Amazing tacos! Staff was very knowledgeable about allergies! Most anything on the menu can be made gluten free with the exception of 2/3 things. Chips are in a dedicated fryer so GF.

Extremely knowledgeable staff. Server very aware of cross contamination and what foods were safe/not safe. Dedicated fryer for chips! Many gluten free options, and the food was delicious. Had the chips and smoky chipotle salsa and downtown tacos with chicken. Would absolutely return!

Tasty food, but my son got glutened. They were very honest and forthright about not being able to guarantee it was celiac safe, but we had really hoped with their dedicated GF fryer, they would take other appropriate precautions.

One of my top meals in my life. I am so fussy and so sensitive to gluten. This queso was dreamy with a dedicated fryer for chips. I had the fish tacos, and I fell in love with the taste! Wow. Flavor!!

Very easy experience, all the taco options have ingredients listed, and all tortillas can be subbed with corn tortillas or even romaine lettuce. Simple and fresh, friendly service, try the carnitas

Server was knowledgeable and helpful about gluten-free options. Corn tortilla chips are fried in a dedicated fryer and most items can be made gluten-free. Dairy can be easily removed off most items. The guacamole and chips were tasty, the drinks are divine (super nice selection of tequilas), and downtown street tacos with beef were delicious. This is the only Mexican food place in this area I've found that didn't give me the deer-in-headlights look when I mentioned gluten-free.

Loved this place! Food and drinks were both really delicious! Server seemed knowledgeable when I asked her about the tacos being prepared gf. She said all the tacos (minus pork belly due to uncertainty) could be made gluten free. Didn’t ask about the rest of the menu, but highly recommend!

tons of menu items seemed liked a slam-dunk for celiacs, but staff, who I asked to double-ck with chef, said only gazpacho and salsa samplers (with vegetable dipper) would be safe. no protein ok. very disappointing, esp in a healthy foodie town like Asheville. had to leave
