Staff were friendly and helpful, not 100% sure how diligent they are with cross contamination but also didn't ask too many questions. Many GF options on menu.

Was there last Sunday. They had lots of options for celiac, were very well informed. The fish tacos were delicious. I had no reaction.

So delicious! I am dairy free & gluten free and they knew exactly what they were putting in front of me. One of the best places I’ve been to yet!
I’ve been back a few times because I just love it - zero reactions and always pleased.

From what I’ve heard, all of the street tacos are gluten free and delicious! Already been back twice and haven’t had any reaction. Good price too!

Once I told the server I had celiac they told the chef to limit cc. I ordered 4 different tacos and they were all delicious. Had no reaction afterward and will be going back in the future.

Review
I found this place was not gluten free in terms of cross contamination. I specified that I was gf and the proceeded to watch the chef in the back touching the flour tortillas go and grab a few corn ones without gloves or washing hands and put them on the grill. I stupidly ate the food anyways and didn't feel great after. I don't have strong symptoms usually.
I had eaten there a few times and felt both fine and not great, so I was always thinking it wasn't the restaurant glutening me. After this I didn't doubt and I don't eat here any more.
Review
About 90% of the menu is gluten free, the food is delicious and my corn tortillas were fried is a separate pan. Delicious!
