Jalapeno Heaven

Stopped here today because I was having trouble finding a local deli with GF bread. The staff was VERY knowledgeable and told me any menu item could be made with corn tortilla, etc instead of flour. I was told their refried beans and one kind of rice (I think pilaf) is GF and they fry the chips in separate oil so ask for GF chips. I was quite happy with the bean burrito and crunchy taco. Will go back again -so many options. Gave 4 stars because I don’t know how to assess safety.

I ate here a few times, I never felt great after. The food tasted good, but I was either cross contaminated or the quality of the food was so poor that I felt sick the next day each time.

I was a regular many years ago prior to my gluten allergy diagnosis. Since then I was afraid to eat out because of the cross contamination issue; however went there last night based on Emma's review and I couldn't be more happy. The entire staff was so informative, accommodating, and friendly just as Emma said. I shall return!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

staff is VERY knowledgeable about celiac and helpful. it is their policy to have the manager come over if you have celiac or any other food allergies so she can show you what you can and can't have, and then make sure the order is communicated to the kitchen well. they have a lot of naturally GF menu options, but also have rice flour tortillas, so you can have GF burritos, quesadillas, etc. Great service and delicious food!
