Torchy's Tacos

Went because I saw the GF “sensitive” menu and the other reviews but unfortunately my Nima gluten sensor detected gluten in my crossroads taco : ( this was at the one on Penn

Celiac friendly?

No

GF menu is nice. I have eaten here a few times and have not gotten ill. They marked everything down gf when they took my order and it was clear on the receipt.

Gluten free menu is large and tasty. Had a Democrat taco and guacamole and chips, plus a frozen margarita. No dedicated kitchen space but worked for me.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Told them I was celiac. Ordered my tacos separate from the rest of the family. Was definitely glutened. I should have known better. Do not eat here if celiac is my advice. No matter how badly you want Torchy’s. :)

I generally am able to go to Torchy's Tacos without any issues, but have had problems with this particular location on numerous occasions. In the past, I have come to this location with a non-gluten free friend and they have served our tacos together, even though I specified that could not eat gluten. They appear to not have any idea about cross contact and I no longer feel safe to eat here as someone with Celiac disease.

The gluten sensitive menu has some fun choices. BUT is not all celiac safe. The dedicated fryer for corn chips is often used for flour products. The corn tortillas are on the same grill with the flour. Thankfully the manager had experience with celiac and warned me.

That said, they went out of the way to make me the best taco bowl I’ve ever had. And I did not get sick. Soooo good.

This torchy’s is not great at gluten free food. Staff is not knowledgeable. Even though they are supposed to use a separate fryer for chips they don’t. You have to ask for the specific gluten friendly menu.
