Torchy's Tacos

Got breakfast burritos to go and they were really good they did not lable them and had to compare to other gluten orders to determine which one was corn vs flour, easy to tell, but wish they labeled them. Came with a bag of sauces but had no idea if they were safe or not to eat. so I avoided it.

Didn't get sick at all. Lady that took my order seemed knowledgeable.

I like this location I have never had a reaction. I was told the chips are not in a separate fryer and not celiac safe.

I'm a sensitive celiac and have good luck here. Really tasty.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

server had to take food back to kitchen as they had not followed allergy instructions plus it was just not that great would not eat there again

If you are celiac or very sensitive to gluten, do not eat the chips and salsa! The corn chips are fried in a fryer that is NOT a dedicated gluten free fryer.

They have a whole laminated GF menu if you ask for it, lots of options on corn tortillas, and side of corn and chips & salsa, and even a great GF brownie! Nice to take the whole family and everyone can eat tasty food.

Celiac friendly but thought my tacos weren't all that great. My brother loves this place. I'd go back, though.

Yummy lots of options. Celiac friendly!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu including tacos and brownies. They did 'forget' to provide the gluten free version once, but generally it has been decent.

Lots of options!!! So fresh and affordable also.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gluten free menu! Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Tacos.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is my go-to chain restaurant if I need to pick up fast food. The kids love the tacos, and we have yet to have any cross-contamination issues in the four years since my son’s diagnosis. Not one accidental gluten incident. Corn tortillas don’t fall apart after the first bite like most corn tortillas which is key for my son. Great option to have in our area.

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.
