I said I had a gluten allergy, and they immediately changed their gloves without being asked. Any Costa Vida I’ve tried always seems to be very good about cross contamination, especially since most of their menu is gluten free anyway. I got the steak salad with corn tortillas. I’m glad that even their chip strips on top of the salad are safe. Delicious and no reaction!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They say they are gluten free but when they use their gluten filled gloves to grab the chips a change of gloves for me won't make a difference. They are already have contaminated them. It happens for most everything I assume because I get sick everytime I eat there. Not safe for celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They are very aware and have a good protocol that they carefully follow to prevent contamination. However there are wheat tortillas being prepared in the same kitchen area but several feet away. I'm a celiac and had no problem. Food is really good. Definitely 5*s!

Cross contamination does occur when staff places meats with tongs touching the wheat tortilla then places those tongs back in the GF meats bins... The recipes may be GF but the cross contamination is the hurdle here for celiacs

No

Awesome job! Very impressed when the staff washed hands before handling my meal. They also don't make you feel like a burden and are very helpful.

I have Celiacs, and latex allergies. im a regular there, so they ordered latex free gloves. The staff is knowledgeable about gfs, and other allergies. Plus the staff is friendly, and on the ball! This is my go to restaurant!

THIS location is amazing. My husband is very sensitive, and can only eat at this location. They have a SEPARATE PRESS for their corn tortillas. ONE person walks your order through, so no one else touches it. He's never gotten sick at this location. You still have some consistency issues with how hot the sauces are, but they're still tasty. This location is safe. I've had two very sensitive celiacs eat here, and they have never gotten sick here. GREAT location.

This company is not safe!!! They make their wheat tortillas in the same press that they use to make their "gluten free" corn tortillas. Cross contamination is a huge issue with all of their restaurants and the employees have not been trained in gluten free production practices. I do not know a celiac who has not gotten sick at Costa Vida.

Great experience. All GF except flour Tortilla, pie and cookies. Goes through oven in individual container.

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.
