So good and so cute! Even their queso is gf, and staff is really knowledgeable about allergies. Mostly everything they serve is also gf. I had the nachos they were so good!

Almost everything can be made gluten free, and they distinguish the corn tortillas as gluten free or not, depending on if they heat them on the same surface as the flour tortillas. Easy, good value and delicious.

Favorite place to eat out with our Celiac family.

Reliable location. Tastes fresh as always, not the most explosive flavor but it is nice and light for a change. Definitely enjoy the chicken the most and love their queso.

It was all just ok.

The best part was that they write Gluten Free on the ticket so I know that the kitchen knows not to cross contaminate. I wish everywhere would do this!

Chips were hard and tasted stale. No salt.

Tomatillo salsa was strangely creamy.

Guac was a strange texture and a bit bland.

Corn tortillas were thick and chewy- in a bad way.

Barbacoa is better at Chipotle.

Carnitas were bland.

My friend got the chicken as said it was the best meat in his three tacos.

A good fast food option, qualitatively better than chipotle with roughly equivalent quantity. They have corn tortillas and bowls as GF options, and are generally sensitive to the gluten free diet; largely by default because of the type of food they serve. The guacamole is good and the salsa bar is worth checking out as well. I recommend take out because it can get pretty loud and hectic in the store at times. Good atmosphere on par with similarly priced burrito/taco shops like Chipotle and Moe's.

tl;dr - Good food, fair prices, good quality, not dedicated gluten free, would visit again.

Great meal. My daughter had the kids meal with corn tortillas rice and beans. Filled her perfectly and she was thrilled with her meal. 3 thumbs up!!

Food is still good but the lady making our food stuck her hand right in the cheese and lettuce. Maybe she only did it with the gluten free. I can't be sure. My kids aren't as sensitive as me but yesterday I had a teenie stomach ache and we ate there also. So ifs def worth eating just as always watch your food.

Excellent! If you like tacos you will love this place. My kids loved it too! You just let them know you need gluten free and they give you a corn tortillas instead. Delish! The pico de gallo is yum! We got the barbacoa ( shredded beef). Definitely recommend!

They had corn tortillas and bowls and when my celiac partner mentioned they had a gluten allergy, the kitchen staff was told to change their gloves for his order. Everything was really good!

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!!
