Went in and their sign says they have gluten-free options however it’s all made in the same kitchen and it also said a high risk of contamination. Do not recommend this place

Most everything here is gluten free. The menu is labeled to show you what is and what isn't. One thing to note, the corn tortillas are not safe for fellow Celiac's. They share the tortilla warmer so there is some cross contamination.

Staff had no idea about what was gluten free and couldn’t answer any of my questions. Ended up leaving because I couldn’t trust it was safe to eat there!

I had tried red robin near by and they messed up my order and weren't very friendly about it. So I tried a couple other places that said no to GF and then going this gem. They were very clear about what was GF and what might have a cross contamination. I was very hangry and they quickly helped me with my options and the burrito bowl was delicious!!!

Went to Chronic Tacos because they have a cross grain symbol on several dishes on their menu, e.g tacos. However, they heat the corn tacos at the same “toaster” as wheat tortillas, fry “gluten free” tacos in same oil as gluten containing items, and touch/handle gluten containing food while preparing “gluten free” food. Huge risk of cross contamination. When I tried to explain and ask about it, they didn’t seem to understand. I decided not to take the risk and didn’t eat there. So unfortunately, the “cross grain” symbol at Chronic Tacos does not mean gluten free.

We absolutely loved the tacos, plates, and salads. All of the meats and mahi-mahi were fresh and juicy, and the toppings were fabulous, as well as all of the sauces. Great staff, too! Very personable, professional, and helpful. The tortilla strips for on top of the salad are not gluten free, fyi, but the corn tortillas are gf! Sitting outside at their tables was a great bonus.

This place is cross contamination city. I asked the guy behind the counter, I’m gluten free, what’s safest for me to have? He says, I have no idea. The corn tortillas go into the same warmer the flour does, same spoons are used in everything and I’m seriously questing the frys if they are not cross contaminated.
