Food was delicious and food was safe. Would definitely recommend and return. Waitress was knowledgeable. Didn't order chips due to reading they were in shared fryer.

Waiter was very helpful about avoiding gluten. Tacos were great. Chips have shared fryer so we skipped those but they did offer corn tortillas if we wanted. My family would definitely go back!

After eating here 2 times and getting sick both time, I won’t be able to try again. The people are nice and they offer GF menu, but I became sick both times.

Believe the hype! Really good drinks and food. Lots of gf (and vegetarian, but not much both vegetarian and gf) options. We ordered at the bar, and the bartender was knowledgeable about cross-contact.

We ate there in January 2021. My wife is a gluten trace detector; she did not have any issues. Staff is a little loose; we had some worries about cross contamination (menu should make kitchen pretty safe). Food is tasty. We would go there again.

Other Characteristics

• Good for kids
• Good for takeout

Food was really good, no hesitation there! I had strip steak tacos. About half the menu is GF.

I asked the server to flag my order as an allergy for the kitchen, and he seemed really unsure why I would request that, and didn’t have any answers about cc prevention. He confirmed he could ask the chef to change their gloves but it didn’t exactly inspire confidence. (“Oh sure, sure.”) Overall I’d say it’s celiac-friendly but I’d be less confident with takeout or if it’s really busy.

Their covid menu (electronic with QR code) did not have GF items marked so they brought me a print one.

Very knowledgeable about Celiac. Tacos are delicious! I did not get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing tacos ... staff very knowledgeable about celiac. Chips and guacamole not safe bc of shared fryer but elote (Mexican corn) was safe and delicious. We liked it enough we went back a second time. The blue fin taco is life changing!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is celiac friendly, but other than the corn I didn’t like the food at all. Family enjoyed their burritos, but the tacos were not a win. I tried 4 kinda of tacos, too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Delicious food and knowledgeable staff! I am a very sensitive celiac who is so nervous to eat at restaurants but I trusted the previous reviews and went for it. There are many GF options. I marked celiac next to my order and the waiter on his own came to me and said he would make sure to tell the kitchen and have them change their gloves. I got a chicken rice bowl which was so good and I did not get sick. Go enjoy! Side note- I did not eat the chips due to what other reviewers said about them not being safe but I also did not ask the staff about them.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent and creative gourmet take on tacos. Knowledgeable wait staff. Cool atmosphere

The rice bowl was so good. I made sure I made a note saying celiac, and it seems like they made sure mine was safe. I definitely recommend this place to other celiacs

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went to Alexandria for 5 days and this is the only place we ate. They are so careful with celiac and or gluten issues. Bring your own chips because chips are not gf. The tacos are out of this world. Wish we had a Don Taco in Mass.

Tasty tacos and awesome rice bowls. Menu clearly marks GF tacos. Only sad thing is no GF chips because of cross contamination in fryer.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great tacos. Rice bowls are phenomenal. Quesadillas were delicious as well. If you are in the area, this is definitely a place to try. You will not regret it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Beware for kids - the chips are not gluten free

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Bartender was very nice and knowledgeable. Tacos are awesome. The ceviche was good, but I like the taco better. I had the Al Pastor taco with pork, pineapple and Mexican creme. Worth trying!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great place on King Street down in Old Town! GF is clearly marked on the menu, and they accommodated for my dairy allergy as well. All tacos are soft shell corn. Nice bar available as well. Service was quick. I highly recommend the pomegranate steak tacos!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place been great every time I’ve stopped in

Great options for gluten free folks!

Tacos that are gluten free are clearly listed on the menu. Delicious!!!

Shared tacos and bowl with with my daughter who has celiac also. The tacos were delicious.any gf choices on the menu for gluten. Staff and manager very knowledgeable about Celiac

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great! Knowledgeable staff and the food was great. We all ordered GF but they did separate trays still for my food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome awesome tacos. Several are auto gf.

Outstanding gourmet street tacos! Half the tacos on the menu are gluten-free. Rarely do celiacs get so many delicious choices! I enjoyed the taco of the week which was a delish vegetarian taco with sweet potato, quinoa, and chipotle aioli. I also got the Mr. Cordero lamb taco (swoon), the chorizo and eggs taco, and the roasted sriracha chicken taco.

The staff are highly knowledgeable about gluten sensitivities, and all of them were proactive to ensure I experienced a safe and tasty meal.

Highly recommended and can’t wait to go back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Service was great, very helpful with selecting Gluten Free options, which are also clearly labeled on the menu. Tacos and street corn were pretty good, guac was awesome! The chips share a fryer with gluten-covered items, but I had no problem eating them (don't suggest if you are SUPER intolerant). Despite the fact that I have Celiac, I tend to not be affected by fryer contamination. Definitely got my taco fix!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Menu is clearly marked with GF items. Not the best tacos ever, but pretty good.

Knowledgeable staff and great food. I am allergic to gluten/dairy/soy and had no issues

Awesome spot! Celiac aware and friendly, but the best part is the delicious food and yummy tequilas and mezcals.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Greatest thing here is that they will work with ANY special dietary restraint or preference. I am a GF vegetarian and never leave hungry. Plus their queso is AMAZING!

Great food, fun place, and most importantly didn't have any problems.

Excellent tacos and lots of clearly marked gf options. The chips are not marked gf (no dedicated fryer I believe) but I ate them with out a reaction.

Outstanding innovative tacos and small plate foods. Waitress very respectful of my CD and took precautions. All tacos are on corn tortillas. No dedicated fryer, but I didn't have a reaction. The "small" guacamole fed 3 people and the Chicken nachos were huge! Great food, cheap price ($50 for three adults). Best part, no triple sec in Margaritas, all are fresh and gluten free!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ate here last week and the waitstaff was great and knowledgeable with lots of gf options and I am also dairy free and had a margarita and did not have any issues!!! my cousin has celiac and she recommended the place to me.

Fantastic tacos and lots of gluten free options. Servers are helpful and knowledgeable.

Good tacos. Gluten-free options labeled. Servers understood celiac. Good drink options too, many tequila-based things. I didn't get glutened here.
