Torchy's Tacos

Best Mexican we have had while in Texas on this trip! Staff was great and this is during the Covid-19 situation. Restaurant is opened, also doing curbside and doordash. AMAZING FOOD!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Although not as many options as I would like, they have always been helpful when notifying me of questionable ingredients and even taken special time to make a taco-of-the-month for me! I will say I have gotten sick a couple of times at various locations, but that is also the risk you take when eating out. (Celiac for 12 years)

Arrived at 1 on a Saturday and the place was understandably packed. After waiting for about 15/20 minutes in line I ordered two tacos (the democrat and the pulled pork) and a side of the sweet corn and chips. These were, hands down, the best tacos I have ever had.

My order was labeled on the receipt as gluten free with an allergy stamp in big capitals and someone hand delivered it back to the kitchen with an explanation instead of just ringing through the computer.

The fountain drinks were by Maine Root and delicious. The atmosphere was fun and loud but very clean. The tacos were incredible. I'll be back soon.

Amazing food, atmosphere, and staff at all of their locations. Their gluten free menu is extensive. Their queso is delicious and I've had almost all of the gluten free tacos and I havent been disappointed! My two favorites are the one with the mushroom, and the one with the barbacoa.

Just so you know, the one with the mushroom, and the one with the avocado, have the mushroom and avocado covered in cornmeal. It freaked me out when I got it, but then saw it was just cornmeal so it's safe to eat, and it was nice to have some change like that!

It REALY, REALLY, REALLY (did I say really) saddens me to write this review, this place is very cool, the staff durning my visit was extremely friendly and the food tasted wonderful.... BUT, if you have Celiac with sensitivity to cross contamination then Torchy's isn't for you unfortunately. It's really sad that there are so few places such as this business that cannot provide safe options for people with Celiac without causing serious negative health side effects. If you're gluten free because of a lifestyle choice then this is a wonderful option. Sorry for the negative review, I was truly hopeful.

Great GF options, but was VERY concerned when I got my food and one of the items was wrong. Ordered the fresh avocado taco and got the battered avocado taco, which told me there was a disconnect with the kitchen staff since the order label said in bold red GLUTEN ALLERGY. I did not eat that taco, but everything else and was fine.

When ordering online, they let you know What allergens are present in the item and allow you to make adjustments and mark ‘gluten allergy’ and each item. As of February 2021, they do NOT have a dedicated fryer so chips cannot be considered gluten-free.
