Simple but perfect. I hope it never changes. The menu is setup in a way that is perfect. It tells you exactly which ingredients they remove to accommodate all gluten free, eggs, and dairy.

Just enough variety to make you feel like a normal diner but not to much to be overwhelming. My favorites are the Thailand and Baja. They also rotate in a special periodically. Definitely my new favorite place.

Came here for the first time tonight and will definitely be back! Everything is GF on their menu and that is also specified on the physical menu…a dream! The tacos were diverse in flavors and offerings. The chips and queso were delicious. Everything was a generous portion—the tacos were double stacked (2 tortillas) and filled with fresh ingredients. I felt safe here—they noted my allergy and I had no reaction. Highly recommend!

I got a chicken yogurt taco and a fried Nashville chicken taco on the right side. Haven’t had fried chicken in forever. Both flavorful and fresh!

Great food! Entire menu is gluten free but does have a flour tortilla option for any who aren’t gluten free. Food was delicious, fresh and came out quickly! Staff was so friendly! Will definitely come back! I am a symptomatic celiac and had no issues here.

I love this place, and almost everything is gluten free. I had the Nashville and Del Rio tacos, queso/chips and delicious Mexican street corn. Highly recommend!

One of the best GF restaurants in the area! Almost can be made GF/DF. Their fried fish is GF! I’ve never had a problem here and we eat here often. It’s my default go-to place because I know they’re so safe! And their food is delicious!

My husband has celiac disease, can’t eat dairy and also has chron’s disease so when we go out to eat (which is rare) he is extremely careful and there usually aren’t many choices. This is his new favorite place! Everything was gluten free, including the fried items! Ordering dairy free was also easy and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful!

The best service and food ever. We ate so much we're stuffed. EVERYTHING can be made gluten free. Let them know if you have celiac disease and they take special precautions.

We tried so many flavors, and can't pick a favorite. We even had dessert! Expect a wait. They're very popular.

If you are wanting tacos this is your place!!

Everything on the menu is Gluten Free except the flour tortillas.

When ordering on the online portal you can specify if you’re allergic to gluten.

They also have dairy free options!

Just amazing! I’ve of course been to the original location in U City but had to try the new one here in Kirkwood!

This place makes you feel normal!! You order on the Toast app and the entire menu is gf besides the flour tortillas. When you order, there’s a box to check “gluten allergy” and there are no questions they just know what to do! I couldn’t recommend this place more.
