Thought it would be safe because the sign says everything is gluten free except flour tortillas but after telling them I couldn’t have gluten they said everything has a little gluten in it because they cook the flour tortillas on the grill and don’t change gloves when dealing with different ingredients so if you have Celiac or are super sensitive don’t eat here!

Staff was confident they could make two plain chicken tacos GF for my kid. I watched the whole process closely from behind the counter- and they gave it a go- but made too many mistakes. Cleaned the grill quickly and thought that was enough to warm corn shells, changed gloves once but then handled a dirty wipe rag near the contaminated prep area. Bottom line- would not risk it. The food may be good but we will never know.

not a ton of gf options. the chips are not safe as they are fried in the same fryer as the fish which is battered. I was able to get 2 pollo asado tacos which they heated up in a pan for me instead of the griddle. salsas are safe too.

Chips are fried in a seperate fryer and just about everything is gluten free except the flour tortillas. I got the soft corn chicken tacos with chips and guacamole. This place is the bomb.com!!!!

Most of the items are naturally GF, and corn tortillas can be requested instead of wheat for things like quesadilla. Staff were happy to advise what was GF and what was not. Nachos were yummy.
