Gluten-Free at Chipotle

Best GF fast food experience so far. They didn’t make me feel weird or like I took too much time. I told them I have a gluten allergy and the line stopped. They changed spoons for what I ordered, wiped down the counter, got out fresh cheese and lettuce, changed gloves, and one person took charge of my order seeing it through to the end of the line. I know there’s still a risk, but I’m thankful for all they did to help me eat with my family.

I was a little concerned when I read it had been two years since the last review, but I went and as soon as I told the server I had celiac, she immediately offered to wipe down the surfaces and change gloves. She did it so cheerfully also!

Lots of gluten free options, good choice for catering, and ability to sort through gluten free options by using their dietary filter online. There are good options available if you're dairy free/vegan as well!

While there’s obviously a chance of cross contamination, the workers here are very nice and accommodating. Everything except for the tortillas is gluten free. I always ask them to change their gloves and this past time a worker felt her glove touch the tortillas after changing them so she immediately changed them again! They never have a problem getting lettuce or cheese from the back which I appreciate! I have not had a reaction here yet and I am very sensitive!

I love chipotle sooooo much I’ve only ever eaten chipotle from this location, so I can only speak for this one, but they are so nice and friendly. I always ask them to change their gloves and make them aware that I have Celiac and they’re always super nice about it. Everything they serve is gluten free BESIDES the tortillas. So I always get a burrito bowl with chips (their gf as well). Always a 10/10 and I’ve never once gotten glutened here

Chipotle is a great quick option for GF food. Tortillas are not GF but everything else is. Ask staff to change their gloves and let them know You have a gluten allergy. Chips are corn and GF because they don’t fry anything else. I always get a bowl with rice, meats and veggies and I’ve never had an issue.

Stopped at Chipotle for a salad and some chips. Informed staffing up front that I was a celiac. Employee was great as he washed his hands, changed his gloves and pulled my lettuce from the fresh stuff in back to avoid cross contamination so I thought everything was going to be safe. About 4 hours later, I realized I got glutened. Although the employee took every precaution in preparing my food, the preparation of the food was not carefully done and cross contamination was present. I loved Chipotle but I will not eat here again. Bummer.

I had an amazing experience at this new Chipotle, safety-wise. I said I had an allergy and the employees instantly stopped making all other orders and wiped down the entire countertop, and the one making my order changed gloves. They also got out new spoons / bins of ingredients. Even the person who checked me out at the register washed his hands before touching just the outside of my bowl. This was all unprompted!

I plan to keep returning if this is the sort of service I continue to get. I’ve had (and heard about) iffy experiences at some other locations but this one clearly takes allergies seriously.

4/14/24: just wanted to update that I have had several more amazing in-person experiences here too. The employees have also been SO POLITE and friendly, whereas those at other Chipotles or restaurants have seemed not the most patient about allergy requests. My partner has also mobile ordered food with my order under the name “GLUTEN ALLERGY” several times and I haven’t gotten sick (sensitive to CC). Awesome work by this location!

When we told the employee we had celiac disease she was so so nice. She washed hands, changed gloves and went and got fresh bins of food and utensils from the back without even having to ask her. It was relatively busy so I was surprised she took the time to do that. She was the only one to touch our bowls to ensure there was no contamination. I will always go out of my way to go to this chipotle, even though there are closer locations.

No corn tortillas at this location. I’ve gotten GF at Chipotles before but never tried at this location. My son is 11 and not interested in a salad so quesadilla would have been his chosen option but it was a no-go

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.

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.

I eat chipotle regularly. For full transparency, I don't give any special instructions, but only choose gluten free ingredients. Somehow, I rarely ever get sick eating Chipotle. If very very low levels of cross contamination don't tend to set you off, Chipotle is one of the safer gambles IMO.

Great choice here for often difficult Food court meals. Was informed that all the ingredients were GF apart from the wraps ??? chose a steak Burrito bowl with all the salads and brown rice and medium sauce. Didn’t risk the dressings apart from sour cream - very tasty and so far not glutened - Servers happy to change gloves.

Chipotle is usually great but this is the worst Chipotle I’ve ever been to. Poorly run and understaffed. Served me rock hard beans and Barbacoa that was as tough as jerky. Took them over an hour for an online order. Inedible.

If you ask the workers to change their gloves and notify them you have a gluten allergy they will make the necessary accommodations. Isn’t always perfect as it highly depends on the worker, but have had many good experiences here. Always practice safety at a chain!

As long as you get a bowl and not a burrito you should be fine. The staff was NOT knowledgeable about gluten free. I asked her to at least change her gloves, which she did, and then she grabbed a new bowl so that was nice.

This worked out in a pinch. The staff did accommodate after some persistence. The server was able to get fresh sealed toppings to make my rice bowl. Kept it really simple with beans, rice, lettuce. Clean spoons. It was also a really busy weekend and at the lunch rush. Not ideal , yet worked out. Felt ok.

The best experience for gluten free. They understand my allergy as everything is gluten free except the wraps. They even change all the spoons and change all of the cold ingredients. Before they serve my food they wash their hands and change their gloves with just me saying I’m gluten free. I go so often they know my gluten free needs before I even walk in the door.

Writing this in hopes to help newbies navigate their disease. Changing gloves doesn’t help you here. Multiple times the utensils will touch the floor wraps and go back into the items. High risk for cross contamination. Just because someone says they did not get sick doesn’t mean it is not harming them in other ways. Not safe for Celiacs.

My celiac partner came here before an event and we had a fine experience. We did not get glutened, the employee changed their gloves to my request, but it was quite possibly the worst chipotle we've ever had. The chicken was burnt and the rice was not fully cooked and dry. Nothing tasted right.

Had to leave. Food everywhere, tables not clean, bathrooms out of soap. Girl working food line walked off in the middle of orders. Girl working register grabbed flour tortillas by hand, wrapped them and put on incorrect order (no hand washing, def touching money...), she then opened the allergy free food, contaminating it. We left. Grossest Chipotle we've seen.

Chipotle’s are always a little risky, but every time I go to this location during lunch time they go above and beyond to minimize cross contamination. They will get new utensils, toppings, and even open a new bag of bowls. There’s a big burly man and a set of twins that always take such good precautions and seem to really care

Staff was very knowledgeable and nice. I told them I had celiac disease, a gluten allergy, and they immediately washed their hands and changed their gloves. They were able to get some of the food from the back as well. One of the better Chipotle's I've been to. Only rated 4 stars for safety because it is a chain and doesn't have any dedicated gluten free anything really. Not sure how safe an extremely symptomatic celiac would be at any chipotle. Compared to the rest of the Chipotle's I've been to I would rate it 5 stars in terms of safety.
