Barbacoa

Great food. Burrito bowls are excellent. I love the nachos.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is my go-to place when not feeling up to cooking my own. They change gloves for me [happily]. They do have flour tortillas, but are trained not to cross contaminate. The nachos and soup are great. I usually get chicken or sweet pork [which is really sweet], the spicy pork is just a little too spicy for my wussiness. No extra charge for sour cream and guac. Lots of food for the money and rarely anyone in line ahead of me. Honestly surprised they don't get a lot more business.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have never been sick from this place. All of there food is gluten free except for the four tortillas. you can ask for them to change their gloves in case they have touched the tortillas. super friendly! I go here all the time.

We ordered two burrito bowls (one mango chicken, one steak), the queso and chips and two tacos (one honey sweet pork, one chicken).

It was prepared quickly which is the best thing I can say about Barbacoa.

I asked for no beans and there were a couple beans in my bowl which raises cross-contamination concerns. It tasted like real food, not processed prepackaged junk, except for the queso, which according to their website is a blend of three cheeses with salsa and fresh tomatoes. In reality is was a gritty cheese-like substance with no flavor and a weird texture and definitely didn't have salsa or fresh tomatoes in it.

The honey pork was crazy sweet, the steak was dry and had a strangely fishy flavor, the mango chicken was the consistency of cheap canned tuna, mushy and flavorless. The salads were small for the price and each one had a good 1/4 cup of watery liquid in the bottom. In a word, it was gross.

We ate roughly half the food and regretted it all night. I don't know if we were glutened but we certainly got sick. We won't be going back.



Note: Be forewarned that the Chipotle Ranch Dressing is VERY spicy and your only other option is Cilantro Lime Dressing so if you don't like cilantro you're out of luck.

Celiac friendly?

No

Good food. Just say gluten free, and they're very careful. Rice bowls are great!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I always get the burrito soup and it seems to work well for me. Most things on the menu are naturally gluten free, except flour tortillas of course.

When I mentioned my food allergy they changed gloves. Did not get sick, and I am very sensitive to cross contamination. Would definitely eat here again.

I love this place! This barbacoa location is the best one. The only item they have that contains gluten are the flour tortillas. They are really good about cross contamination, and they are very polite when you mention it!
