Rusty Taco

We have been here a few times. A few months ago we called to place a to go order and we were told they were too busy to accommodate the allergen preparations. We stopped by again last week and were pleasantly surprised by the managers response this time. He told us no matter how busy they are they will take the time. He personally oversaw our food and even came to the table to advise one of the toppings he was not confident was gf and asked if I wanted it on the side or subbed. I skipped it but was so happy he was transparent about the situation.

The chips are not safe but all three salsas are. They have the salsa in little “to go” style containers in a little fridge.

Went in on a Friday night and it wasn’t too packed. Went straight to the counter to order and the employee had no idea what was gluten free or not and had no clue of cross contamination procedures. Made me a little worried. Then he still gave me tacos in four tortillas. I was blown away by his lack of knowledge and care. The nachos were on par with bar food. Nothing special here.

Before a road trip my mom grabbed this for us, the second she said gf to the worker they explained what was gf, how their fryers are dedicated gluten free, they change their gloves for gf orders, and lots of other protocols. Needless to say felt very safe with eating it and it was delicious!

Good food! The worker wasn’t very knowledgeable but I felt comfortable eating here due to the allergens marked on their website. The cashier didn’t know what was gluten free. It tasted like a glorified chipotle but I’d eat here again.

Most of the tacos are corn tortilla but are cooked on the same surface as flour tortillas. If you ask they will cook them separately but it takes longer. Fryer is not dedicated so chips are not celiac friendly.

Staff was on top of it. Clearly communicated my celiac-related gluten sensitivity to the food preparers, packaged the items separately and marked them. All with a friendly smile. Plus great food - we’ll absolutely be back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free tacos are marked. Fried items are fried in cross contaminated frier. Cashier said they had a gluten free frier once but a manager came over immediately and said it really wasn’t safe and gluten items are still fried in it. Have eaten here a couple times and haven’t gotten sick.

Margs are gluten-free. I eat the chips and queso there but I don’t think they are that careful about cross-contamination, I wouldn’t trust the tacos or other food there

Excellent Fish Taco! Manager came out and double checked my order to make sure all ingredients were gf and cooked up everything in a separate pan.

Had the breakfast tacos. No symptoms but was concerned about cross contamination there’s one open griddle to make all food. Open kitchen so you can see the process. Would recommend asking cook to change gloves.

This is right next to ASU’s campus. Fun ambiance. Good outdoor patio/bar space. Large TVs with sports on. Came here on a Saturday afternoon during a college football game. It wasn’t very busy so keep that in mind as the service I got may differ if it were slammed. Ordered at the bar and the bartender was friendly and helpful. He for out the allergy chart to confirm correct information. All tacos except the ones with fried meat can be made GF on corn tortillas. After I ordered the bartender went to the kitchen to tell them to be sure to clean the grill, change gloves, etc. When they brought the food out they said they put it in a separate pan so it shouldn’t have touched anything. Had the Green Street and Rusty tacos (both pork). They were delicious. They have breakfast tacos served all day. Also had a prickly pear margarita on the rocks. Didn’t get sick. Would eat here again.
