I used to work at this location and know what the safety protocols are supposed to be and they are the best location I’ve been to when it comes to preventing cross contamination. Just tell them you have a gluten allergy and they are trained to change their gloves, wash their hands, take you all the way down the line so they’re the only one touching your food, and they should pull out things like cheese and lettuce from the cooler as to avoid cross contamination. If you have any problems, the management there is super helpful.

The staff all switched gloves and took brand new food under the counter to prevent cross contamination!
Yes
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."
Delicious food! Great staff who is sure to take care of you. My favorite Chipotle to eat at! No cross contamination! They will get fresh fixings for Celiacs.

Made a soft corn shell quesadilla for my daughter on a separate griddle covered with foil. Corn tortilla chips too. :) helpful and knowledgable. Ask for a manager or someone who understands gluten free if you get someone prepping who seems unsure.
Great business model and great food. They are super efficient, and although I am not celiac, so perhaps not as discerning, they're food handling practices seem excellent. The one situation I could see concern is xcontamination from using the same spoon on all varieties and I suppose I could see that if someone touched a flour tortilla while placing meat in the burrito for example and then putting te spoon back in the meat, that might raise some concern. At any rate, for those with milder sensitivities it seems ok.
They couldn’t guarantee that the food would be safe because they touch the spoons to the tortillas and then put them back into the food. They also dump the bottom of the old trays into the new ones so I couldn’t even ask for just the new stuff. They said they didn’t have a separate area with newly prepped food.

All chipotle’s are great for celiac. You can get a bowl and all rice, beans, chicken, steak, and pork as well as all sauces, cheese and guacamole is gluten free. The only thing that has gluten is the tortillas for burritos and tacos but they are not made in the kitchen so there is no cross contamination. Also, if you say you have an allergy the workers are trained to change their gloves. I have eaten at chipotles all over the country and I have never gotten sick. It is a go to when you want to eat safely and need a chain restaurant.

Basically all of their food is gluten free, minus the tortillas (obviously), you can get a bowl but there is so much cross contamination that you can’t even eat there. If you’re gluten free (not celiac) you should be fine, but if you’re celiac like me DO NOT EAT THERE
