Good Golly Tamale

Their beans and several of their tamales contain Better than Bullion which is not celiac safe. Buyer beware!

Delicious. All the food is gluten free. They even had some gluten free cookies. They are not "dedicated gluten free" just because not all the products are certified gf but they are all naturally gf. To my knowledge there is no gluten in the facility.

I have had these tamales tons of times, and just realized that they use better than bouillon in most of there tamales. Better than bouillon is not gluten free, so now I’m pretty hesitant to eat here. They really shouldn’t advertise being gluten free when they don’t use products that actually advertise being gluten free. ):

My wife and I (celiac, just me) had delicious tamales at GGT. We can’t compliment the food enough.

We did notice that the kitchen may not be entirely gluten-free. The chef informed us that their stock is Better than Bouillon, which generally is not GF. He said that they use this in the black beans. He also said that there is no indication that their fish sauce is gluten-free. Fish sauce tends to contain gluten unless clearly stated otherwise. He checked the bottle and said there was no labeling of GF. We let the restaurant know and hope they will clarify. We note the reviews left by celiacs who did not have significant reactions to the items they ate.

Got a classic tamale and the rice. The tamale was really good, rice was somewhat burned. But I didn’t have a reaction and I am very sensitive to cross contamination so I’m confident it was gluten free

I ate here several times before my diagnosis and always found the food AMAZING. I'm vegetarian and always felt like I had plenty of options. In preparation to go back to Good Golly post-celiac diagnosis, I reviewed their website and saw on their FAQ page that they are 100% gluten free.

The owners and managers could not guarantee the food was gluten-free. They turned us away.

Got the vegan tamale on Saturday from the food cart. I love the fact that I don’t have to worry about eating the tamales. They are amazing!

Food is great. Everything is gluten free except one cookie that was a chocolate no bake cookie. They are not located here right now. They are down the street at a temporary location.

Amazing tamale selection. They do a great job with corn masa and the fillings. It’s all GF.
