Pretty good food and it’s nice that it is all vegan! I would give this 4.5 stars if I could- staff only seemed relatively aware of celiac safety, but I didn’t get sick. Chips are gf!

I ate lunch here on a weekday in the bar area. The staff were very helpful and friendly and answered my questions, though some things the bartender told me indicated he didn’t completely understand why some things on the menu were not GF. There was also an older man at the bar who was clearly drunk and kept trying to talk with me. It was a little annoying that the bartender kept serving him and didn’t say anything to him about harassing other customers.

My lunch buddy and I each got a bowl: one potato and one Impossible beef. The food was good but unremarkable. It felt expensive for what was ultimately a Chipotle bowl. Overall, a fine experience that didn’t make me sick.

We got takeout so can't speak to the dine-in experience but we absolutely loved the tacos and nachos we ordered. Everything was super tasty, safe for celiacs and ready in under 5-10 minutes on the night we went. Absolutely recommend.

GF items are marked on the menu. Got the impossible burg'r taco and the soyrozo with egg & potato taco plus a side of guac and green rice. Service was fast and friendly and the food was delicious. Would definitely eat here again.

The food was pretty good for vegan food! I got a potato taco and one el pastor. The potato taco was better than the el pastor taco. The chips aren’t made on site and the waitress told me they were gluten free. They had a little space on the ordering menu to put allergies.

We had such a good experience! Waitress was very knowledgeable about allergies and even checked with the chef when she was unsure of a corn allergy. Vegan nachos and chipotle potatoes were fantastic!

This is a 100% plant-based. The menu is clearly labeled with what is gluten-free. Team was friendly.

Staff were very helpful in asking questions to the kitchen for gluten free. I am a coeliac and have eaten here 3 times without any symptoms. I had the vegan tacos which were delicious and I was pleasantly surprised that the vegan chorizo sausage was GF too. Reasonably priced and yummy cocktails available. 21 and up only in this restaurant.

Fresh, delicious corn tortillas, great options for vegans - including soy-free Daiya nachos - interesting meats for carnivores, a 21+ side plus family eating space and no cross contamination reactions. Highly recommended.

I would give it one if I could. This was one of the worst experiences we ever had. No gf menu. None of the waiters neither the cooks helped us. They said the could not tell if they were good for celiacs.

Everything on the menu except one thing is gluten free. Sort of a dive bar with great happy hour specials and tasty tacos. I am celiac and never get sick.
