The staff in Ankeny are super helpful, and there is a great deal of food that is GF -because they have corn items. Tacos, chips, queso is way good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They messed up my order and gave me glutened meat. I only caught it after I took a bite. One bite was all it took...sick within the hour!

Celiac friendly?

No

They don't know their menu items. The place smells like manure and don't watch them prep your food or you won't eat it. Very dirty place. It's a no go for any germaphobe or weak immune system.

Celiac friendly?

No

Good food, but not celiac friendly. All items are cooked on same cook top and same fryer.

Celiac friendly?

No

Tacos are made with corn tortillas! Chips are corn! Not bad prices!

Plenty choices on the GF MENU. Also told the chef to take precautions and they were very nice about it. Huge portions and delicious:)

When I arrived I asked the employee at check out about what their knowledge of GF. If she wasn’t knowledgeable then I needed to speak with the manager. She said he’s not available he went to the bank. She ended up having to call him. She was unable to find their GF menu. They have a disclaimer online that they make every attempt to avoid cross contact but can’t guarantee there wouldn’t be traces of gluten in the food since their food is prepared in a common kitchen. I ordered a breakfast taco. Was watching their preparations in the kitchen. They put the wheat tortillas on the same grill with the corn tortillas. It was apparent that they took no precautions to avoid cross contact. They didn’t change gloves. The same gloves that touch your GF corn tortillas reach into the bag and touch the wheat tortillas so definite cross contamination. They say their chips are GF but they fry them in a common fryer. This was very disappointing since there was a good review of this location. The review of this location however was 3 years ago so I was very cautious and purposefully watched how they prepared it. If you aren’t concerned about cross contamination then you would be fine eating here but for celiacs I would say don’t eat there.

Ordered from the GF menu, loaded chicken nachos. We went for a late lunch around 2:30 to avoid CC and it worked. Did not get sick since they had time to properly handle our food. Paired it up with an Angry Orchard!

Their website lists gluten free options.

Edit: A couple of times, they put my tortilla on the same grill as the wheat tortilla. I went there yesterday, and they seemed to have no idea how to be careful about cc. If I eat there, I feel like I have to be extra careful now. They fry the chips at the beginning of the day, but they have other things in their fryer
