the manager was easy to find/speak to. he knew what celiac was and could point out which options were safe. even found me later to tell me that today’s soup would be okay for me too! food was delicious, but very expensive.

GF options are clearly marked on the menu, but the person taking orders at the counter refused to talk to the kitchen about not cross-contaminating my order. She told me the hot food is assembled off-site and is only heated in the kitchen, but when my tacos arrived they had obviously just been assembled, with fresh veggies on top. This means it was likely done on a contaminated surface with contaminated gloves. I expected better communication after paying $16 for a plate of tacos.

Celiac friendly?

No

Menu has symbols indicating which items are gluten-free. Shrimp curry and lemon pound cake both very good.
