Before ordering I told them I had celiac disease and asked if they knew what it was. The woman behind the counter looked at me like I had 8 eyeballs. I then said I have a gluten allergy and I would need the staff to change their gloves. She still looked at me like I was a freak, but she called out to the staff “gluten free.” (Ok, close enough.) They did change their gloves. Corn tortillas go on a griddle that is separate from the flour tortillas. The chance for cross contamination is definitely via the ladles they use for ingredients, since they touch the tortillas. I didn’t feel super sick after but I did feel a little off the day after eating here. Your experience may just depend on who’s on staff and which location you go to.

I got three take-out tacos in early October 2019. The options offered were thoughtful; the food was well-made and generous for the price. This place is a good bargain.

Even better, the clerk at the register was happy to answer my questions. There were many, many GF options, and the clerk volunteered that, once he put "gluten free" on my ticket, the kitchen staff would change gloves and take allergen precautions.

The tacos (al pastor, pollo asado & guacamole) were delicious, and I was able to have a worry-free meal. This is a good place.

They have gluten free food but are very confused when it comes to cross contamination and are not very happy when asked to avoid it

Staff immediately knew how to approach a gf meal when we mentioned celiac disease. The first quesadilla and nachos my daughter has had in a while and she loved it!

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I asked for assistance ordering, the person up front went back to the kitchen to verify everything I ordered was gluten free. He also alerted the kitchen staff that I had an allergy, and asked them to change their gloves for me!

Went here for lunch today. Pretty much all their menu (bar the flour tortillas) are gluten free. When I asked about what was GF - they provided a menu with the list of ingredients and what was / wasn’t GF. They said to tell them once I put the order through that it was for GF allergy - and they would change their gloves / wipe bench down before preparing. Very accommodating - and food was great for a quick bite lunch!!
