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.
When I asked for a corn tortilla, the worker asked if I was gluten free. When I said yes, she went and washed her hands, changed her gloves, and didn't touch anything but my food the entire time she was preparing it, even when a co-worker asked for her help. The worker was attentive and very helpful, making sure that I knew what was gluten-free and what wasn't when I was choosing what went on my salad. I ordered the Raspberry Chipotle Chicken Salad and requested mango salsa rather than dressing (just a personal preference). It was delicious and I didn't get sick!!!
I go here all the time! They are always accommodating. Everything is gluten free except for the flour tortillas. I never have a problem😊 I always go inside so I can watch them make it and make sure they change their gloves etc!
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 got glutened here a few months back and couldn't figure out why. Now they dust tortillas with flour so it is all in the air. They also do very little against cross contamination. Also management here is terrible, and there have been some very rude employees. I used to come here all the time but haven't been back since march.
Server was more than happy to accommodate and made sure to ask questions if they were unsure. Decent food for what it is. Almost the entire menu (except flour tortillas and desserts) were gluten free!
I almost cried when our taco-maker asked if my son’s request for corn tortillas was a preference or an allergy. When she found out he has celiac disease, she washed her hands, changed her gloves and cooked his tacos on foil on the grill to avoid cross contamination. Wish they had one of these in Washington State! Thank you for a wonderful meal!!!
Always good, kinda fast food, like Chipotle. Tell them you're GF and they'll change their gloves before preparing your food. These are the only GF burritos I have access to, and you can get them "smothered" for free. All the meats, sauces, dressings, soups are GF. Good, fresh, fast, cheap. This location has a drive through for if you call ahead.

They change their gloves and prepare the food from a separate area. Very knowledgeable and my son has never felt sick after eating here.
Great service. They changed gloves and stayed with my food the whole time. Also covered food at the end. Really wanted to keep my food safe.
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 🤢
