Good option for chips and guac. I would not recommend getting tacos if you are allergic to gluten. All the tacos are made with corn tortillas however the burritos are made with flour tortillas and they are made the the same stove top. I asked if they could change their gloves and put foil down on the stove while making my tacos to prevent cross contamination however after they talked about it for five minutes I decided it was not worth risking it and so I only got the chips and guac. The chips are not fried and they are corn so they were great and the guac was great too. Just would not recommend if you want a full meal.

Absolute chaos. Walked in to do takeout because there is no number listed to call ahead. Asked if the veggie nachos were gf and they said yes. When the order was handed over only 1 of the 4 items were in the bag. Handed it back and received 2 of the 4 items. 3rd try was the charm. We had 4 items, the nachos were slathered in cilantro so they looked right. Got them home and we’re eating them and halfway through came across chicken. At this point my celiac daughter had been eating them but stopped when she realized it wasn’t what she ordered. Found a number to call to try and verify instead of walking the 20 minutes roundtrip. All 3 options at the number rang to a voicemail so we left a message and 24 hours later have not received a response. My daughter at this point was concerned so she did not eat anymore and decided it was better to go to bed hungry. She did not have a reaction so that’s the best I can say. Absolute mess.

Honestly pretty tasty. Not marked but my server was super knowledgeable and I got the burrito bowl with fish and they were able to grill it instead of having it fried to make it gf.

Most food on the menu is GF and the staff were very knowledgeable for coeliacs and dairy intolerance. Tacos and guac were good.

Prepackaged chips and tortillas further minimises risk of cross contamination.
