Most of the menu is gluten free. Went twice with no issues. Had a guacamole and chips and some of the spicy chicken bowls.
All very tasty, quick and no problems.
Would really recomend for a quick tasty meal.
Fine dinner with gluten free fried fish tacos. Tasted great, but quite small so 3 from here equals 2 normal size. The organic margarita was so bitter it was undrinkable. The menu has a very long disclaimer stating that they cannot guarantee anything is gluten free due to the risk of cross contamination. Since the fish are pan fried by themselves I went with that.
Parking is limited to their 8 spots in the lot. Street parking is limited to residents after 6pm.
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.

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.
Loved this place. You can customize bowls to your liking. We were able to make it not spicy for my son. Delicious.
So knowledgeable about gluten free food and took great lengths to make sure my food was CELIAC SAFE. Also, the employees were so friendly and fun!
Tocaya has amazing GF options. Their Battered Fried Gluten Free fish tacos are crunchy and yummy!! Their vegan queso is my favorite queso anywhere!!
Went here 3 times when i stayed in LA! Lots of GF options, i had the tacos every time and absolutely loved them!
Delicious. Didn’t get sick. A bit pricy.
Menu items are marked. Food was very good and I did not get sick. Only wish the portion sizes were a little bigger for the price. $14 for a bowl that is about 3/4 the size of a chipotle bowl.
What a great place. GF quesadilla was delicious - super fresh veggies, great GF tortilla.
Menu clearly marked and staff seemed knowledgeable. Most tacos were spicier than I prefer but I’d go back!
Eat here frequently and at different locations. I have never had an issue (have DH so it’s obvious if contamination happens).

Have eaten here many times, never been sick. I am very sensitive so this is great for me. Totally recommend just make sure to let your waiter know you have a severe allergy and triple check that the chips are dried separately. Other than the you are good to eat!
Fantastic tacos! Burritos and bowls can be made GF as well.
The food was fine, if a little on the expensive side. I’m very sensitive to cross contact however, and I did get sick from a bowl that was marked as GF on the menu, even though I made sure to ask while ordering if it was a safe choice. I also explained that cross contact will make me sick, but there must have been some. I don’t know if it was because it was a busy day (the day before thanksgiving), but I won’t be going back.
The have GF “flour” tortilla for burritos and mini churros and many other GF options in their menu.
Lots of gf and vegan options and they have an allergen chart that spells out everything that’s gf. The Baja taco and churro bites were delicious.
