Great restaurant if you are in the mood for delicious tacos! Rest of the menu is mostly off limits, but the tacos are amazing. The rice is marked GF but the kitchen told me they just changed the recipe to include soy sauce so avoid that. I explained to the server my restrictions and the kitchen prepared my food separately and safely. If you are ordering takeout, call after placing your order to alert the kitchen. Server was informed and helpful and kind! Highly recommend!!

The cauliflower taco was delicious. There aren’t a ton of GF marked items, but a number of the tacos are.

Not sure what the other review meant by offering one GF item? There are a few GF taco options and a couple mains as well. Of note, chips are not in a separate frier so would avoid those. Otherwise, for the tacos I had they were quite good and I have not gotten sick after eating here twice so if needed this isn’t a bad spot. Taqueria el Lado or Mi Vida will still offer more options for you however and the chips are safe at those locations
