Celiac approved for basic food. Do your own diligence. GF is marked & cc risk. I felt best with a few sides - cilantro rice, black beans & ceviche (no chips).

I ordered the guiltless quesadilla that came with a gluten free tortilla. I was served, but had never been before, so I had realized it was not what I ordered and it came with a flour tortilla and got glutened. Although, their taco sampler was good.

This was just ok, not worth the price and my gluten free quesadilla was not marked and if my fiance's tortilla not been a green jalapeño one we wouldn't have no the difference.

Almost everything except the burritos are gluten free. The tacos I had were tasty and the bowl my girlfriend got was great too. Staff was helpful and friendly. A little bit on the expensive side for the portions we got

This place is great for celiac. The only thing that contains gluten is the tortilla for the burritos. Fryer is gluten free. The tacos are so good! They also have vegan cheese as well as an option for lettuce cups instead of corn tortillas.

Great GF and dairy free experience. Had a quesadilla with vegan cheese, chicken and mushrooms- and amazing churro bites with sauce. So good!

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.

I was unfortunately glutened here pretty bad despite initially being impressed with the precautions and GF options at first. I won’t be back, not worth the risk.
