Corn tortillas on all tacos so most are naturally gluten free. They said there was cross contamination with the fryer though so no chips ☹ Overall, the tacos were okay!

They said the bowl was gluten free, brought it out and said that it turned out the rice and beans had gluten. Didn’t ask if I wanted to change what I ordered, so it was like a taco salad. The steak was wierd ground beef clumped together and the whole bowl was very very wet. Almost uneatable. The staff was nice though

The corn tortillas for the tacos are heated on the same surface as the flour ones. Not celiac safe.

Ate there last night. The tacos were absolutely delicious and gluten free. Owner took care to avoid cross contamination. Lots of unique flavors. Became very busy about 7:30 pm which indicated the locals valued this hidden gem. If you are in Chicago this place is definitely worth finding and enjoying.

I asked the waitress if the corn tortillas were truly gluten-free, just to confirm. She looked at me, chuckled, shrugged her shoulders, and dusted off the question as if it were a joke. I continued to tell her that it would not be a fun day for her or her coworkers if they had to call the EMS. She then confirmed with another employee. The employees are rude, the restaurant is dirty, the food is decent, and the service was super fast, which scares me when ordering "special" food. Just be cautious if you're superrrrrrr sensitive!

They're tacos are naturally gluten free because of the corn tortillas. When you walk in the menu even says they are naturally gluten free.

Menu says all tacos are naturally gluten free. I had the salad which was very good with the grilled chicken. They also offer bowls. Did not ask about the chips but wish I did!
