Review


I definitely got glutened here and it was one of the times I was the most sick after eating out. I told the server about my needs for gluten free and was assured that at this location all the chips were gluten free (he said this location only fyi) and out of the tacos I ordered they could all be made to be gluten free with a 100% corn tortilla. He stated they were very familiar with celiac at this location because many of the customers had dietary restrictions and that the “kitchen knew what to do”. I got the chips and mango salsa and afterwards I noted the menu said the fryer was a shared fryer. I quickly took one of my GlutenEase supplements just in case, which is usually enough to stop any cross contamination issues. I ordered 4 tacos, but one came out with fried potatoes on top so I didn’t eat it. One hour later I was as sick as I’ve ever been. I’m not sure that the chips were actually gluten free or what happened but if you’re celiac I cannot recommend eating here. Or if you do get a plain salad. I noted also on the gluten free tacos they had some soy ingredients, which should have alerted me that they are probably using soy sauce with wheat as well.
