In the Cosmo, super delicious and vibey. Separate allergen menu they will bring out when asked, it’s marked for all common allergies from gluten to dairy to sellfish - that’s how detailed. It’s Chinese and Mexican side by side menu rather than fusion. Celiac safe items are the Mexican ones. Tacos are amazing! Would definitely go back.
Great place, clear menu when you ask for it.
There is a good selection of gf options here and a menu that identifies them. I got the quesobirria tacos, which were very good. This is a nice option that seemed more affordable than a lot of other places around

Waiter was knowledgeable about celiac and cross contamination. They had shared fryers but plenty of options and allergens labeled on menu. We got the nopales and chicken tacos and they were tasty!
Fabulous! Large GF, DF menu! Very knowledgeable about GF. Must try the freshly made corn tortillas and guacamole. Margaritas were great too! Will definitely be back
Wow - my three tacos sure packed a punch and were absolutely delicious! I needed a safe dinner spot that wouldn’t take forever or cost the price of one of my kidneys, and this place hit the spot!
Located at cosmopolitan in food court area. Near OPM show. Upon entering for table they ask if there are any dietary needs, then gave me a menu where allergens were marked. Anything w a G is gluten free and cross contact free! No noodle options but the birria quesadilla and taco was amazing.
As with other José Andrés restaurants, the staff knows how to handle gluten issues. They have a separate menu with allergies marked. I got two vegetarian dishes and both were fresh and fab: young coconut ceviche and watermelon salad. Also got the classic salt air margarita, which I recommend at any of JA's places!
Lots of Gf offerings Knowledgeable staff Tasty food! No reaction, I am celiac
Felt safe, very comfortable. He mentioned where everything was cooked and wait chips I can’t eat which most Mexican places do not. Great service and separate menu.
The menu is actually quite restrictive and is essentially only a Mexican restaurant as almost none of the Chinese meals are gluten free. I had the esquites and shrimp which was just ok.
I wasn't impressed at all. When I made the reservation online their system asked about allergies, but then when we got there our waiter had no clue. The gluten free menu in person was much more restrictive than online, so only a few tacos were gluten free. When I ordered I was careful to let the waiter know I was celiac and that it should be noted an allergy order. But when the food arrived, my gf taco was on the same plate as my husband's non-gf pork taco. I didn't get sick but it was otherwise a dismal experience.
Great food and most gluten free. Watch out for when they cook the chips due to cross oil contamination…might be a problem but wasn’t the day I went.
Had the gluten free chicken fried rice. Was delicious!!
Was amazed at how great the take out chicken tacos were. There are 0 flour tortillas in this restaurant! The guy taking my order asked how sensitive and if cross contamination was an issue then offered suggestions.... blown away! Freshly made corn tortillas!! Will go back!
Ordered to go and the worker was very helpful letting me know what would work for GF and DF. They have an allergen menu and ended up getting three pollo a la parilla tacos.
I had indicated on my reservation notes that I was gluten-free, and the server inquired whether it was a preference or an allergy/disease that warranted cross-contamination avoidance, in which case he would alert the kitchen and let me know not to order any fried items. The Young Coconut Ceviche was delightful (and I'm not even a fan of coconut, but the marinade made it into a wonderful ceviche), the Pollo a la Parilla chicken taco was very tasty, and the shrimp dish Camarones al Mojo de Ajo Negro was extraordinary and I ate every single bite of it. My husband had Chinese dishes and they were also delicious. During the meal we enjoyed several different cocktails and margaritas, each of which were great. We ended the meal with the chef's cool reinterpretation of Mango Sticky Rice. This was our second visit, and we will definitely be returning again.
Somewhat celiac friendly. The server said the tortilla chips weren’t GF/cross contaminated. Glad I didn’t eat them but seems like something that could easily be GF. Meal was just ok. I think there are many better options in the area.
Turned up at 9.30pm and the restaurant was closed.
Definitely not celiac safe! Told us they only have a shared dryer after they brought out our food!
Excellent fusion restaurant. They went out of their way to accommodate my Celiac requirements. Wonderful food, drinks, and service. No GF desserts avsilable.
Loved this spot! The menu was very clear as to what options were GF. The server noticed I had an allergy menu and immediately inquired what my allergy was. He acknowledged my request and was helpful to ensure everything was perfect!
Food was overpriced and small portions. Not a great place to take kids. There idea of tacos are super spicy and have duck tongue and other weird flavors. Not your normal Mexican or Asian fare. Guacamole alone costs $16, FYI.
The food was great, and they were able to accommodate my diet restrictions (gluten/celiac, egg, dairy and soy). I had delicious chicken tacos on handmade corn tortillas. I would definitely go back.
They will print out a gluten free menu which makes it super easy to order. Plenty of options on there, I tried two different tacos both were amazing! Favorite was the pescada (fish) taco.
Always appreciate a gluten free menu! Very tasty food. Be aware that the fries are contaminated in the fryer, they are listed on the gfree menu, but there is an asterisk alerting (I didn't notice this until after i ordered, but our server was very understanding and accommodating and was able to cancel the order)
The food was good but most of the gf options are Mexican. They have a shared fryer so the chips are not good for a celiac.
The food was excellent and so was the service. We ordered soup and tacos and were very pleased. A word of caution, and why I didn't rate it 5 stars, the gluten free menu contains items fried in the same oil of gluten-containing items and those with soy sauce which unless you request to have gluten free soy sauce is not gluten free per the disclaimer on the menu and from the waiter. The waiter walked me through what was actually safe but be sure to ask. It could be misleading.
Eaten here several times and always a great experience with wait staff and chefs that pay attention to gluten free. And the salt air margaritas are just about the best drink ever. Last trip was above and beyond. They dropped chips and salsa at our table for some reason, I was smart enough to know chips where not gluten free and did not have any, server was then rushing over to our table to tell me it was a mistake, and yes, the chips were not gluten free, he did a "whew!" when I said yes, I assumed that. Special was actually an Asian dish that the waiter said could be prepared GF, I did not order but my husband did, and they actually prepared it for him GF in case I wanted to try. Very, very nice touch since it is a rare thing we can share a plate.
We had chips & salsa, two tacos and the shrimp mojo - all very delicious. We were a little disappointed that most of the gluten free options were very Poblano and less Chinese. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about gluten free dining.
