We had the Fuego bowls and they were both filling and delicious. An order at the counter, delivery to the table sort of place. The cookies looked out of this world delicious, but they were made with wheat.

It was absolutely amazing.....all flavors were over the top great. I agree with the other comments about the corn tortilla being very substantial, with superior texture and flavor, but I don't understand how it doesn't have flour in it. My dining partner suggested that lard is the secret ingredient. I live in Austin in a neighborhood that is very friendly to people who eat Gluten free, but this place was so great it is worth the 40 minutes it took to get home times 2, any day of the week.

This location was a total mess. No organization, super loud music so the cashier couldn’t hear me when I asked about gluten, and my fiancé didn’t get one of his tacos. Best to avoid this place. I am not confident at all about their procedures handling gluten. The worker I saw handling the trash was also handing out people’s food….

Menu marked GF. Their corn tortillas are made in house, the best most durable corn tortillas I have had! I did however believe it to be a flour tortilla at first because the look and taste but I was reassured, and then compared it to someone with me and it was for sure corn! They’re just that good! Been multiple times and never had a issue with cross contamination

Although there are clear menu items that are GF, there has been two separate times when I was served tacos on a flour tortilla. So just be aware, and double check.

Staff is usually pretty good about the gluten free stuff, and I’m a celiac and have never had a problem eating there. Their corn tortillas are made there and are big and durable!! No doubling up. There is definitely a chance for cross contamination but like I’ve said, I have never had an issue

No items are listed as gluten free, only a few items on the menu are listed as flour free and they note that cross contamination can occur.

My child had a little bit of chicken from one of the bowls listed as flour free and was not interested in the other items in the bowl.

The food was okay but definitely does not feel like a safe option for Celiacs.

The food is not good and Service is bad. I went on 12/3/2023 with my friend and firstly my taco was cold. I ended up fixing my taco with my friends tortilla and asked them to swap my friends tortilla for another. They threw it and said no we can’t take care of that. Last time I will go or recommend that restaurant. Very Bad Service.

Only one gluten free option (the hippie taco) and the menu is labeled, but it also says there is a chance of cross contamination. I did not get sick, but I’d steer clear if you are severely reactive to cross contamination.

They said chips are ok, no flour items fried with them.

Place is a little dirty.
