Allergy they changed their gloves. Their food was delicious and I didn't get sick!
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."

Solid. Don’t get a flour tortilla (duh!). Sofritas and everything else are gf.
This was an excellent experience. I called ahead and asked if they had gluten free options, and they said everything was gluten free except for optional flour tortillas, which are kept separate from everything. She also said that they'd change their gloves and do a wipe-down if we mention the allergy.
We got there maybe 20 minutes later, and Hayley remembered us from the phone. We mentioned it was our first time, and she ended up giving us free chips and queso. It may have been because it was late and could've been the last batch, but free queso is free queso!
Everything is separated, and there is a dedicated cooking spot for the tofu 'meat' to keep it meat free. Overall I'm really impressed.
One of my go-to places for a quick, somewhat healthy and inexpensive meal. I always get the bowls. Do note that the sofritas filling has gluten, and of course the flour tortillas - but that's it! I love that the chips are totally safe, no cross contamination, and their guac is delicious. You can ask them to change your gloves when you get to the bar and they don't care to do it!
Serves fresh veggies, meat, beans, rice etc. You can get these served as crunchy corn tacos or in a bowl. The only thing on their menu that isn't GF is the flour tortilla. I'm a celiac and have never gotten sick here. I always get a bowl.

What I appreciated as soon as I told staff I had celiacs is that they immediately put on fresh gloves. I don't feel 100% confident that there wasn't cross contamination. The work area was clean and tidy though.
I love to eat here, almost everything is gluten free except the burritos and tacos
This chipotle will take the proper precautions when prompted. They will wash their hands, change utensils, and get potentially cross-contaminated toppings from the back. Some of the staff is not knowledgeable but all have been willing to learn.
New Chipotle location opened recently. The usual Chipotle GF options: burrito bowls, salads, tacos, chips and guac. Food prep minimizes cross contamination contact. I've had a good experience both times I've been there so far.
I ordered chips and guacamole and asked if they could scoop my guacamole from a fresh container to prevent cross contamination. Initially the young man agreed but then an older gentleman who was his boss raised his voice and refused. I did not want to risk getting sick so did not eat here. The older man raising his voice was rude and embarrassing.
