Very sensitive celiac-good experience. The server asked if I had an allergy when I enquired about gluten-free foods. I said yes and he sent over the manager to take my order. My salad originally came with a fried ingredient. the manager noticed and took it away to have it remade. The food was delicious. The Sundae was incredible.

Separate gluten free menu including tortilla chips. Staff was knowledgeable and willing to ask the chef if they didn’t know. Delicious food!

I loved eating here! The manager sat me, and when I asked for a gluten free menu he immediately asked if it was allergy or preference. Everything I ate came out with an allergy tag, and he said that managers are the only ones allowed to handle allergy marked food. I had pico and tortilla chips (which I was assured were safe), he clarified the modifications he was making to make sure my food was safe, and the menu even clarified the difference between celiac and preference safe food. Definitely stop by at Paddington!

I visited this location twice on holiday in December and once this week and all experiences have been great! The menu is well labeled and even notes which items that are fried in a cross contaminated fryer. The manager takes the order and checks it before going to the table to ensure that proper allergy protocols have been used, they told me if it doesn’t have an allergy flag DO NOT eat it. This time I ordered the Pork Tacos and the Beef Gringa tacos, both were outstanding and would recommend to anyone who dines here.

Went for lunch. Met the standards of the chain which is very focused on gluten allergies. GF isn’t marked on the main menu but there is a dedicated sub-menu showing the GF options and the risk of contamination options (mostly deep fried options). Employees take allergies very (almost too) seriously. The available food appears to be exactly the same as non-GF, only marked. Really enjoyed it here.

I had a great experience eating here. I told the server I was celiac. He brought a gluten free menu and had the manager come and specifically help me with my order. The food was tasty and marked with a flag that said “Allergy”.
