Very knowledgeable with gluten free questions. And food was delicious.
I've been to this location many times, and had not had problems. I usually order online and pickup in the early afternoon. This last time I came later in the day. The first worker washed hands and changed gloves, but the second did not. The line did seem a bit messy, which always makes me nervous, but I wrongly assumed it would be fine since nearly all of their food is gluten free.
This time I got the baja bowl. Not sure exactly what caused it but I got glutened bad. Worst pain I've had since going off gluten. 😞 It's the only thing I ate that day and I started getting sick within half an hour of eating so I'm certain it was this.

From their allergen list: We have worked diligently to remove wheat gluten from all our sauces, dressings, and proteins. Natural glutens remain only in our flour and wheat tortillas and in two desserts--tres leches and key lime pie. This means that we offer "oceans of gluten-free options" in our menu. All of these items are gluten-free: all enchiladas, all tacos, all salads (without the flour or wheat tortilla), all nachos, and our chicken tortilla so up...which uses corn strips.
Worker changed their gloves AND I think they washed their hands. Corn tortilla, grilled chicken. Was pretty good! Value wise it’s better to just get a salad and make your own tacos honestly. You get more value for the cost.

This is one of the costa vida locations I do trust. I’ve gotten glutened at the several locations (including Riverdale) but I’ve never had a problem at this location. The owners of this location have celiacs in the family and I feel like they actually do get it. They always wash hands. Both my friend & I got sick from the Riverdale location two years ago so this is one of the few I go to .

The Costa Vida on Riverdale Rd is way better. If you tell them you are gluten free, they always re-glove and wash their hands, not at this location. They do have gluten free choices, but don't care about cross contamination or really understand what gluten free means. So if you are real sensitive, don't eat here. Go to the one on Riverdale, they understand the difference.

Great selection. Inform server if you have celiac. We frequently stop here

Staff was kind and knowledgeable. Changed gloves and washed their hands without being told. They also let us “tweak” the side of chips to have melted cheese instead of having to order a huge order of nachos for a child.

Server immediately changed gloves and washed hands when I mentioned a gluten allergy, in addition, he pulled my tray from the back and used the serving counter in the back to prevent cc, and walked my tray himself through the rest of line, communicating with other team members that he had an allergy order. Very impressed with how he handled everything! Everything is gf except for the flour tortillas.
