Chronic Tacos

It's been hit or miss for us. Some days completely free of gluten symptoms after eating here; some days definitely get glutened eating here.

For a family with Celiac, we tend to get bored of our local food options and love to explore new restaurants with caution. We found Chronic Tacos and stepped inside to find a gluten free menu and clean environment. The staff was cautious as the prepared our street tacos and potato tacos. It was yummy and we had no reactions to it. We are excited to add another gluten free option to our list.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff had no idea about what was gluten free and couldn’t answer any of my questions. Ended up leaving because I couldn’t trust it was safe to eat there!

I had tried red robin near by and they messed up my order and weren't very friendly about it. So I tried a couple other places that said no to GF and then going this gem. They were very clear about what was GF and what might have a cross contamination. I was very hangry and they quickly helped me with my options and the burrito bowl was delicious!!!

Went to Chronic Tacos because they have a cross grain symbol on several dishes on their menu, e.g tacos. However, they heat the corn tacos at the same “toaster” as wheat tortillas, fry “gluten free” tacos in same oil as gluten containing items, and touch/handle gluten containing food while preparing “gluten free” food. Huge risk of cross contamination. When I tried to explain and ask about it, they didn’t seem to understand. I decided not to take the risk and didn’t eat there. So unfortunately, the “cross grain” symbol at Chronic Tacos does not mean gluten free.

We absolutely loved the tacos, plates, and salads. All of the meats and mahi-mahi were fresh and juicy, and the toppings were fabulous, as well as all of the sauces. Great staff, too! Very personable, professional, and helpful. The tortilla strips for on top of the salad are not gluten free, fyi, but the corn tortillas are gf! Sitting outside at their tables was a great bonus.

This place is cross contamination city. I asked the guy behind the counter, I’m gluten free, what’s safest for me to have? He says, I have no idea. The corn tortillas go into the same warmer the flour does, same spoons are used in everything and I’m seriously questing the frys if they are not cross contaminated.
