California Tortilla

Good food. They don’t have a dedicated GF menu or their GF items marked. Most of their menu is GF, but the risk for cross contamination seemed pretty high. The gluten containing sauce was at the back and I saw drips of it in the other sauces. And with it being all open, subway style, the risk of utensils touching the flour tortillas before serving you is pretty high also.

A+++!!! This restaurant was super good! Almost the whole menu was GF. Fried Fish, Shrimp, and Chicken were GF. I had a Shrimp bowl make-your-own. It was simply delicious and very tasty. I had the Chips and Pico which was good. The chips were very tender and the pico was not too spicy. The manager Charlie was so sweet and accommodating. He made sure to help me get what was gf. He even showed me the ingredients menu. I would go here again and again!!! I’m sad they don’t have California Tortilla near me.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This was a very delicious refreshing stop in my trip to Chattanooga. The manager, Charlie, was very helpful and knowledgeable on what I could eat. I ate created my Bangkok Shrimp bowl complete with mango salsa and fresh chips. Most of the menu was gluten free. My party of 6 enjoyed our gluten free dinner with no fuss. 😀 price was reasonable

I’ve eaten here a number of times and haven’t had any problems… but yesterday was astoundingly awful. I ordered a bowl, mentioned my dairy and gluten allergies, and waited a while. I was delivered a burrito in a flour tortilla, and then brought up that I’d ordered a bowl and had a gluten allergy. The guy at the counter proceeded to begin tearing apart the burrito to dump it into a bowl. I was so dumbfounded I asked if that was what he was doing and he confirmed that it was. 😬 I clarified that that would make me quite sick, and the whole thing needed to be remade. If I hadn’t seen that myself, I would have presumed it to be safe to eat. Never again.

Lots of gluten free options here, and everything is marked. You can choose from menu options or create your own. We opted to create our own burrito bowls. The ingredients were fresh and delicious!
