Went to Brittania location. Server and hostess were celiac aware, pointed out the non celiac friendly menu items and brought the food saying they told the kitchen it's celiac. Most of the menu is gluten free and there are lots of choices. Felt comfortable dining here.

This. Place. Is. Not. Gluten. Free. Thank god for the open kitchen style. We were able to watch a cook, shred chicken with his bare hands, toss gluten buns on the grill, go back to shredding chicken, while also serving their donuts and drinking his Starbucks. We are livid that a place that, touts their corn tortillas and chips, would be so carefree with their sanitation. Will not be going back again.

Staff were aware but limited in their knowledge. Went through the process of questioning and explaining with the server, he advised against the tortilla chips as they had been fried in a shared frier, but did mention that sometimes they have fresh tortilla chips that they can ensure are safe, there are both flour and corn tortillas so we discussed this and ordered corn. The person I was with ordered flour, and when they arrived they had all tacos on a shared plate with my corn touching the flour tacos. They didn’t seem to understand when I tried to explain.

I come here all the time. Nearly all of the menu is naturally gluten free. Tacos, tostadas, margaritas (or three). Happy Hour is highly recommended!

Great Mexican food restaurant. The place was packed. Meats were flavourful while both salsas added variety. The bar tender was unique and added flair, besides knowing how to make drinks.

The chips are not gluten free which is unfortunate, they gave me tortillas with the guacamole. I assume it has to do with the doughnuts they make. Most of the tacos (not all) are gluten free.

There are a few safe tacos to eat, but sadly the tortilla chips that come with guacamole are contaminated in their fryer. The alternative option is to have guacamole with uncooked taco shells (not great on their own), so I always save my side order guacamole and shells to add to my main meal tacos. It would be so easy for them to keep some gf que pasa chips in the back but no such luck.
