Almost everything is gluten free. The steak, duck and flounder tacos were all outstanding. As was the dessert. Guacamole was yummy too. Definitely will be back.

Ate here last night. Got the fiesta potatoes and taquitos. A little bit of too much fried food for me, but no reactions. The meat didn’t have much flavor. If the taquitos didn’t have honey mustard, it would have just tasted like fried oil.

Great experience! Lots of GF options clearly listed on the menu. I had chips and salsa as well as chicken taquitos and it was all delicious and fresh. I also had a couple of mango margaritas which were very good!

Tako Taco is one of our favorites for a quick and easy meal. They fry all of their chips in a gluten free fryer as well as their crinkle cut fries. (Curly fries are not gf and done in the gluten fryer) we love the tacos that change often, and we love the chips and queso. Even if it’s not listed as gluten free, many things can be done gf. Theu have a lot of vegan, dairy free, and veggie options too. They take things very seriously, we have been going for years.

Tako Taco has a very energetic vibe opens usually for dinner around 5. Tako Taco is a restaurant inspired by the idea of street food. Lots of options for gluten free tacos! The house margarita is must! Brunch menu offered only on Sundays
