Used to eat the tocaya chain 3-4x a week and they were great with preventing cross contamination. Kept getting sick because the corn tortillas started getting prepared on the same surface as the flour tortillas for the burritos. Now it seems like a cross contamination nightmare. When they’re making the burritos they use the same spoons to place the items on the tortilla which touch the flour tortilla then goes back into the food. For a fad dieter this may be ok but for a celiac it’s unacceptable. I’d stay clear if you’re very sensitive!

Great GF and dairy free experience. Had a quesadilla with vegan cheese, chicken and mushrooms- and amazing churro bites with sauce. So good!

Ate here and it was delicious, and I had no issues.

We had a variety of tacos (really recommend the fried mushroom and the fried mahi mahi), and the quesadillas. The churro bites were also great for dessert.

We didn’t have the bowls, so I can’t say whether they are a safe option.

The one comment I’d make is service was very very slow, so if you’re in a rush this isn’t the place to go to. Apart from that we had a very positive experience.
