Very aware of need for gluten free and no cross contamination. Chips are safe for celiac. Food was pretty good. And in really enjoyed the mango jalapeno marg too!

Had some fantastic tacos - do advocate for yourself and let your server know that you’re celiac, and you’ll be taken care of. Handmade corn tortillas for all tacos were so excellent. Loved the steak tacos most, but all fillings we tried were excellent. Chips were safe as they are not made on site. Guac was excellent. Had a raspberry agua Fresca with my dinner that was fresh and fruity and so refreshing. Will go back!

I told them I had celiac and was sensitive to cross contamination. I ordered to tacos and the chips n dip which were both supposedly gluten free. Unfortunately I became nauseous right after and was sick the next day too. Something definitely had gluten.

Delicious food done street taco style. No gluten free menu but waitstaff was very knowledgeable and almost all tacos can be made gluten-free. Margaritas are a little pricey but delicious nonetheless. dessert they have only one option caramel covered Flan. Great place

This place was absolutely amazing. If I could give more stars I would. There is a waiter there who is also celiac. He made it an amazing experience for me and my non-celiac friends. He give me a list of gluten free cook books and restaurants in Chicago that were also dedicated gluten free. The food was amaZing. I had the Barbacoa tacos and my boyfriend had the chicken, steak, pork, and Barbacoa! We loved it!!! If you're in Chicago you need to go.

Absolutely the best tacos ever! They make their own homemade soft corn tortillas and no flour tortillas at all! The meats that are gluten free are all very delicious! They are either braised or grilled. The only non-Gf things are fried or served with pita. Servers have always been very helpful when picking out the menu and delivering a safe gluten free meal to a mixed table.

The tacos are awesome! All but 2 are gf, and they only use corn tortillas. The waiter was very knowledgeable about what items were not gf, and what could be done to make them gf if I wanted a substitute. Great for celiacs!
