Absolutely nothing is safe here! Street tacos are in flour tortillas. Avoid this place!

Dedicated gluten free menu on website, not in store. Staff was not knowledgeable. But ingredients are simple and listed under each menu item.

Tasty, juicy chicken. We had the bowls. No complaints.

Picked up takeout today, first time to eat here since celiac diagnosis. Hard to find their GF info online but finally found a link after I clicked on a menu item. Warns there’s no dedicated kitchen or cross contamination protection but much of their menu is listed as GF. Chicken and most sides are on the GF list as is the milky drink horchata! Here’s the GF link as of 9-9-2022: https://www.elpolloloco.com/content/pdfs/epl_gluten_info_mod_4_2022_hr-1.pdf
