Incredible tacos! Their fryers are all gluten free so was able to order fried fish taco which was so delicious! You order on your phone so most of the service is very hands off but someone came to the table to discuss my allergies (I have multiple) to ensure my food was safe.

Great food and a variety of gluten free options. I like that you can mark a gluten allergy easily when you order. I had the mushroom taco, chips and guacamole, and the cauliflower pistachio taco.

Only concern is the open hot sauces at the table, definitely cross contamination possible there.

I eat here often and have never gotten sick. All of the tacos are gluten free, and you have the option of marking allergies when ordering on the app. This is my favorite place to eat, I usually go to this location but have also been to the one on the wharf and also had great experiences. The fish and pork belly tacos are my favorite, and I also love the plantains.

This place was pretty good. Most of the items were gluten-free, but I had to ask about it, as it wasn't marked on the menu.

I love bar taco but I have gotten sick here after eating the pork belly and the duck. Not sure what did it as those are both gluten free items. Could be cross contamination.

I’ve eaten at this one and the one in King of Prussia, PA. They have the best allergen protocols I think I’ve ever seen at a restaurant. Check out their website. Also, it helps that nearly everything is GF. It was delicious!

New favorite restaurant! The manager happened to be the host on a busy Sunday and while giving us the rundown about the restaurant asked if we had any allergies. He explained how to order, which you do from the table and can easily mark dishes as gluten free or any other allergies you might have! The chips and gauc were delicious and all tacos are on corn tortillas. There are also rice bowls and other menu items. Better than Chipotle for a similar price!

I have been to several locations and this time I was just a little disappointed. Things are not marked on their online ordering system, which is how you order now because they don’t have the paper slips anymore. Our waitress claimed all tacos are gf, which I knew from prior experience isn’t true. The online ordering system does give options for allergies, so you can say you have a gluten allergy which is close, then I put comments on each item indicating celiac disease. I had the chicken and pork belly tacos, street corn (order it off the cob!), and chips and guac. Service is minimal because of COVID and ordering online. I would request more information if you haven’t eaten here before, or ask to speak to a chef to be certain.

This place is one of the absolute best GF options around. I get takeout from here several times a month. The food is delicious, and they completely understand and are conscientious about food allergies & celiac. Most of the menu is GF and they have lots of DF options as well. Huge bonus points for allowing you to specify allergy info in their app, making it really easy to order ahead for pickup.

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 ordered kids quesadilla for my kid and specified he had Celiac. They told me everything is gluten free and only if I specifically ask, they would give us flour tortillas. My kid really liked it and only at end after we were done, the waiter came and apologized that it was actually flour tortillas.
