No celiac symptoms after eating here! I asked the gentleman behind the counter if he could do a glove change for a gluten allergy and he was more than helpful. He went to the back and thoroughly washed his hands before re-gloving. He explained that his daughter also had a food allergy so he knew how important it was to be cautious and he completely sympathesized. He was extremely cautious and careful to assure that there was no cross contamination. I could not be more happy! What an amazing employee! Thank you so much MOE'S for going out of your way to be incredibly helpful and understanding.
Hard shell Tacos are GF but ask for GF shells. They have an allergen chart on the counter taped to the side you can read before ordering. Most items are GF. If you explain you are celiac they are careful. So cross contact is possible, but if you tell them, much less likely. The bowls are probably the best bet and value. I had chicken and steak and no issues. I also had 3 hard shell Tacos and no issues. Do not eat the chips and salsa. No dedicated fryer for those, and are flagged on the allergen chart. For a quick, tasty, filling meal, I do recommend them. Soy sensitive items are more abundant than GF so keep that in mind if soy is a big issue for you.
Employees not knowledgeable about gluten allergy. They were willing to change gloves after I asked but then offered toppings and items containing gluten such as a tortilla or chips with the bowl despite me mentioning 3 separate times that I was celiac and couldn’t eat any gluten. They were not knowledgeable about cross contamination and couldn’t answer my questions. Within a few hours I knew there was gluten in what they had prepared despite their claims that it was gluten free and safe for celiac.
This place is a Godsend in the gluten-free wasteland that is the Vegas airport. It’s similar to Chipotle, and possesses similar cross-contamination risks. I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone with a serious allergy, but if you’re fine with places like Chipotle you should be fine here.
Blech. The only option we had time for. They did change gloves at my request as they use their hands for a lot of the toppings on the bowl I ordered. I made sure to take Gluten Digest. The chicken was pretty poor quality it seems. I didn’t eat it all. Way below Chipotle in quality and service.
