This place doesn’t have a clue. I asked about gf items before ordering and was met with a blank stare. Asked someone else, she decided to get the manager. The manager went in the back to get the allergen list. At that point, I left. Didn’t order. It was just too risky.

Good food but servers have no sensitivity to cross contamination. Also, they got rid of the soft corn tortillas! Only choice is crispy and possibly cross contaminated on their allergens list.

The person helping me was completely unaware of what a gluten allergy was. Had to get the manager. The manager had no idea where their gluten free menu was. The lady taking my order was asked to change her gloves several times but touched the inside of my bowl before she changed her gloves. Not completely unhappy but I think they need more training on all allergies.

Terrible service and I think I was exposed. Milk is surprisingly in almost everything, like most of the meat seasonings. I will not be back to this location, probably not other locations either.

Except for the Barbeque Sauce, brownies and potatoes, it's all safe.

Enjoyed a delicious and safe bowl! The staff changed their gloves, and I used the online ingredients to know what was safe - Guac and queso were so good and portions were a good size!

I stopped here before my flight and felt safe. I asked what items had gluten and they confirmed only the tortillas, chips, and brownies. I made a bowl and they grabbed fresh rice for me to help avoid cross contamination.

I mentioned I was gluten free, the gal helping me asked if I would like her to change her gloves. I said yes please. She also grabbed multiple little cups to scoop the items I selected for my bowl. They told me the seasonings on the meat selections were gluten free but the chips and tortillas were not cause they were fried in the same oil as other things. They were very understanding and helpful. And the gal even put the little cups in a different area for each item that hadn’t had anything scooped out of it so I would be safer to avoid cross contamination. Happy with their knowledge.

Everything seems to be gluten free except for the our tortillas. I always order a bowl. I have eaten here 15+ times and have never had a bad experience.
