The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about safe GF protocols! They changed gloves, washed hands and made my daughter’s tacos on foil to avoid cross contamination on the grill
They are safe with your order and change gloves, BUT, don’t order anything with cheese or lettuce because they use their hands to add item. Even if the gloves are changed for your order they already cross contaminated from previous orders.
I love this place! I like to get either the chicken nachos or the Baja chicken bowl. There is a nutrition calculator to make sure you are eating gluten free items. The staff are accommodating and knowledgeable. I have never gotten sick here.
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.

I love around the corner and this is my new "fast eats". Sweet pork tacos on corn tortillas are great! I just make a note on order celiac gluten allergy. Son and I are both celiac.
Really yummy food and the staff was friendly and accommodating! Be sure to let them know you have an intolerance or celiac (I always say I have an allergy because people seem to take that most seriously). Staff changed gloves and offered to change utensils. Will definitely go back!
We have been here a dozen times already. Be clear that you can’t have cross contamination. They will change gloves, and we have never had issues.
They have amazing food and we loved it! They can make everything on their menu GF except some desserts. Staff is very helpful. Definitely recommend!

Has the nachos with chicken, black beans and cheddar cheese with queso on the side. I have had costa vida in SLC many times but this location was great too. Changed thier gloves when I said I was gluten free and did not have a reaction.
It was wonderful! The older Hispanic gentleman took the time and initiative to wash his hands and change his gloves as soon as I mentioned that I would be ordering a gluten free meal! I didn’t even have to ask!
Good knowledge of cross contamination. All the ingredients are GF. They have corn tortillas that they prep and cook in foil to reduce cross contamination .
I got the nachos yesterday- they were good! make sure to ask for the gluten free fryer cause that’s where I messed up 🤢
Gluten free corn tortillas are available for their entrees
