Rubio's

Asked the cook to change gloves while making a taco and asked for gluten free. He came out and told me that A. He doesn't wear gloves while assembling tacos and B. Every square inch of the kitchen is contaminated with wheat. He told me that if it's a sensitive "allergy" that he doesn't recommend eating there as everything has wheat in it. We had to leave and went hungry.

Tacos! Yummy. Friendly service

Didn't get past the counter... Manager was honest and said high risk for cross contamination. So 3 star for honesty although should not be on gluten free app

Great menu. trained and helpful staff.

My go to fast food in San Diego! Almost all the tacos are made with corn tortillas. I go for the street tacos and ask for no cheese on the beans, and then it's totally dairy free too. I know the chips are made in a shared fryer, so avoid if you are sensitive.

The food is quite good, but I ate here so many times thinking it was Celiac safe because of their allergen menu... When I got sick the third time I should've freaking realized, but it took a cashier finally saying "you know this isn't Celiac safe, flour tortillas have been ALL over the grill" for me to realize it was definitely gluten. I know, dumb on my part, it was just the only place around for me so I ignored the truth.
