The lady who took my order immediately took her gloves off, washed her hands for a long time, and put on a fresh pair of gloves when I told her I was celiac. They grilled my tacos on a fresh piece of tin foil on the grill. They also bagged my stuff separately from everyone else's. No huffing or signing or eye rolling! She was very happy to do it! The best service I have received in awhile!

I loved this place but I saw a girl dump rice that she just had on a flour tortilla back into the thing of rice.

Notes


From their allergen list: We have worked diligently to remove wheat gluten from all our sauces, dressings, and proteins. Natural glutens remain only in our flour and wheat tortillas and in two desserts--tres leches and key lime pie. This means that we offer "oceans of gluten-free options" in our menu. All of these items are gluten-free: all enchiladas, all tacos, all salads (without the flour or wheat tortilla), all nachos, and our chicken tortilla so up...which uses corn strips.

This may be my favorite place to go for gf food. As soon as I say "gluten free" they take off their gloves and put on a new pair. They even put tinfoil down to cook my food on so no cross contamination happens. I always get a taco.

Although most of the food is gluten free they are not good about cross contamination. I have watched them contaminate the GF corn tortillas on numerous occasions, and at numerous locations. I no longer eat there. Food is great, but not safe.

They are very careful and make sure everyone knows your meal is Gf. I love all the options and I go almost once a week! One day I went in and asked for an enchilada but they were out of corn tortillas. So then I asked for soup instead and they were also out. It was kind of annoying for a minute but then they made me a salad and didn't charge me!! I was pretty happy about that :)

Staff was kind and knowledgeable. Changed gloves and washed their hands without being told. They also let us “tweak” the side of chips to have melted cheese instead of having to order a huge order of nachos for a child.

Server immediately changed gloves and washed hands when I mentioned a gluten allergy, in addition, he pulled my tray from the back and used the serving counter in the back to prevent cc, and walked my tray himself through the rest of line, communicating with other team members that he had an allergy order. Very impressed with how he handled everything! Everything is gf except for the flour tortillas.
