My friends never seen me eat so much To come home with a full belly and no sickness grateful

Note: ask that your tacos come on the tostada no the flour shell.

This place has a chart on their website showing allergens — it’s the most detailed chart I remember seeing. They were happy to remove dairy from my tacos, which were yummy. The “chips” they provided with the guacamole were tostadas. Tasted good and no reaction afterwards. I also had the tajin pineapple—no problems there either. My only complaint was that there weren’t more vegetarian taco options.

This place is great! According to our waiter, almost all of their menu can be gluten free, minus desserts and kid quesadillas. He indicated they have a separate fryer for gf items. I ordered the chips and guac and four of the little tacos, and they were delicious! My fave was the glazed pork belly. Service was very good too even though they were busy.

First time ever eating there i was a bit worried because the place was very busy and it took an hour to be seated. You order on your phone which also caused me to stress but most of the menu is gluten free and there is a part in ordering process where u can say your allergies. Also can ask workers personally to tell the chefs. Not the best taco i have ever had but the atmosphere makes up for it. Did not get sick and felt good after.

Soo good that we ended up eating here twice while we were in town. Highlights were the fish tacos, pork belly tacos, street corn, margaritas, and chips and guacamole. The staff was so friendly! We wished we lived closer because this would definitely be our go to place!

Delicious and unique tacos. I have a gluten and dairy allergy and they were very aware of options. Almost everything is gluten free and most can be modified for dairy free. Tacos are small so I tried 4 different tacos: tuna, duck, mushroom, and chicken.

I’ve eaten here a few times and haven’t had a reaction. While I know some people don’t like the ordering process, I do really like that I can specify “celiac / gluten allergy” for each item I order. I believe there are only a very few number of items on their menu that have gluten (all of the desserts unfortunately). Can’t wait to go back.

Update: eat here all the time, have never gotten sick! Just be sure you specify “gluten allergy” with each item you order. They will let you know if there is an issue. Staff has been consistently knowledgeable if I ever need to clarify something. It’s my favorite casual place to go with my small kids or with friends. So yummy!

100% Gluten Free Safe!!! The food was incredible and the staff were all trained and hyper sensitive to ALL food allergies. Food was street taco like, drinks were awesome-great spice, and atmosphere made you feel like you were on a beach in a warm piece of paradise. Every single staff person was super kind and helpful especially Meg the manager. My only question was, “When can I get back here next!”

99% of the dinner menu is GF. Only 2 things on the dinner menu aren’t but they’re made in a separate space. The menu lists every allergen per dish. No waiter but if you let the person that seats you know you have an allergy, they’ll give you the run down. The Tacos and guacamole smack.
