Review of SoKno Taco Cantina

I am going to say no to this place despite bing here several times and despite it wanting it to work because - well, there is no GF safe Mexican food in Knoxville that I know of. 1) this is another sad example of "Gluten-washing" (If you've heard of the term greenwashing, well, this is the gluten-free version, I just made that term up!). Another establishment where I've spoken to multiple different staff members, to be told 'yes' to being able to prepare my food with safe cross contamination measures, then to be told by an additional staff member that this was NOT possible. finally a forth staff member, a crabby manager, came out and told me they would make an exception, and do my fish without seasoning in foil, off the menu, despite the fish tacos being advertised as GF on the menu. (Cross contamination) 2) the service is horrible. been in here more than once where we were not served maybe til an hour later, big mistake to go here when hungry. 3)it was so obnoxiously loud that I could not hear my partner talk or enjoy my food when it finally came out. 4) just learned it failed its health inspection! Hard pass.
