The items for gluten-free were marked very clearly on the menu. For people with other dietary restrictions, those are also very clearly marked on the menu. My husband and I both thought that the food was excellent. And I am a very sensitive celiac, and I did not get sick.

Celiac

Wife has celiac. The cactus tacos were finished in the fryer, we spoke with the manager and owner, and they agreed to pan fish the catus to eliminate cross contamination

Always tell them you are a celiac because of the fryer

Food was decent but not as exciting as the recommendation I’d heard. I ordered online and marked my items celiac but they weren’t packed separately. I believe the other items we ordered may have coincidentally been gf but it made me nervous.

DO NOT use the paper straw- it is not safe. Very knowledgeable staff, chips are not fried so celiacs can partake. Very good food. Highly recommend. GF clearly notated on menu as well as dairy free, vegan, and vegetarian.

Loved it! Got the nachos and it came out HUUUGE! Definitely could have split it but I loved every bite.

Loved that in online ordering that you could check gluten free AND celiac option. I hadn’t seen that before!

I have celiac disease and am very sensitive to cross contamination. I had no symptoms after eating there. The food was fresh and tasty with many gluten free options. Most of the menu is gluten free so the risk of cross contamination is very low.

This is a cute and fun little place. Before I talk about it, even though they have a lot of gluten free options marked on the menu, still tell them you are celiac and they will take extra care and make sure nothing goes in the fryer. My wife is the celiac and just ordering an assorted chips plate and a rice bowl was so much food. You might think it is pricey looking at the menu until you get the huge portions of food.

You literally can’t go wrong here. If you tell them that you have celiac they will make sure not to suggest any tacos that have to go in the fryer. They know all about gluten allergies and make a point to not cross contaminate. This is one of my favorite restaurants in downtown Brighton. Their menu is labeled with gluten-free options and also includes other food allergy options as well. If I could eat here every single day of my life I would. I’ve never had a bad experience.

When asking for gluten or dairy free they always ask if it is an allergy and take precautions. They are wonderful and I have never been sick there, we eat there 2 or 3 times a month.
