These tacos are amazing! My favorite are the carnitas and carne asada. They also have gluten free churros! Their taco family meal deal is so much food for the price so we get that a lot. My favorite salsa is the avocado salsa.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fantastic! The menu is clearly marked what's (GF) and there's lots of choices and options! I had the taquitos and a fish and shrimp taco, all loaded up with big portions, super delicious and I didn't get sick! Whooooo! Really great friendly service and easy ordering process, they do Apple pay and Samsung too, they have their own parking lot too. My new favorite taco place!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They actually print "celiac safe" on the receipt!! Delicious food and amazing customer service. A safe haven.

Best gluten free tacos I have ever had in my life!! The taco shells were great, so many choices to pick from that are gluten free and gluten free churos which where great as well! My favourite find so far!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GLUTEN FREE CHURROS!!!!! They are awesome. The food was good too, but the churros blew. my. mind. They don't use the fryer for ANY gluten containing products.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Taco stand with outside tables in the shade. Gf items clearly marked on the menu. Vegan options available.

Our family of 4 ate dinner here. 2 Celiac family members and 1 is gluten sensitive. 3 had nachos with steak or chicken with different salsas. I had the beef tacos. Everything was delicious! I wish we had a Hugo’s back home! We followed our meal with the churros. Yum! Haven’t had one in nearly a decade.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Only GF foods go in the fryer! Their GF churros were very sweet, but also delicious — my non GF friends were impressed by them. I had the chicken taquitos and chips/guac as well, which we’re both good. I didn’t feel anxiety about cross contamination, and will definitely return. My friends got glutinous burritos and they served them on a separate tray from the GF foods. Update: tested the churros with my Nima and got a smiley face! Test was inconclusive for taquitos because I overfilled the capsule.

The best gluten free and vegan street tacos and churros!!! Celiac safe!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So wonderful! I had a carne asada salad bowl and the bowl was a fluffy yet crispy, delicious, and amazing. The carne was great, too. And of course I had a churro. It was soft and chewy and so good. No reactions at all.

Churros were hot and delicious. I recommend this spot.

Great GF, celiac friendly food! GF churros (they don't fry anything that isn't GF) were so good!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had my first churro in 10+ years!!! They only fry gf items. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the taquitos but the tacos and nachos were great!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I explained that i needed gluten free, very accommodating to gluten free, vegan and regular food. Everything was made super fresh

OMG THEIR TAQUITOS! 🙀 get everything and anything gluten free, it’s goooood

Menu is explicit on what is GF. Menu explicitly says that the restaurant trains employees not to cross contaminate.

GF churros are amazing!! Would recommend this place

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I would give this place 50 stars if I could, because seriously, GF CHURROS!! The staff was very friendly, the menu is clearly marked, and you can order almost everything GF (other than burritos & quesadillas). I’ll be eating here often!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We were warned this one wasn’t as good as the universal location in NoHo. This location had a customer bathroom which I appreciated. My husband ordered and they made my food incorrectly so he had to go back and have them fix it which they did. The food was less flavorful than NoHo. This location had churros but the oil was old making them not taste as good. The food was still good just not as good in comparison to the other store. I loved the dining options Hugo’s offers.

If I could give thos 10 stars I would!! So tasty!! And the dairy free ice cream and GF churros were amazing!! We ate tacos - both the hard and soft are gluten free and they were so tasty!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Visiting LA and came here on the other recommendations in Find me GF. Had a Breakfast bowl and a Steak bowl and both were delicious. Menu is a Celiacs Dream..so properly labeled.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A branch off of the amazing Hugo’s cafe this Mexican taco shop has a fryer safe for chips, nachos and taquitos and even churros! All GF options are listed clearly in addition to options that can be prepared GF with modifications. Hey one of taco options and bowls as well.

CHURROS!!! The best labeling on their board for gf/veg/vegan needs, it's so easy to know what's safe and what needs modification!

Good selection. Very tasty tacos. GF indications on menu board.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I'm a very sensitive Celiac and I ate here with no reaction. Ate the chicken bowl, it was delicious!

Gluten free churros!! They are so good too! Everything is clearly labeled & there are lots of options (tacos,bowls,etc). The staff are nice & knowledgeable.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything is very clearly labeled Gluten-Free or not. Great for Celiacs. Delicious bowls!! Great agua frescas! But best of all?! GLUTEN FREE CHURROS!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love this little place! I ate their several times and have never reacted. Their menu is clearly labeled. They now have GF churros which are fantastic! They also offer Frozato- a dairy-free and GF soft serve ice cream.

Lots of taco options, clearly marked and labeled.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yum! GF and vegan soft and crunchy potato tacos. GF and vegan churros. Beans and rice don't have much flavor, but are not bad.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Always play it safe here with the salads but dressings are GF and have passed my Nima sensor!

Safe dishes marked GF, and the order taker seemed knowledgeable. The food itself is good but in my opinion it all depends on the sauce/salsa that you get. Getting the right sauce/salsa pushes this food to very very good. I’ve eaten multiple times, never had a reaction. GF churros are delicious!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food was great, they had a large selection. They ran out of stuff which was a bummer but likely due to popularity. They had heaters for outdoor seating which was nice. They were able to cater to our allergies which include dairy, pea, pork, beef, lamb, and CD. Food tasted great we went back for seconds. I was bummed they ran out of churros and didn’t have any the next day.

Casual place, outdoor seating, menu clearly designates GF! Tasty nachos!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GLUTEN FREE CHURROS! Need I say more?

Delicious food! Loved the tacos, bowls, Churros and frozen gf df ice cream. We did not get sick and we're super sensitive. Highly recommend! You will not be disappointed. This location also has indoor seating unlike their other location near Universal.

Celiac friendly?

Awesome experience! Actually went there twice in one day! Loved the tacos and the bowl. Everything was delicious! Such a treat to have Churros and gf df ice cream! If we lived closer would go here all of the time!We are also allergic to latex and they have latex gloves here but they made our meal without them. We are super sensitive to gluten cross contamination and we did not get sick. Highly recommend!!

Finally found great Mexican food and gluten-free too... The food is addicting and staff is friendly and knowledgeable about gluten issues.

The food here is great! I finally got to have a churro! I've been here many times and haven't gotten sick! I just tell them that I have Celiac and ask them to change their gloves!

Delicious meal.. Everything clearly marked on menu. Really good mexican food! Celiac disease and quite sensitive & I didn't get sick.

I eat here at least twice a month and have never gotten sick

veagn and gluten free; lots of choices - I had the freshly made vegie tacos, very tastey. salsa was perfect.

Excellent for many allergies, intolerances and just wanting to know what is in your food!

Love the veggie and gluten free options here. Nice that its on the menu for you to see.

Good, but a little too greasy.
