The manager was super knowledgeable about celiac and most of their menu is gluten free. They change gloves and are trained to avoid cross contact.

My husband and I eat here frequently. It has never made us sick from gluten. We order the bowl and add our favorite ingredients.

Spoke to the manager about gluten free options and had beef tacos with hard corn shell (fried with corn chips and nothing else), chips, and queso! They were super willing to change gloves and keep my food from cross contact and knew how all their food was prepped. Lots of options for safe gluten free food (chicken is beer battered and not safe FYI) and experienced no symptoms after :) Will definitely return often!

Manager was awesome and honest about potential of cross contamination with chips and hard shells. Recommended soft corn tortillas for beef tacos and the rice. No signs of gluten exposure following meal!

The chicken is NOT gluten free, but every other meat is. Make sure you tell them you have celiac! In Gardendale specifically- they know what it is! When I tell them, I don’t get sick. I always order the nachos with ground beef and almost everything on it. I don’t ask for anything grilled just because I want as little to touch the grill as possible!

They are very knowledgeable. You can only get a bowl if your are cross contamination sensitive. Been a 3 times and never been sick and able to change it up each time

The cashier at Taco Mama was SO knowledgeable. I guess I had looked at the GF menu of a different Taco Mama so I said I had celiac and wanted the Nachos and she immediately corrected me and said that this restaurant is the only one in the chain that has a shared fryer so the chips are not gluten free. I ordered the chicken tacos and she made sure I got the chicken NOT cooked in beer. When she put in the order she said “ok let me go tell everyone to change their gloves” without me asking her to. So sweet! I have very sensitive celiac and didn’t have an issue.

Went here and they are gluten friendly. They are not, however, dairy free friendly. So if you are like me and have trouble with gluten and dairy I do not recommend this place. The chicken, ground beef, retired beans, and guac all have dairy in them.
