The first 2 times I went were great. I ordered 2 breakfast tacos the first time and the barbacoa and brisket tacos the 2nd time and had no issues. They were curteous and everything came out quickly.
The last time I went I stated gluten allergy and she put it on the order. I ordered the fresh avocado and the barbacoa to go. When I got back to work to eat them I noticed the fresh avocado was actually fried. I ate it anyway and oh boy was I hurting later. Normally just a little bit of gluten doesn't bother me so I don't know if there was more than just the avocados that were contaminated or what. They title their gluten free menu as gluten conscious so maybe that should have told me to double check. I will eat there again but will be a lot more cognizant as the food is really good and the staff is friendly.
All of their tacos have a corn tortilla option! Great food! And they made sure to be careful when preparing the food!

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
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.
