I love Chipotle and after I found out I was Gluten Free I was really worried that I would no longer be able to eat there however I am thrilled that they have a nice Gluten Free menu! You can view the gluten free menu online.
Everything is safe except the Burrito Size Flour Tortilla and the Taco Size Flour Tortilla! So you can enjoy everything else on the menu with no concern!
Always ask the staff to change their gloves to fresh gloves and you can also ask for fresh tools too. I personally ask them to use a clean tool when they add my meat just to be safe.

Thanks for posting this! Chipotle is my FAVORITE place. And as I am transitioning to gluten free, this is great news. Love any advice on what and where to buy gluten free foods.
My best piece of advice is to buy whole foods. Non processed. I find that by eating meat, veggies, fruit and nuts I have no worries. It is when it is cooked in sauce that you start worrying. I am working on an extensive list of Gluten Free brands too so that will be a big help too!
Sorry to ruin the party, but don’t get too excited about Chipotle being gluten free. We went to the one in Little Rock yesterday. We watched them make a flour tortilla burrito for someone else. The flour tortillas are plopped down right next to the ingredients. The guy making the meal touched the tortillas, then touched the serving spoons for various ingredients. Once in a while, a spoon would touch the tortilla before going back into the bin. And finally, there were a couple of times that too much of an ingredient was put on the tortilla, so he put some of it back in the bin. All in all, the risk of cross-contamination here cannot be ignored. We were very disappointed. Hopefully they can do something to improve the situation in the future.
