Super friendly and knowledgeable about gf, labelled menu. Only thing they make that contains gluten is the pita, so the fryer is safe. Had the falafel plate and as a reactive celiac it was safe. Great outdoor picnic area too.

Yeah this place was a dang treat! If you stand outside the truck for 2 seconds, someone will lean out the window and offer you a free falafel to try. And it worked! We were gushing over how good it was and ordering more. Confirmed all was gf but the pita. Went back the next day to get more falafel to take home for dinner - got the gf platter with delicious hummus as well, and like, 9 falafels! It was a meal!

Knowledgeable staff and fantastic food! We just happened upon this truck and decided the best fries we have had in sometime. The falafel was very good.

We had the falafel platter and a side of fries! Very tasty! Everything except the pita is GF, and they changed their gloves and utensils when making our food.

Review
Charming authentic Mediterranean falafel shakshuka, and eggplant. Entire menu is gluten-free with the exception of pita which can be deleted, owners very conscious about Celiac disease and will do glove changes to eliminate any cross contamination.
