I was a little nervous eating here, but thankfully did not get sick. They do not have a gluten free menu. The tortilla chips are not safe since they are fried in a shared fryer with gluten items. I got 3 tacos, all were really good. They hand make their corn tortillas in house.

I would use caution eating here if you are celiac. The waitress was able to walk me through the menu and explain to me what was gluten free, but when I explained I had a severe gluten allergy and cross contact was an issue, she had some pause. Again, did not get sick, but just explain your needs really well.

Holy wow the food here was was yummyyy!! I got the Tinga De Pollo tacos and they were so good I ordered another before we left. Chips & salsa were a tasty nibble while we waited for our food. I also have to avoid corn syrup so the waitress made me fresh squeezed lemonade which was amazing!! This will definitely be one of our go-tos every time we're in the DC area!!

Food is good. Menu clearly marked. Didn’t get sick. Personally I prefer the food & drinks at Taqueria Al lado but I did feel safe eating here so I would go back.

Nearly everything on the menu is gluten free and the food is great. Queso fundido is excellent and thank goodness the tortilla chips are also GF. I’ve been going here for years and have never had any problems with gluten.

Great tacos! The waiter said everything on the menu is gf with the exception of the quesadilla! You can also eat the tortilla chips wooo! I asked if the chef could change their gloves before handling my order, but when the food came out, another waiter didn’t really say anything about my food being the “gluten allergy” order. Nonetheless, I had a good experience!

Lots of GF options on their menu. I’ve tried most of their tacos and all have been phenomenal. Never had any issues.

About 75% of the menu is labeled gluten free

Fabulous guacamole and tacos. Their frier is dedicated gluten free.
