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.

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.

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.

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.
