La Taquisa

Enjoyed three tacos for lunch. My little celiac (6 yrs old) tried the gringa with beans. Everything was delicious! Plenty of GF options, they actually mark the gluten containing menu items instead of GF. We’ll be back :)

The staff is careful if you mention celiac. Notice that the fillings on the menu marked G are WITH gluten. Corn Tacos safe, Burrito wraps not. Tasty and fast. An adult can easily eat 4 tacos.

Good experience, items that contain gluten are clearly marked on the menu. Tacos are GF, care is taken in the kitchen against cross contamination and the staff is knowledgeable. I had the chicken tinga and fish al pastor tacos, tortilla chips, guacamole and mild verde salsa, all was delicious with no issues.

Absolutely wonderful lunch! Everything on the menu is gluten free except the things that are marked to CONTAIN gluten- ex. burrito, flour tortillas. We had tacos, quesadillas, and tortilla soup and it was all delicious, spicy, and under $30! Highly recommend.

Tasty tacos! Staff very knowledgeable and accommodating. Only downside was there are no alcoholic gluten free drinks available. Other than that it was great!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food is wonderful and most of the menu is already gluten free. The customer service is great and a wonderful atmosphere in the restaurant. Its the kind of place that you order at a counter then sit down and pick up your food. The tacos are small, so order two if you are hungry. Overall, a nice place with great food. Really enjoyed our lunch.

Advised the staff I had celiac, and was ensured gloves would be changed, etc...

Saw them making my food, but as they grabbed the dish she found some crumbs on it and brushed them off and then started putting on food. I got her attention,and asked what she brushed off the plate - she wasn't sure. I asked her to get a clean plate, as if it was crumbs I could get really sick. She kind of rolled her eyes, and got a new dish. She then scraped off the food into the new dish. So I got her attention again, and said that is not OK.

Hopefully I don't get sick - because the lady making my food didn't seem to give a crap.

Mexican is naturally GF so we only had to ask which sauces to avoid (the molé is the only non-GF sauce). The menu clearly states what is GF and the staff was very helpful with our questions. It’s a simple place, only offers a few items (tacos, burritos, quesadillas), but the combinations you can have will keep us going back for more. And they make their tortillas in-house! It’s casual dining, order at a counter and eat in or take out. Environmentally friendly, which adds to its charm.

A great find in Victoria! Delicious & celiac safe food. Most of their menu is naturally gluten free. It's a family owned business that makes corn tortillas from scratch. They take allergies seriously & do out if their way to accommodate people with food allergies & are very well trained to avoid cross-contamination. Very reasonable prices & excellent customer service! There is a second location at 120-176 Wilson St., Vic. West.
