TAVOS HOURS: WEDNESDAY-SATURDAY 11AM-10PM

On safety—TAVOS has a dedicated kitchen space and utensils for gluten-free items and a dedicated gluten-free fryer. We use separate utensils to stir gluten-free and gluten-containing foods that are made at the same time. We avoid wooden utensils, cutting boards, and rolling pins that have been used with gluten. Gloves are changed to prepare GF items to prevent cross contamination. All items are thoroughly washed before next use. Food items are listed on our orders as gluten free and our waiters/waitresses are very knowledgeable regarding menu items.

Service was a bit slow, but the waiter was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. Almost everything they make is gluten free, and the fryers are dedicated. Additionally the house manager (I believe) is Celiac and ensures the staff knows about cross contamination.

Finally, a good Mexican spot in Rochester 🙌🏼 and most of the menu is gluten free or can be made gluten free! The enchiladas, ceviche and queso fundido were delicious. Chips however are fried with other items so not safe. I got the guac with soft corn tortillas though!
