Decent tacos. Just wish they warned us EVERYTHING was spicy or ask us what level we prefer….
Review
I had the rotisserie chicken taco. I let them know I can't have gluten or dairy. They advised they couldn't guarantee zero cross contamination, but they would do their best to make safe food. They all changed gloves and put all the GF DF toppings on the side. The taco was good and I didn't get sick!

Items are marked GF. Chips are fried in the same oil as other gluten ingredients but tacos were good!

Review
They have gf items marked and an asterisk about risks on menu. Chips are same fryer as tater tots. When ordering they pulled out a binder to verify ingredients were safe and kitchen manager was nearby and I requested they changed gloves and do their best to reduce cross contact and he was happy to do it- no problem. On ticket it said gluten free and to change gloves. I got the rotisserie chicken taco and no reaction. Giving 4 stars bc not a whole lot of options and I assume kitchen has no dedicated space.
