The person who took my order was very knowledgeable about the menu and which items contained gluten and were safe. Food was absolutely delicious!

The food was good and they have a gluten free menu (although I had to pull it up on my phone). I was a little nervous, because I’m not really sure what sort of precautions they took even though I informed them Im gluten free… I started to feel pretty cruddy not long after. I can’t 100% attribute it to them, but I’m not sure I’ll be returning either.

Due to the hand crafted nature of our food, variations in our supplier ingredients, and our use of shared cooking and preparation areas, we cannot ensure that our food is free from any allergens. We prepare our foods following procedures to prevent allergen cross-contact, but products containing wheat are made in our kitchens.
I’m impressed by this place. The fact that they are tasty, affordable, and always super busy and can accommodate food allergies is awesome. I’ve eaten here 10+ times and never gotten sick. It’s a regular spot!

The disclaimer says it all. Eat at your own risk. Also, it seems to always take way too long just to get some chips and queso….way too long.

They have a big GF menu and are really helpful. Can’t go wrong with tacos!
Yes
Didn't feel good after some of the orders, felt fine other times.
They have a whole separate gluten free menu and they tell the staff when you have an allergy. The tacos are still delicious gluten free!
Yes
The democrat tacos are great! But get corn tortillas and don't be silly
Yes
Staff seemed knowledgeable but gluten free menu is not accurate. Chips are listed as gf but are fried in shared oil with flour. Will be staying away until menu issues are fixed.
No
I've ordered the Democrat tacos off of the gluten free menu twice and gotten sick both times
No
Love their breakfast tacos!
Love love love Torchey's!!! We eat here all the time and I have never once gotten sick! Most everything can be made gluten free and their margaritas are so good!
Yes
Love their gluten free options! Delicious place to eat!
Summary -
Yummy but had issues ordering from the gluten conscious menu and chips are in shared fryer.
Story -
When I asked the server about gluten they immediately brought over the manager. Manager was great! They brought me the “gluten conscious” menu, explained that the chips are fried separately but the oil from both fryers are combined (so not GF but listed on the menu). I ordered the baja shrimp taco and the brisket taco on corn tortillas, mentioning the gluten allergy/menu to the server.
When the food came out, the shrimp was breaded and fried (so not GF), so we sent back with the server to redo. Then we realized that my partner’s burrito had vegan meat instead of the beef he ordered (burritos are not GF). He mentioned to manager who happened to walk by. Manager went back to kitchen and didn’t come back out until our food was out and correct. Everything was really good, including the mexican rice and street corn sides.
We tried to pay but the manager comped our meal. Very nice!
There is a bar and specialty cocktails but we didn’t try any.

I told the server I had celiac disease, explicitly asked her to indicate that I was GF on my ticket, and she did not. She also told me the chips are cooked in the same fryer as everything else, so I did not have any. Anyway, I ordered the airstream salad with the grilled chicken and have been sick all day :(

The person behind the counter seemed a bit unsure in dealing with gluten free requests, but then she also couldn't tell me what white wine they had, so she must have been new. Be sure to look at the "gluten conscious" menu to know your options before you order. That said, the chips are made in a dedicated fryer, and the queso and GF tacos we picked were great.

This location is great. Plenty of seating and the food is always good. Unfortunately they don’t have a dedicated fryer so bring your own chips so you can enjoy some of the best Queso in the Austin area.
