A few good taco options in a pinch. Chips are marked gf but are fried with gluten containing items. The manager can tell you what is safe and what isn't.

Super cheap, delicious & most important - they actually know what gluten is and take great efforts to make sure there is no cross contamination.

Delicious tacos! If you get the tacos with fish, ask them to not flour the fish before they cook it and that will make it gluten free. Their chips are gluten free, but not all of their salsas. The guy who took our order was very knowledgeable about what was and wasn't gluten free.

Horrible gf options. All of their chicken and beef is braised with beer. I got sick after eating here because the waiter said the chicken was gf. Called back the next day to find out it was not.

Delicious tacos! Eaten here several times with other celiacs and no one’s gotten sick. They have a separate “gluten conscious” menu.

We attended the soft opening (it officially opens in just a few days on May 15, 2024). They confirmed they have a dedicated gluten free fryer for the chips. We've had luck at other locations with their gluten sensitive menu (avoiding chips at locations that don't have a dedicated fryer) and this one was just the same. They did mention that the potatoes recently changed to hashbrown style and those are not fried in the dedicated fryer, so just be aware of that potential if they don't switch back to diced potatoes.

The app has a lot more diet and allergen information and clear options than ordering in person. Even if you're eating there, you could review it ahead or grab a table and order on your phone, especially if you're avoiding dairy and soy. Those are much harder to identify on the in-store menu.

I got the airstream salad and it was good. There is a risk of cross contamination since it’s a shared kitchen but I didn’t get sick.

Great tacos and guac.! Pork taco on corn tortillas. Delicious! I made a huge mistake and ate the chips without thinking, ( Fried in same oil). But they change out the oil nightly and since we went early for lunch I did not get sick. Yay!!!
