Big Star

Our waitress talked through everything that was gluten free on the menu since items aren’t marked. Tortillas are made in house. The chips are made in a dedicated fryer!

Seems like their main issue is inconsistent staff training/knowledge about dietary restriction protocols. We called ahead to ask about celiac-safe options and someone said the chips weren’t recommended due to cross contamination. However, when we arrived our server was very knowledgeable and was confident the chips were made in a separate fryer and were indeed celiac-safe. We ended up getting the chips + salsa and my boyfriend didn’t get glutened! Overall: they had lots of tasty food options and a great patio ☀ Definitely try the Al Pastor taco if you go!

Great tacos and ambiance - loved this place pre celiac but unfortunately don’t feel super safe there now. Our server was knowledgeable about what gf items I could have but as the food is ready it’s brought out by various staff who obviously had no idea what was gf. I was given one taco by a staff member who, upon my inquiry as to whether that was the gf one, said she didn’t know and walked away. I was suspicious so I’m glad I asked our server - I had been given one that was NOT gf. Wouldn’t recommend this place for celiac just due to their level of attention…

Lots of GF options and great food! Everything on the menu is gluten free except for the fish and shrimp tacos. They use a separate fryer for any items with gluten, so the tortilla chips are safe to eat! Our waiter knew exactly what I meant when I asked about gluten free options and told him I have Celiac. I was with a big group and we all ordered tacos. He made sure mine came out on a separate plate to avoid any cross-contamination.

Tasty, fast, and excellent outdoor space! I got delicious nachos and agua fresca (hit the spot on a hot day!). Street parking nearby and right by the park. Waiter was very knowledgeable and had recommendations. (GF items not marked on the menu.) Everyone in our group left full and happy, and it wasn’t a big wallet hit.

Waiter was really knowledgeable! All chips, corn tortillas, and tacos are gluten free. The only items that weren’t were the fish tacos and beans. They have a dedicated fryer for the fish tacos since they have breading on them.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Several tacos can be made gluten free. Chips are made in a dedicated fryer. Awesome patio. Great place to hang out and grab a drink!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve gotten different answers about which tacos are safe or not. The pinto beans have gluten, the chicken taco has gluten... but the other ones are sometimes yes and sometimes no so I just end up getting salad.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was super knowledgeable about the food prep. There are two fryers, 100% corn tortillas and chips freshly made and totally safe. There are only 3 tacos you need to avoid on the menu and still will point them out. Super delicious!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing! They use a separate fryer for the corn tortillas and chips. Very knowledgeable about gluten free and the tacos are delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable on celiac needs. I’ve eaten here prior to diagnosis and loved it. Was excited I could return and eat safely. All tortillas are corn and the chips are safe too! Felt fine after. Chicken, fish and carnitas tacos were off limits though.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their chips are NOT in their own fryer as another review stated. Otherwise food is good and gluten free options.

Tasty street tacos. Gf came out separate from others in the group. Highly recommend the pitcher of margaritas.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Helpful staff who know the menu. Very delicious tacos worth the wait and the hype.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Almost the entire menu is gf! The tacos were small and having three of them was filling. I went on a rainy day and missed the crowds, but as soon as the sun came out the next day the crowds came out! I’ve heard they can have up to a two hour wait.

Delicious tacos! They serve only corn tortillas. The menu is not marked but my waitress pointed out everything I could eat (only 2 tacos that were off limits!). She was very knowledgeable, asked if I had celiac, and also seemed to know about other allergies. Chips are in their own fryer! I felt very safe eating here!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great tacos- loved the service wonderful atmosphere
