Review is actually for their food truck near Shark Cove/Sunset Beach. No go! Staff unwilling to even change to fresh gloves when making our order. Zero effort to give=110% chance of cross contamination, so we skipped them and went to the shrimp truck next door.

Tacos are fantastic! Staff is very knowledgeable. Everything but the tortilla chips are gluten free and they make everything on tin foil so there’s no cross contamination. Make sure to ask for corn tortillas instead of flour.

Best place we ate in North Shore. Tacos are good, Chips are safe, it’s all they make in their fryer. It’s just flour tortillas with gluten, but they have corn. They are happy to modify. Also great drinks, which is hard to find in this area. Did not get sick and I’m very sensitive!

Everything here is gluten free except the flour tortillas. The sweet pork is to die for and the surf sauce was so good. I’m anaphylactic when I eat gluten even to cross contamination and I have had any symptoms.

Favorite spot on the north shore. I got the gnarly nachos and they were easily the best nachos I’ve ever had. Staff reassured me they could do it all celiac friendly and had a sign by the counter as well. I’m a super sensitive celiac and I’ve been here multiple times. They can do almost everything gluten free you just have to ask and let them know your celiac.

Great food, the person taking my order was the chef. When they use corn tortillas, they heat them up on foil to avoid cross contamination. I had chicken tacos, add the hot sauce for a kick and both choices of salsa are excellent.

I really hate to leave bad reviews, but these are the worst tacos I have ever had. The service was awesome, and the homemade hot sauce was also awesome. The tacos, though... ugh. I hadn't eaten all day, ordered two tacos, and left after a few bites. Really, really bad. HOWEVER - chips are celiac safe, so I gave this place an extra star.

Unfortunately our experience wasn’t as good as other reviews. When my coeliac other asked if the nachos were gluten free the cashier said “uh they’re made with corn chips so I guess so.” He didn’t want to eat there because it seemed she wasn’t sure.

Went to the location in Waikiki and it was so good! They offer corn tortillas for their tacos, and the beef and pork tacos were amazing!

This is an open air restaurant (I was expecting a food truck) and the waitress said nothing on the menu had gluten in it but the flour tortillas. The pineapple salsa was SO good and I got the pork and fish tacos. There wasn’t much filling so I was a little disappointed about that. The pork was amazing though. The fish was ok. Loved the guac as well.

Mexican food tends to be safer anyway, so it's usually my go-to. Staff was kind and was able to tell me clearly what had gluten and what didn't. I had corn tortilla pork and shrimp tacos with pineapple tiki. Food was great and I didn't react;)

I have Celiac's Disease. Had the corn sweet pork tacos with the sauce and the pinanple tiki. Both were excellent and fresh. Nice staff and knowledgeable. Chill atmosphere, would highly recommend as it's hard to find GF options around here unless you want Tai.

They seemed pretty serious and knowledgeable. I was initially a bit concerned because it is a small, casual place but things went fine. Check your order before you leave (initially did not get a couple of items) but that is not a gluten thing.

I have Celiac and really watch what I eat. I had corn tortilla tacos and they were very good I even went back again before we left the area. They are nice about allergies. I felt good each time we went there. I normally have a reaction quickly if I have been glutened. also add the pineapple drink it's delish!

Coming to Oahu I wanted to be sure to indulge in the vast amount of fresh fish and their great food trucks. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I ordered the fish tacos and drizzled on some of their homemade hot sauce on top. I would eat there everyday if I could!

I ordered 2 corn tortilla tacos and specified that I am gluten free. They gave me one flour and one corn. The food was really really good and even though I didn't eat the flour taco, I am having a bad reaction. The mix up should have been my clue that cross-contamination was a concern.
