Review of Island Taco

Had a good experience here and did not get sick later! I ordered a grilled mahi-mahi taco and a shrimp taco (the shrimp taco was tastier). While there wasn’t a GF menu or anything marked GF on the menu, the cashier had a list of items containing gluten (see below) and consulted with the chef/cook with any questions. I had also ordered chips & guacamole and she came out later to tell me the chef had informed her that the chips wouldn’t be safe for me to eat since other things are fried in the same oil. I had checked about that specifically before ordering, so she may not have been well-informed or understood my question so I was glad she double-checked and updated me! My husband and son (not GF) really enjoyed a chicken quesadilla and pork enchilada plate.

The items that are NOT GF were anything with flour tortillas, enchilada sauce, batter and “wet burrito style.” I’ll add to that list: anything fried, including tortilla chips.
