Update: no longer 100% GF. Disappointing when restaurants do this when they are nearly there and it’s so easy to keep that one or two things off the menu. They’ve removed all mentions of gluten free from their website

Had to modify my review to a 1 since they are no longer a dedicated gf restaurant (despite what their website says they are using regular flour products). I wouldn’t pay the expensive prices here for a not dedicated gf environment.

As of 12/07/21 this place is no longer a dedicated kitchen no matter what the website says. We went in to order and told them my wife was a celiac and they said yesterday they go wheat tortillas to use for quesadillas. If your sensitive at all i wouldnt eat here. That being said, if you just have crohns or are able to have slight cross contamination then this would be a solid spot. Overall the tacos are pretty good, the brisket taco was absolutely fantastic actually! The big win was the guacamole, that shit was absolutely delicious.

This is not a review of the food, I’m sure it’s wonderful, but as of 12/7/21 they are no longer dedicated GF, they have incorporated flour tortillas. The website still says everything is GF.

Good, but pretty pricey ($5.50+ per taco or $15 for a bowl). I was willing to pay for the safety, but it was definitely the most I’ve paid for a taco in a long time.

All gluten free 👍🏼 Simple menu, a little bit pricey and underwhelming, but I recommend going during happy hour for $5 margaritas (good ones) and other deals so it’s worth it!

Loved this place! Super friendly, great service and felt super comfortable here. Got two delicious tacos and their limeade that was very good. Highly recommend to my celiac/ gluten free friends!

A little pricey for tacos but they were full of meat. I ordered two and could only eat a little more than one. My favorite was the carne asada. We also had chips and guacamole which was good and the lime aid was great. If you are expecting American style tacos these are not. They are definitely more traditional.

When I asked if they had gluten free options I was told all their food was gluten free. My meal was tasty and I would definitely go back if I ever go to Portland again.
