After coming here several times because the food is quite good, my wife who has celiac disease unfortunately got really sick the last time we went.

Usually the staff is pretty on top of it there, but the folks working that day didn't really seem to care and even seemed slightly annoyed about the accomodation. This was on 2/19/22 at around 3 pm.

This was a deal breaker for us unfortunately, which is sad because we've enjoyed going there every month or so for the last year.

I have celiac and wanted to be able to eat something at a work holiday party - for once. We catered Hugo's and got everthing GF including the crispy taco shells and taquitos. Everything was fresh and delish and they were easy to coordinate with! Really appreciate that this is an option that all can enjoy. ☺ next I have to get the churros!

A great little outdoor seatung or takeout-only Mexican restaurant. Churros are da bomb! OMG I'd drive 30 minutes just for them. Tacos and almost everything on the menu are GF. Also, everyone is well trained in GF. Incredible.

They told me the soft and hardshell tacos are the same corn tortillas and had no issues along with the churros.

Really tasty

I had high hopes for this place but ended up very disappointed. They advertise gluten free options and state online that their staff is knowledgeable about gluten free and cross contamination. Unfortunately this was not the case. I came here specifically for gluten free options since i have celiac disease. When ordering i requested that my meal be prepared gluten free. The lady at the window stated it was already gluten free. I attempted to explain that i needed it prepared free of cross contamination but she snapped that again it was already gluten free and didn't need all this info. At this point i should have canceled my order and left but i stupidly decided to give them a chance. The food came out and was nothing special especially for the price. My non gluten free partner was also not impressed. I don't mind paying for SAFE GLUTEN FREE and TASTY food but this was not it. The worst part is i paid for my dumb decision to eat there later with an extremely painful stomachache that ruined the rest of my day. The food was obviously not gluten free or there are MAJOR cross contamination issues. If you are looking for SAFE gluten free options definitely avoid this place. You may also want to avoid if your not gluten free and looking for good Mexican food. All around disappointing. I am also urging the company to REMOVE the gluten free claims to prevent any one else from getting sick and going through the pain that i did.

What a great find! It's a literal shack--no reservations, but they did have some outdoor seating but makes for great take out. The entire place is gluten free--not hard to do with Mexican food but such a treat as no worries about cross contamination. Even the churros were gluten free, and quite good. We avoided the chorizos due to spicing concerns with a mustard allergy, but there was no mustard in the simpler meats etc. There is fish available and one dish seems to have shrimp as an option (the tamales, which were whole corn and the filling put on the outside, rather than having different filled ones available) but no other shellfish on the menu and we didn't have any issues avoiding/no cross contamination problems. A great treat for a quick stop--there are two locations, we went to the one in Glendale after touring Pasadena.

There can’t be too many reviews! They knew exactly what celiacs was, how theres dedicated fryers, and the receipt says celiac safe. The menu says what is definitely gluten free and what can be made gluten free. I can’t believe I finally got to eat gf churros !!!!

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.

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Churros were hot and delicious. I recommend this spot.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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!

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

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious gf churros and Nashville hot fried chicken, just ask for it lettuce wrapped and say it’s a gluten allergy. Everything fried is gf. Burritos are not safe since the tortilla is heated where the others are. Basically stick to whatever’s fried and you’re good

I ordered fish tacos and my husband ordered beef tacos.I did not have any reaction whatsoever so it was definitely gluten-free.However the tacos were very dry and rather tasteless for both of us. So that was rather sad.
