Blue Coast Burrito

Was super excited to try this for lunch, sadly after a few bites I got very sick. The people there were unsure what was gluten free

Not safe at all. I asked for tacos and the server grabbed flour tortillas, so I corrected her and said it was an allergy. Without changing her gloves she grabbed the corn tortillas and put them down right where the flour ones had been on the counter. One of the corn tortillas overlapped with a flour tortilla from another person’s order. Needless to say, my non-GF hubby got double the dinner.

A favorite for me (Celiac) and my friends! They have delicious pineapple salsa and fruit tea. Yum! Almost their entire menu is gf except the flour tortillas and fish tacos (fried fish). Servers will change gloves upon request. There is usually a decent line to order your food, but it is worth the wait for fresh and delicious food!

When I let the servers know my daughter had celiac, they changed gloves and they got all her nacho toppings from new containers under the buffet so there was no chance of cross contamination. She is sensitive and has obvious reactions when glutened, but she had no trouble after eating here. We’ll be back!

The Cabo bowls are great for those of us with Celiac! Never gotten sick here and I have been here several times!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Employee immediately took off her gloves and washed her hands thoroughly when I said it must be Gluten Free! She also opened new bags of cheese and Pico for my bowl! It was fantastic and I didn't get sick. Highly recommended!!

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious and very friendly and knowledgable. They washed their hands and got ingredients from separate containers to avoid cross contamination. My burrito salad was overflowing so tasty! Definitely coming back! ..... Follow up: that evening I was hunched over in pain. Unfortunately there was cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

Sooo good!! They didn't have a separate gluten free menu. I had tacos and nachos. This place is set up similarly to chipotle. It was very very good! Definitely not celiac friendly but great for those with gluten intolerances.

Celiac friendly?

No

Definitely a go to. Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Stay away from the chips as cross contamination does occur. Otherwise they change their gloves and gets food from fridge that hasn’t been touched by contaminated utensils.

Went there a few months ago to get dinner. I observed the employee that assembled the woman's order in front of me. She ordered some kind of wrap because she grabbed a flour tortilla. As she went down the line, she requested rice on it. However, instead of the employee using the ladle that was already in the rice, she proceed to go in with gloved hands that had touched the flour tortilla, to grab the rice instead. I immediately walked out and left. If you have Celiac (which I do), I would not risk it. Too much cross-contamination.

They're great about getting toppings from underneath and changing gloves. Sad to no longer enjoy the fried fish tacos but love that I can still eat here-its cheap, quick and an easy place to dine with others.

This particular location of Blue Coast is great about gluten free. This location (and as far as I know, only this location) even has a dedicated fryer for gluten-free chips. They will pull what you want from underneath the counter rather than risking the regular line if you specify gluten-free. They also change gloves and everything. I always ask for mine in a to-go box so I don’t risk commonly used plates and such. But I will say some people at this location even start switching gloves when they see me walk in the door 😂

I eat there so often and never have an issue. I know it used to be not as safe, but managers changed and now I never have a problem. They change gloves, wash hands, get new utensils, make sure those utensils don’t touch the other ones, etc. Honestly they’re pretty much the only place in cookeville that I 100% trust other than P Dilly’s. Even the newer people will go find someone to ask if I tell them I have a gluten allergy (which I say even though I’m celiac).
