10/10 As a celiac, travelling internationally (from New Zealand) of course the last thing I want is to be glutened while away from my home comforts if glutened - I need to curl up and ride it out. I was ecstatic with joy to have 10/10 service, knowledge, choices, and taste! They have lots of corn flour options. I was sooo happy afterwards. Definitely recommend, and would totally return!!! If you are super sensitive; I was warned the corn chips are fried in same frying machine - they do not have a separate fryer. I am usually sensitive, but when in Rome... right! So I took the risk; with no reaction. Fish taco, and rice 'n' black bean where the best! Plus corn chips and salsa, guacamole! They could not accommodate for GF quesadilla or burrito.

Just called based on the positive reviews here, nothing is gluten free except corn tortillas, salsa, lettuce, cheese, sour cream. No meat for the tacos is gluten free. Chips are made in a shared fryer and not gluten free. Disappointed as we were heading here tonight based on the recommendations on this app and nothing is safe.

Knowledge Staff, anything can be altered to be GF, chips are safe. No “dedicated” fryer for gluten free but they don’t fry anything with flour, only corn.

Very good experience, we went twice in one week. They made my celiac daughter cheese quesadillas with corn tortillas that she loved. Despite what the previous reviewer said, the chips for the chips and salsa are NOT fried in a dedicated fryer.
