The server had no idea what “gluten”, gluten-free, or “I cannot eat wheat” meant. I tried all of these phrases but she looked perplexed, waved a stack of wheat tortillas at me and said, “you want these”?? Someone else overheard and came over to tell her which things I could eat and couldn’t, and then promptly left again. The server did not change her gloves, and left it up to me to pick the items for my bowl that I thought I could eat. The bowl was tasty, but who knows if there was cross-contamination.

Great workers who actively offered to switch gloves and were helpful. Most items on the allergen menu are gluten free, but I knew immediately there was some cross contamination. Would’ve probably had a better experience going earlier in the day when all sides had been made fresh and just placed in the serving area.

I eat here at least once a week. I always get a rice bowl with chicken. I make sure they change their gloves and never have gotten sick. Everything is gluten free except the flour tortillas but I feel confident I’m safe with cc.

I ordered online and used the allergen menu to guide my order. When I arrived they said they couldn’t make it because nothing would be gluten free. I appreciate them telling me rather than making it when they didn’t think it was safe, but I was a bit confused. This could have been one employee unfamiliar with their allergens and cross contamination, so I will give them that. But overall they did not make me feel very confident in their awareness.

Alot of gluten free options! Queso is gluten free. Love the naked burrito!

All of the food here is gluten-free according to the staff person. Except of course the flour burrito wraps. I don’t know what their soft taco wraps are made of. I don’t think they serve crispy tacos. The first person in the assembly line did not know what celiac was (Possible language barrier). The second person knew all the ropes and offered to start my bowl over, to which I agreed. They change their gloves and redid my bowl. That person also knew I might not want lettuce because they touch it with their gloved hands that also touch burritos.

Qdoba has their allergen menu on their website. Most items are marked gluten free and the staff will change gloves if asked. I ordered a burrito bowl.

Today, we had the best experience at any Qdoba! It was in Rapid City, SD and I asked the gentleman if he could change his gloves because my daughter has celiac! He not only changed his gloves, but made everyone else change their gloves and then packaged up hers separately! He was so amazing and when we told him “Thank you” for the last time he replies “no worries, I know it’s more than just an intolerance and don’t want her to get sick”!

Again, when we asked if he could change his gloves because of celiac, he was amazing!

They claimed to be gluten free, however that was a lie. She told me everything on the line was safe, however within 45 minutes I knew I was glutened. Not safe. Will not attempt again.

Celiac friendly?

No

All ingredients are GF except the tortillas, unsure about the chips. The person helping me had just returned from break so they were already putting on fresh gloves, but I have a feeling a reminder would have been needed. Had a great experience, food was delicious and I didn’t have to explain anything or ask a bunch of questions.

Server changed gloves and advised me not to have the corn shell as they deep fry it. Had a taco salad. She got a fresh bin of cheese out for me. She was knowledgeable and downright stellar. I’d eat here again. The food was great.

Pretty much the brisket taco salad was the only gluten feee but it was very good.

The server was knowledgeable when I told them that I have celiac disease. She immediately changed her gloves and told all of the other servers. It is NOT a dedicated gluten free kitchen, but similarly to chipotle, the meats and veggies are all GF - avoid the tortillas, potatoes (deep fried), and sauces (except pick de Gallo)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great place for lunch / dinner. To my knowledge, the only item with gluten is the flour tortillas.

I looked at the allergen sheet and most everything is gluten free except the tacos bc they use flour tortillas. The bowls do not contain wheat. Some of the salad dressings are not gluten free. The chips “may contain [wheat].” I can’t rate on safeness bc I did not eat here. I did not want to risk it since I accidentally ate something with gluten a couple of days ago.

I’ve never had a problem at this qdoba. Andy made my rice bowl and he was so kind about changing his gloves and taking my rice bowl all the way down the line himself to assure I got what I wanted in the safest possible way. I will be returning.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I came in after seeing the positive reviews but was disappointed when the staff told me all the utensils touch flour tortillas. High-risk of cross-contamination, not Celiac friendly. Thankfully, the staff was kind and knew to steer me elsewhere so I wouldn’t get sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

Excellent. Food tasted great. One of the staff went and washed and changed gloves and then spent the time to take our food down the whole line in order to minimize any risk of cross contamination. Not only did it taste great and feel good in our stomachs but it also was affordable.

