I got so sick from eating the tacos. They told me they were safe if there wasn’t anything fried in them. I don’t know if cross contamination was the issue or the sauce but definitely be cautious.

Spoke to manager and waitstaff. They informed me not to eat at this establishment if you have celiac disease. Risk of cross contamination is too high, and they do not have a list of ingredients from the kitchen to confirm whether an item is gluten free (even a typically safe one like ceviche.) Corn tortillas are warmed on the same surface as flour tortillas. Chips from shared fryer. I recommend avoiding because they are not even willing to work with you as a customer.

I have celiac and have eaten here many times and have not gotten sick. I will say that not all of the servers have a good knowledge on what is gluten free so ask many questions. I have tried the salsas and quacamole and eaten them tortilla chips I bring with me. Very tasty! They have a shared fryer so there is cross contamination so I would not eat the chips. I have eaten the Tacos de Filete (steak taco) and the Tacos Costenos (veggie) many times without problems. Very delicious!! As an added bonus the Margaritas are some of my favorite local cocktails !

No gluten free menu. Tortilla chips fried with gluten items. Plantains and other gluten items all fried together. Several sauces had gluten. Nothing was marked on the menu. Server was semi- competent in talking about gluten allergy. Would not recommend.

I spoke with the server who was wonderful and offered insight. Most of the menu is GF since it is corn based. He said, “I’ll put on your order that it has to be GF and it will come out GF.” He also double checked with the kitchen. Completely delicious.
