Chronic Tacos

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.

Excellent food!! It was a bit saltier than I would prefer but I think if I left sauce off it would have been fine. Huge portion so it took me 2 days to eat it all. Great flavors!

They said all items except the battered and fried items and the flour tortillas are GF but the fryer and warmer are shared. The staff was very helpful but something I ate bothered me. I'm only gluten intolerant but I could tell. I would be very cautious if you are celiac.

The staff is very knowledgeable about their gluten free options. I’m gluten intolerant & enjoyed it.

NOT GLUTEN FREE. Despite having lots of things marked gluten free on the menu, nothing but the salad or burrito bowl is even remotely safe. They use the same shared fryer for everything, including flour tortillas and churro bites. The tortilla warmers are shared. The disclaimer on the menu about "potential cross contamination" should be changed to "will be contaminated". I asked for a glove change but then three other people also touched my food. None of them had any idea about celiac and thought I was being a pain.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

Ordered Uber Eats from this place because they had a corn tortilla (GF) option. I recommend getting the take out directly from the store, it was all a little soggy by the time it got delivered. Can’t comment on the food prep/customer service. Food was okay, very simple. Again, probably better if it’s not delivered!
