I will agree with the review about the staff not fully knowing everything. I’ve gone here a bunch of times, and today I was met with someone who wasn’t totally sure what cross-contamination meant, but he pulled someone back from the kitchen and I was able to speak to them directly. It seems like the only gluten on their menu is the burrito/flour tortilla. So the fryer is 100% gluten-free, the tacos are all on corn tortillas, and you can even get plantain chips or corn chips for the sauces/guacamole. But if you are celiac like me, I would recommend Hugos tacos instead, similar food at a much cheaper price, and they are very very aware of cross-contamination and what’s on their menu.

EDIT- after getting home I got super sick. Used my Nina tester and got a “gluten found” result. The 3rd line was super faint so I’m guessing cross contamination but not ideal for a celiac.

Lots of GF and vegan options. Delicious food. The vegan queso is unbelievable. I truly couldn’t believe it was vegan! They also have amazing churro waffle bites that are totally GF!

I am celiac and the staff at this location seemed very uninformed about what that actually means. There was a mix up with my order and when I wanted to confirm that it was safe for me to eat, the staff gave me a hard time. I ended up sending it back and reordering again to be completely sure I got the correct meal. It’s good that their menu is mostly GF but since they do use flour tortillas, there is still a risk for CC. To me it felt more like a “trendy” GF spot as opposed to celiac safe.

Ate here and it was delicious, and I had no issues.

We had a variety of tacos (really recommend the fried mushroom and the fried mahi mahi), and the quesadillas. The churro bites were also great for dessert.

We didn’t have the bowls, so I can’t say whether they are a safe option.

The one comment I’d make is service was very very slow, so if you’re in a rush this isn’t the place to go to. Apart from that we had a very positive experience.
