A relative of mine works at this location. He explained that if someone tells him they have an allergy they will wipe down surfaces and make your food on the back line with fresh gloves, etc. He also said they are very glad to do this for customers! No eye rolls here. Plus the food is yummy and affordable. :)
Yes
Great fast food option. They clearly label all the items on the menu. I like the crunchy chicken tacos. This is pretty cheap as well. Not sure about the fryer but I get the corn chowder which is gf instead of the tots.
Yes
This place has amazing Mexican. There are small squares that say GF on it in the corner of each food on the menu. If you tell them you are GF they will put on new gloves and wipe down there work space. Not all taco times are but I know the ones in Washington State are.
G R O S S owner of this Franchise location hires the filthiest of people. They don't wear hair nets on long hair or beards, ewwwww. I seen one guy stroking his beard while preparing food, with no gloves. One persons apron had dried up layers of old food stains, and he kept sniffling his nose to stop the mucous from running out. Another kept scratching his head while taking orders, then looking into the bags dumping all his head lice onto the food. If they wear gloves, they keep the same gloves on throughout the day, touching everything, then putting on the food. Don't trust they are not spitting on the food or snorting bugars on your tater tots. One former employee told me they all take turns hockin' loogies into the chicken chili soup, when they're pissed of at the Manager, which is everyday. Don't get food at this place, you'll get food poisoning from all the bacteria. I wouldn't doubt there's fecal matter in the refried beans.

The cashier was familiar with gluten allergies. He informed us that they use a shared fryer for both wheat and corn tortillas and suggested I stick with the Baja tacos since they are not fried. Gluten friendly items are clearly marked on the menu board.

Why did people here saying that it's celiac safe? I saw the review and walked into the restaurant and asked them if they have separate fryer for celiac safe, the guy told us that they're NOT celiac friendly. I did brought NEMA tester and the staff said that there's no need to test it because it is CROSSED CONTAMINATED and will not pass my NEMA test. However, they do have gluten free menus but it's crossed contaminate. They told us DON'T EAT HERE if we have CELIAC DISEASE. So we left. I would give 5 star for the staff and the excellent customer service.

This place is fantastic! I rarely trust fast food but this place is different. They have a dedicated prep area as well as frier for Tacos. All western Washington Taco times have a dedicated frier. The owner himself came out and talked to us about their safety protocols and thanked us for supporting his small business. Would go there any time!
