Update!!! Good lesson in staying vigilant. Went back a couple of weeks ago and ordered my normal “safe” option. Fortunately the manager took my order, and caught that the recipe had recently changed and it was no longer GF (beer added to the marinade)! Dang! She did share a printed GF menu (attached) - will always ask for going forward.
Good tacos with lots of protein. Plan ahead by looking at their website for GF options and ask order to be flagged as GF. All is made in back, and I don’t know about their kitchen protocols. I get the same thing every time I go and feel safe with that.
Love the Bacon, egg and cheese taco on corn Tortillas! Tell them it's for a gluten allergy and they are careful!

I love Torchy’s, they typically understand gluten. I have on occasion had a questionable experience, but this location is FABULOUS. The manager (Katy) said she would take special care that my order was safe. It was a great lunch.
Celiac’s should feel safe and welcomed here.
The gluten sensitive menu has some fun choices. BUT is not all celiac safe. The dedicated fryer for corn chips is often used for flour products. The corn tortillas are on the same grill with the flour. Thankfully the manager had experience with celiac and warned me.
That said, they went out of the way to make me the best taco bowl I’ve ever had. And I did not get sick. Soooo good.

Delicious! They have a “gluten conscious” menu online and will note that the order needs to be gluten free if you ask when ordering. I got the chicken fajita and fresh avocado tacos, and both were great if a little spicy (I have a low spice tolerance). The manager stopped by our table while we were eating and brought us free chips and queso when we said it was our first time there. He explained that they have a dedicated fryer for the chips and even brought out a bag of the cheese they use so I could confirm it was gluten free. Overall, it was a great experience!
I went even after reading the previous review. We informed the staff when taking our order that I could not have gluten as it will make me sick. I was I formed that they would mark my food with a note so there was no cross contamination. Before we left, I was starting to have reactions to the food and it’s the only thing I have ate today. Will not be going back.
I had heard good things about Torchy's from GF friends, but the Cashier was not at all informed on GF. She assured me that the kitchen was well informed and could wipe things down, use separate utensils, etc. But they brought me a taco with fried tortilla strips on it, even after we had talked about the fact that their chips are not gluten free like they claim, since there's a shared fryer. I didn't eat it, to be safe. Definitely wouldn't recommend
They have a Gluten Sensitive menu including soft corn tortillas, salad, burrito bowl, queso, tots, corn, beans, and rice.
