Found the workers to be very rude when questioned and when they finally found the allergy list they ignored my request to view it. Went with a taco salad without the tortilla and wouldn't order it again. Do no recommend this chain.

They weren't thrilled when I asked for a glove change, and offered me the flour tortilla bowl. However, if you are educated about what you eat, you can find something here.

The food tasted like it was microwaved. Incase that wasn't bad enough I got the runs right after!

I don't understand what could have had gluten in it, but I won't go back.

As soon as I mentioned that I was gluten free, the person behind the counter got me an allergen guide and changed their gloves. Really positive experience!

Armed with the allergen menu, I confidently ordered a safe meal for my celiac toddler. Right off the bat, I asked the girl to change her gloves and she was happy to comply.

While the kids menu doesn't specify, they have a mini rice bowl option available. Since I did research before I came in and I know what my daughter likes, I ordered a mini bowl with white rice, black beans, and chicken. I added shredded cheese and sour cream. She devoured it! I gave her some chips too, but forgot that the menu said they could be cross-contaminated. She did have a little issue a couple of days later (her MO) so it was probably the chips. However that was my fault.

The only reason I marked safety down is that when they scoop the ingredients into the bowl or on to a tortilla, the utensil could come in contact with the tortilla. I could, and probably should, have asked for fresh utensils, but I didn't. So there is a risk of cross-contamination, but not anymore so than eat out at most establishments.

We will try again and avoid the chips to see if she reacts again.

Delicious chicken queso bowls. They have very clear allergen info on their website. Corn tortillas do have risk of cross contamination. They took our gluten allergy (celiac) seriously and changed gloves upon hearing. Decent portions for airport food price.

I’ve gotten burrito bowls from here many times and have never gotten sick. No gluten-free menu in restaurant, but they have an allergen guide online that includes gluten (link below).