Easy, reliable gluten free option during travels! Allergen info here: https://assets.ctfassets.net/qkbff05k1bjx/7oH8fegGCbJNauVmD1Kimc/222bc897305fcf19dd38938269b18dbb/Allergen_Chart_and_Ingredient_Statement_8.1.2019.pdf

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am not sure how (or if) they train their employees to deal with customers with gluten issues. I told the employee I had a gluten allergy (technically I have celiac disease, but I find servers understand the severity better when I use the term “allergy”), and he didn’t seem to know what I was talking about. I had to ask him to change his gloves. Nothing I ordered had gluten in it but I still got sick afterwards so I am assuming I got cross-contaminated somehow.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have to eat gluten free due to a high sensitivity to gluten. I’ve eaten Qudoba MANY times at other locations without a problem when I order a burrito bowl. So, prior to our flight, I chose to order a burrito bowl with brown rice, black beans, chicken, Pico, lettuce, and guacamole. This is my standard order at Qudoba. However, within 15 minutes of finishing my food, I began to not feel well. My stomach began to hurt, I felt bloated, and had to find a restroom stat! We almost missed our flight due to how I felt. I was miserable on the flight, but thankfully made it to our destination with only one trip to the restroom while on the plane. I think that there was either gluten in something I ate or the food was contaminated with something else. Beware, that this Qudoba location is NOT safe!!!

Celiac friendly?

No

Have never felt sick eating here! I just ask for a glove change before they prepare stuff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Told the girl I was gf, she immediately took off her gloves, washed her hands and put on new gloves. The cashier was knowledgable in what I could/could not have. No tortilla, no chips and no spicy sauce. I was able to get a rice bowl with chicken and queso. Not much I could not eat. No reaction. Very good experience.

The staff will prepare your food using fresh ingredients from new bins. Some staff will try to argue and say they are all trained to not touch the spoon to the tortillas. That may be true but I have seen them do cross contamination that way and with touching using their hands. One manager in particular will argue with you. It sucks but I love me a burrito bowl lol just stand your ground if you are celiac. Calling ahead is best because I have gone in before and waited in a very long line, only to get to the front and be told (by that same manager who always argues) that they would need to serve the other customers first. I ended up leaving. UPDATE: Just tried to come back here and was explaining how I needed the ingredients out of fresh bins because even the utensil touching the tortilla would make me sick. He then proceeded to throw every utensil from the bins to the side and throw in new ones and then asked what I wanted. I will never come back to this location, it was unprofessional and rude

Celiac friendly?

No

Over the past few years, this has become my go to for eating gluten free for around $10 at the airport.

I do ask the person working to change gloves and be the only one prepping my bowl. I learned to ask from a different location's manager who is celiac.

Only negative I've experienced is that each person is so different when portioning. Sometimes my bowl is quite full and other times it has lots of airspace.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The manager informed me that nothing was gluten free. I informed him we eat here weekly and I’m sorry I inconvenienced you by asking you to change your gloves and to get a few fresh items but I don’t appreciate being lied too.

Bowls with everything minus chips are safe

Service was rude, bowl was gross! Waste of $15 They didn't even ask if it was an allergy. Totally not impressed

Celiac friendly?

No

The burrito bowl seems to be the safest thing here, and it’s not bad. Based on the items in their assembly line there seems to be a relatively low chance of cross-contamination (the tortillas aren’t kept near open food). I didn’t get glutened. Just FYI, there isn’t really anything GF after security in Terminal A (other than candy).

They didnt know what had gluten and what doesn't. The waiter literally told me: this only has flour, so I guess you can eat it"...

I had to ask the server to change his gloves, which he did, but only put salad in the bowl and passed it down the line to the next person without saying a word to her about my celiacs or anything. Her hands were all over my salad after touching the flour tacos in line in front of me. Not safe for celiacs. Better off going just down the hall toward terminal to floret, where they have premade food in the deli case marked gluten free or several gluten free options on the menu

Celiac friendly?

No

They have a nutritional facts sheet if you google it and it lets you know what you can eat. I enjoy eating here often!

The food is good, and most options are gluten free. They were helpful to me and changed gloves, and I had a good experience! The allergen info is also easily accessible online.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not bad, didn't get get sick, but the employees weren't knowledgeable, however they were helpful, changed gloves and cleaned prep area when asked. They have Impossible 2.0 which is gluten free as well.

I just went in and asked if they knew anything about gluten free. No one behind the counter even knew what that meant. So I had my answer and left without ordering!

Celiac friendly?

No

I ate here two times while I was delayed for eight hours and it was great! The food tasted good! I asked for ingredients from the back that hadn’t been touched yet. The staff was very knowledgeable about my needs. They had an allergen guide that was very helpful! I ordered 3 Tacos. I did NOT get sick and felt fine after!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Safe GF option as always. Burrito bowl with double meat. Yum.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Several of the menu options are gluten free.

The man who helped me was phenomenal. I explained that I have celiac disease and asked him to tell me if anything I chose was risky. He handled my order from start to finish. When I asked for guacamole, he explained that it is next to the fried tortilla strips so he got mine out of the back. So nice! And no glutening!! So thankful!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Kind of like a Chipotle. Folks behind the counter seemed gluten aware.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love this place and I never had any issues
