We eat here quite a bit since it’s close to our home. They know us by sight and immediately start the protocols for safe handling of gluten free. I have never been sick from this location. Great service, great knowledge, and great food.

I eat at this Costa Vida every week. They always change their gloves for me. I have never gotten sick, the food is great, and it is my "go to" place.
Celiac friendly?
Yes
Notes
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.

Good selection of gluten free Mexican. Potential of cross contamination though.

I talked with the workers and they asked the manager but that didn’t help because I still got cross contaminated. I ordered a salad with some of their sides, black beans, chicken, and salsa. They have too much gluten in the store or too much flour must be everywhere or they season with gluten products or something. Anyway, stay away if you are sensitive!

A lot of choices for gluten free food. I told them I was gluten free and the manager washed his hands and changed gloves. I had a salad and they put corn tortillas at the bottom instead of flour. I was able to put a lot in my dish and was very happy.

Food is great and the staff is well trained in gluten free. Every time I've told them I'm gluten free they have changed gloves before doing my order and I've never had any issues.

Everything is gluten-free except for the flour tortillas. And they substitute those with corn tortillas and use a separate grill to warm them up. The food is excellent! My favorite was the shrimp tacos.

All I had to do was say that I couldn’t have gluten cross contamination and the staff immediately changed their gloves and washed their hands. Without me needing to ask, they grabbed some food from the back for me that hadn’t been touched yet. The staff was very well educated and super nice about it all! Everything except for the tortillas and a few desserts are gf.
