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 :(
ate twice here - lots of gf options, kitchen very clean and responsive. tacos very good, so are the chips and queso! yum! best part - didn’t get sick!
I love that I can eat their chips & queso! The guacamole is great. My favorite taco is the green Chile pork.

I mean, it’s possible, but they follow the alerts on the ticket really well so as long as the server writes it down
Killer tacos, great guac, although pretty damn spicy, chips are gf, never been sick here. Lots of options, probably 65? Percent of the menu can be gf, definitely try the Democrat taco and the fried avocado (unfried though) (it’s straight up just like huge chunks of avocado and beans but it’s freakin tasty)
Apparently their non-gf tacos are also really good
I’ve tried eating here a few times, and every time I get sick. I’m Celiac, I order off of the gluten friendly menu, and talk to them about allergies. I suspect they don’t understand how to be safe in their kitchen.
They have a GF menu. The green chili taco was awesome!
This place is kind of hit or miss with being Celiac friendly. I definitely got a taco on a flour tortilla after talking with the girl who took my order about Celiac and gluten. The food is very good and cheap and filling, but it’s risky.
GF queso and chips are the bomb - they have GF tacos too - but I recommend trying to go off hours - I worry about CC when they are super swamped!
Staff was not attentive and tacos were way spicy for me. I also had to send two back because they came out with gluten. Would not recommend.
We love Torchy’s! We have been eating Torchys Tacos for years in Austin and we’re over the moon they opened in Denver! My son and I have the allergy and we make sure we order taco bowls off the GF menu (oddly you have to ask for it at this location vs it being in the menu bins)
Asked for a non-fried avacado taco twice in a row after explaining that my girlfriend has celiac disease. Twice in a row we've had to send it back because they gave us fried avacado in the taco.
Even worse, after we make the order and emphasize the gluten free and please don't fry it, they tell us they understand when they clearly dont.
This place is always busy. There are plenty of gf tacos on the menu and the chips and guacamole and salsa are GF too. The frenetic pace worried me but I've been here twice and didn't get sick. Try the Crossroads taco. So good!
Several GF options, but a lot of cross-contamination. I've eaten here twice. The first time I felt off, like extremely mild contamination. Then the other night I was horribly sick by the time we left. It's two days later and I'm still having major reaction. I very clearly told them it was an allergy, and was reassured they would be careful.
Excellent tacos at a decent price. Most of their menu items are GF. Let the staff know you're GF and they will mark it in your order.

Update!!! Good lesson in staying vigilant. Went back a couple of weeks ago and ordered my normal “safe” option. Fortunately the manager took my order, and caught that the recipe had recently changed and it was no longer GF (beer added to the marinade)! Dang! She did share a printed GF menu (attached) - will always ask for going forward.
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.
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
