I explained upon ordering that I have a severe gluten intolerance. They had zero idea what I was talking about. I ordered items they stated were safe. There is a ton of cross contamination here because I was so sick and in so much pain. So disappointed.
As long as I order off the “gluten conscious menu” (uploaded below) then I have not had any issues so far. Just ask for the menu!
Do not eat here!!! The staff has no idea what’s in their items and can’t put in an order correctly. I’ve been to this location twice and got sick both times. Go somewhere else, or if you REALLY want some Torchys, go to the one in San Antonio at the Quarry.

I have celiac and I got sick. Lots of cross contamination going on here
I had the mahi taco and was not a fan. Fish was tough and too salty. It also was lukewarm. Very disappointed.
Ask for the GF menu from the cashier and be pleasantly surprised by the many choices. My son has Celiac and will projectile vomit if there is cross contamination. We all had chips and guacamole (excellent), he had the GF green chile pork taco and I had the GF Independent taco (veggie). Everything tasted very fresh. The entire family enjoyed it!
Sooooo yummy! I love that they have an entire gluten free menu--and soft corn tortillas! The breakfast tacos are my fave.
Ask for GF Menu kept by register. Food was great. Margaritas were awesome ;)

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.
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
