Risk of cross contamination is high, staff touch the wraps then pick of lettuce etc with their hands, chances are crumbs are going to get in there

I think the best nachos I've ever had are from this place! Several GF options. Highly recommend but I'd ask them to change their gloves and coeliacs don't have grated cheese, melted cheese is best option!

This is a chain with locations throughout Australia. They have several GF options -- the naked burritos, the nachos, and two kinds of tacos (all marked GF on the menu). The food is edible. It's good in an emergency when you just need to get something, anything, to eat.

The menu is clearly marked with GF options. They only have two or three things but I've never had a breakout with them. The nachos and Mexicali tacos are gluten free. Cheap, easy takeaway.

Food is delicious and most of the items are gluten free. Gluten-free items are marked on the menu, and on their website there's an allergen sheet that goes into more detail about if there's gluten in anything. But it does state there still may be traces of gluten in the food. I often get the chicken nachos as a quick, easy lunch.

When I asked what toppings were GF for my coeliac son I was told that every single topping is GF and the only thing they sell that isn’t are the tortillas, but they use corn tortillas for nachos and tacos so almost the entire menu is GF. They took care to make my sons nachos first before making my other sons burrito and I could see they were being careful to not have his tortilla anywhere near my coeliac sons food. Great to have an almost entirely safe takeaway option when out in the city!
