A GF burrito is a relative rarity. Lulu’s is pretty solid. Plenty of outdoor seating.

Great to have a menu dedicated to GF options. Not sure how uncontaminated the kitchen is. We'll see how she feels :-)

We eat here all the time. I think they have great food here and I really appreciate the fact that they have a Chile relleno that I can eat! I thought the staff seemed very helpful as always.

One of my go-to places for delivery orders. They know their stuff and mark my dish as the gf one in the order. Some of the meat options aren’t gf, so just ask before ordering and double check about how they’re cooking it that day (like can they keep it in a non cross contaminated part of the grill). I mostly eat vegetarian, so it’s a non-issue for me. They have gf chips made in a separate fryer. I love them!

GF menu items clearly marked, and many GF options beyond simple tacos on corn tortillas. Great food and service! My celiac partner was fine, and we both really enjoyed it.

Their online menu (not order site, see details below) has things clearly marked what can and can’t be gf. Lots of great options!

Ordering online through different sites though is a bit tricky. Some sites for pickup allow you to hit gluten free on items that aren’t in the menu marked as gf - not clear whether that means they can modify them or what. I went the default safe route and only got something (tamales) listed as gf on the main site menu. Delicious and no cross contamination issues. That being said we ended up doing through door dash (yet another order site) and they didn’t have the same GF order options although they did allow notes on the items.

So, be cognizant of details if ordering online. But yum for the food! (I give it an overall “4”/5 for safety due to the multiple online ordering options being so different and making it possible to accidentally order something not gf and getting confused).
