I’ve eaten at one of the Atlanta locations whenever I’m in ATL. When I saw they have one in DC I was super excited! It’s always so good. My bf really liked it as well

I did not feel like tacos but I landed here out of desperation for casual, safe food - with a bar because I was eating alone. I am so glad I did! The fish, shrimp, crispy oyster, & cauliflower pistachio tacos were all delicious. The bartender was so kind and made great recommendations. It was busy but the food came out FAST. I left happy & very full.

My friends never seen me eat so much
To come home with a full belly and no sickness grateful
Note: ask that your tacos come on the tostada no the flour shell.
Other than that no gluten items

I have celiac disease. This place is almost exclusively gluten free. The salad automatically comes with GF croutons! The guacamole and chips were GF and amazing!

This place has a chart on their website showing allergens — it’s the most detailed chart I remember seeing. They were happy to remove dairy from my tacos, which were yummy. The “chips” they provided with the guacamole were tostadas. Tasted good and no reaction afterwards. I also had the tajin pineapple—no problems there either. My only complaint was that there weren’t more vegetarian taco options.

Review
This place is great! According to our waiter, almost all of their menu can be gluten free, minus desserts and kid quesadillas. He indicated they have a separate fryer for gf items. I ordered the chips and guac and four of the little tacos, and they were delicious! My fave was the glazed pork belly. Service was very good too even though they were busy.

Review
First time ever eating there i was a bit worried because the place was very busy and it took an hour to be seated. You order on your phone which also caused me to stress but most of the menu is gluten free and there is a part in ordering process where u can say your allergies. Also can ask workers personally to tell the chefs. Not the best taco i have ever had but the atmosphere makes up for it. Did not get sick and felt good after.

Soo good that we ended up eating here twice while we were in town. Highlights were the fish tacos, pork belly tacos, street corn, margaritas, and chips and guacamole. The staff was so friendly! We wished we lived closer because this would definitely be our go to place!

Delicious and unique tacos. I have a gluten and dairy allergy and they were very aware of options. Almost everything is gluten free and most can be modified for dairy free. Tacos are small so I tried 4 different tacos: tuna, duck, mushroom, and chicken.

Everything is gluten free except for the kids quesadilla and some desserts. Even the fried fish tacos are fried in rice flour batter. Servers are super friendly and knowledgeable about gluten

Review
Ate there twice, the first time in restaurant. Very clear with each server. Said everything but the quesadillas and desserts are gluten free. Confirmed they can make the quesadillas on corn tortillas. Second time, ordered online and noted allergy and ask to take care to avoid cross contamination and ask to swap flour tortillas for corn. I was ordering for my two sons that have celiac and I was away (they had a babysitter). Unfortunately, the restaurant did not swap the tortilla and I only noticed when I came home. I now have two very sick kids. I would not recommend as it is not safe for people with celiac as the servers and kitchen did not read notes.
