Tocaya

Used to eat the tocaya chain 3-4x a week and they were great with preventing cross contamination. Kept getting sick because the corn tortillas started getting prepared on the same surface as the flour tortillas for the burritos. Now it seems like a cross contamination nightmare. When they’re making the burritos they use the same spoons to place the items on the tortilla which touch the flour tortilla then goes back into the food. For a fad dieter this may be ok but for a celiac it’s unacceptable. I’d stay clear if you’re very sensitive!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent food and very knowledgeable. Lots of choices.

Lots of options including churros! Husband is celiac and didn’t get glutened. It is an order and sit kind of place but very pretty. The person that took our order was very knowledgeable.

I got sick here despite the precautions taken. Not worth it :( although a lot of options are GF, the risk of cross contamination is way too high. I would never recommend to another person who has celiac disease.

I loooooove this place. I haven’t gotten sick there ever and I have celiac disease! Their fryer is celiac safe so you can have battered fish and so many other delicious options. It’s a little pricey, but to me worth it

We went here for lunch since I saw this establishment on this app… I thought it would be safe. I had a Fajita Del Ray bowl and we did order a side of Queso and Chips. I had a few chips and a little Queso and boy did I have a stomach ache and felt terrible all day long. Not what I wanted visiting my kids here in LA… ask questions before you order! We ordered on line, maybe that’s our error.

Meh. Lots of GF options, but the quality of food is underwhelming. The plantain chips were so hard they tasted burnt. The egg in the burrito had the texture of microwaved eggs. Definitely pass if you want good food.
