Last updated on Dec 23, 2022 by Adam Bryan. These menus are unofficial meaning they may not be accurate and can change at any time.

Chipotle Gluten Free Menu

Here’s the complete Chipotle gluten free menu.

The best thing about Chipotle is that menu is that around 97% of the normal menu is already gluten free. The only major thing missing from the Chipotle gluten free menu is the flour tortillas used for the soft tacos and burritos. And in regards to cross-contamination, it’s pretty limited.

I absolutely love Chipotle. Hands down, it’s my favorite Mexican fast food joint out there. And the best about it, the best, most delicious entree ever is gluten free- the burrito bowl. I love the burrito bowl. It’s just perfect. A heaping of cilantro lime rice, and a little bit of chicken and pinto beans, topped off with some sour cream and mild salsa.

    Alas It seems to me that Chipotle is not gluten free at all. They may have many items that are NGI (No gluten ingredients) which is great for many people but the serving setup pretty much guarantees contamination since utensils that touch flour tortillas are dipped in the source bins.
    If you are Celiac and require strictly gluten free, take one look at the servers working and decide for yourself. Just make sure you have an alternate lined up.

      Let the first employee on the line know you have a gluten/wheat allergy or Celiac and they will wash their hands, and then change their gloves; and they will be the sole preparer of your order down the entire line so as to prevent cross contamination. It’s not 100% fool-proof, but it definitely helps knowing that your servers gloves did not touch the wheat tortillas.

      With that said, the rice spoon does touch the tortilla when they prepare burittos, and that same spoon is used when they make bowls. I’m no so conviced any restaurant’s food is 100% GF; there’s always the chance of cross-contamination no matter how many precautions are taken.

            Lettuce is on the menu, Holly, under “Toppings” (Romaine Lettuce)

    Cannot eat at any Chipotle. Even with their generous service of changing gloves, spoons, etc., trying to avoid cross contamination, it is hit or miss on whether or not I will get sick from wheat. I just cannot eat there anymore (and I love it). Chipotle: Listen up! You have a problem trying to help the gluten free crowd. Cross contamination is everywhere in your restaurants! Please figure this one out!

    I have found that I too struggle to eat at Chipolte without getting sick. I even stopped getting the cheese and lettuce since they use their hands to grab it after possibly touchingthe flour tortilla. It’s really unfortunate because they claim to be gluten free friendly but they don’t seem to put much thought into eliminating cross contamination issue.

    I also became sick after eating at Chipotle – twice. The first time I thought it might have been a fluke, so I tried it again and had the same result. It is definitely a cross-contamination issue. I haven’t eaten there in two years; I love, and miss, their food.

      I’m sorry to hear that Peggy. Maybe Chipotle will start to crack down on their cross contamination issues.

    I was told that they use a wheat starch in their rice like Cafe Rio. Do you know if this is true??

      Am betting the new rice info may be the reason folks are getting sick…more than the cross contact. Will be waiting to hear. Was looking to trying it!

    I tried avoiding the lettuce and cheese (bc they use their wheat infested gloves) and having the first server change gloves, etc., but the majority of the time I end up sick 🙁 it’s so sad bc I think I need to accept ITS NOT GF.

    My sister works at Chipotle and if you tell them about your allergy and ask them to make your bowl in the back out of fresh containers that have not been exposed yet then you are fine. I have Celiac disease and have never gotten sick there. They are actually trained to do that, but you have to ask.

    Problem is that it’s not really gluten free. They cross contaminate everything. They don’t change gloves after handling the wheat tortillas. And those same gloves go into the lettuce bin. They put the wheat and corn tortillas on the same warmer, etc.

      I walked straight out of Chipotle when I saw them put a corn tortilla on the warmer they’d just used for a flour tortilla. 🙁

    I think eventually restaurants will have to specify “no gluten added” or “gluten free”. No gluten added products would be foods that don’t contain gluten but could have come in contact with other products by cross contamination etc. Where as gluten free would be food that is entirely free of any gluten from ingredient to plate. Until then people will have to be be mindful that the term gluten free doesn’t always mean what it implies.

    I just had chipotle last night, and I told the server I was celiac. He changed his gloves, washed his hands, and even though they only have one warmer, he put aluminum foil both under and on top of my corn tortillasand I didn’t get sick. If your server doesn’t use foil you should call them out, because it appears it’s what they’re trained to do and if they don’t they’re just being lazy.

    I am not Celiac but have a wheat allergy. Cross-contamination has never been a problem for me. BUT my husband loves Chipotle so I will try to eat it. I have tried every meat combo and just vegetarian. I feel nauseated after eating Chipotle every single time. It’s not my major “I’ve been glutened” pain but it’s a really nasty feeling. I would love to figure out what it is about Chipotle that makes me feel like vomiting.

    Just sharing what effects me, I’ve found that a lot of people who have conditions that react to gluten also react to night shades. You may want to cut out the salsa as well.
