Gluten-Free at Rusty Taco

Just tried the queso and guacamole. They were decent, but after being able to see the prep area some I would trust to not have cross-contamination with the tacos.

No dedicated fryer, so nothing fried is safe at all! They said that they would make me a taco in a skillet to keep it really safe, however, I still don't feel overly confident. Be careful!

Staff was super helpful and knowledgeable. Walked me through all of their ingredients used in each of their tacos. They changed their gloves and cleaned the grill

I got the steak tacos with corn tortillas and didn’t have any issues

Margs are gluten-free. I eat the chips and queso there but I don’t think they are that careful about cross-contamination, I wouldn’t trust the tacos or other food there

Had the breakfast tacos. No symptoms but was concerned about cross contamination there’s one open griddle to make all food. Open kitchen so you can see the process. Would recommend asking cook to change gloves.

This is right next to ASU’s campus. Fun ambiance. Good outdoor patio/bar space. Large TVs with sports on. Came here on a Saturday afternoon during a college football game. It wasn’t very busy so keep that in mind as the service I got may differ if it were slammed. Ordered at the bar and the bartender was friendly and helpful. He for out the allergy chart to confirm correct information. All tacos except the ones with fried meat can be made GF on corn tortillas. After I ordered the bartender went to the kitchen to tell them to be sure to clean the grill, change gloves, etc. When they brought the food out they said they put it in a separate pan so it shouldn’t have touched anything. Had the Green Street and Rusty tacos (both pork). They were delicious. They have breakfast tacos served all day. Also had a prickly pear margarita on the rocks. Didn’t get sick. Would eat here again.

Used to be really good about cross-contamination, but are no longer safe. They expanded the menu to have many more flour tortillas instead of just the one. Would no longer recommend for celiac. Sad because it was really tasty.

I just ate here for the first time. I have celiac and typically react with 15-20 minutes if something contains gluten. I’m sitting here an hour later happy as a clam and full of DELICIOUS tacos!

We have been here a few times. A few months ago we called to place a to go order and we were told they were too busy to accommodate the allergen preparations. We stopped by again last week and were pleasantly surprised by the managers response this time. He told us no matter how busy they are they will take the time. He personally oversaw our food and even came to the table to advise one of the toppings he was not confident was gf and asked if I wanted it on the side or subbed. I skipped it but was so happy he was transparent about the situation.

The chips are not safe but all three salsas are. They have the salsa in little “to go” style containers in a little fridge.

Went based on recommendations here - not only did the person taking orders have no idea what was gf, neither did the TWO cooks preparing the food. We left & walked half a block to an AMAZING place where all but a few sides are GF.

Went in on a Friday night and it wasn’t too packed. Went straight to the counter to order and the employee had no idea what was gluten free or not and had no clue of cross contamination procedures. Made me a little worried. Then he still gave me tacos in four tortillas. I was blown away by his lack of knowledge and care. The nachos were on par with bar food. Nothing special here.

The food is all cooked on the same flattop that also contains gluten products. This place is not gluten-free and is not celiac safe. Corn tortillas, protein and corn is all cooked on the same flattop. The BBQ sauce is not gluten-free.

Before a road trip my mom grabbed this for us, the second she said gf to the worker they explained what was gf, how their fryers are dedicated gluten free, they change their gloves for gf orders, and lots of other protocols. Needless to say felt very safe with eating it and it was delicious!

Good food. Celiac friendly. They'll cook chicken, etc in separate pan. Beef and pork are cooked in oven and safe anyway. Tell them you have celiac and they'll give you allergen menu and take good care.. I've eaten here several times.

I was so looking forward to getting gluten-free chips since they are fried in a separate fryer. Disappointment sat in fast. They couldn't tell me what meat, sauce, etc was gluten-free. I was just given a 'I think so'. No guide was available. No Mexican food today 😢

Good food! The worker wasn’t very knowledgeable but I felt comfortable eating here due to the allergens marked on their website. The cashier didn’t know what was gluten free. It tasted like a glorified chipotle but I’d eat here again.

Most of the tacos are gluten free on corn tortillas and they are pretty good! I like the rusty, pulled pork, and brisket. I wish they had a GF version of their Tex mex taco though.

Asked several questions about the gluten free menu options and told them I had celiac. I ordered corn tortillas, and realized halfway through one taco they had given me flour. I didn’t receive and apology or refund. They remade one on corn but I did not feel comfortable eating it.

Most of the tacos are corn tortilla but are cooked on the same surface as flour tortillas. If you ask they will cook them separately but it takes longer. Fryer is not dedicated so chips are not celiac friendly.

Staff was on top of it. Clearly communicated my celiac-related gluten sensitivity to the food preparers, packaged the items separately and marked them. All with a friendly smile. Plus great food - we’ll absolutely be back.

Just went there for lunch with colleagues last week. was told flat out by the cashier NOT to eat there if I was a celiac. (so I had a glass of water instead)

They are gluten free "friendly", but not at all concerned about doing anything to avoid cross contamination. All flour & corn tortillas are cooked on same grill.
