Gluten Free at Blue Coast Burrito

goos i found a hair in mine bad workers

Celiac friendly?

No

Most items on the menu are gluten free. They tell me that their chips are fried in shared oil (unlike some of the reviews below) so I stay away from them and flour tortillas. Just make sure you tell them every time you eat there about your needs. I get nervous that they change things often.

The bowl is a great option and it is very filling

When I let the servers know my daughter had celiac, they changed gloves and they got all her nacho toppings from new containers under the buffet so there was no chance of cross contamination. She is sensitive and has obvious reactions when glutened, but she had no trouble after eating here. We’ll be back!

This is from their website: DID YOU KNOW? That almost our entire menu is gluten free? That’s right! At Blue Coast we don’t want allergies to get in the way of our customers enjoying a meal, so we give the extra effort to make sure everything (with the exception of the flour tortillas and the baja fish) from the meats to the freebies are GLUTEN FREE! If you have an acute allergy, please note that the corn tortillas and the chips are made in a facility that also processes wheat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

When I asked if they have options for gluten allergy and they responded “no.”

Tried the grilled chicken taco salad with chipotle honey mustard dressing. Very tasty. I did not speak with anyone in the kitchen but their website has an allergen page and I felt comfortable eating here based on that.

Great staff; they try to be very careful.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food here is great, but a change (laziness) in their food handling practices have made it so that I get sick from CC every visit. I discussed it with the owner, but nothing changed. I no longer eat there.

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was not good at all. I wouldn't eat there even if I didn't have Celiac!

Celiac friendly?

No

The staff is awesome and the gluten free procedure is amazing, but the overall quality and taste of the food is cardboard and dull.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff weren’t super knowledgeable, but the restaurant itself is almost entirely gluten free, as stated on their website. They do carry flour tortillas and their Baja fish contains gluten. But I had delicious carnitas tacos on corn tortillas with several fixins and no symptoms.

The Cabo bowls are great for those of us with Celiac! Never gotten sick here and I have been here several times!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They always know exactly what I’m talking about when I say “gluten allergy”— never been glutened by them! They also always change their gloves and use fresh ingredients for me.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

More cautious than Jason's Deli - that's saying a lot!

Celiac friendly. Just let them know your Celiac before you order. They get clean utincles. pull from the fridge. Food is good. I had a taco salad.

Employee immediately took off her gloves and washed her hands thoroughly when I said it must be Gluten Free! She also opened new bags of cheese and Pico for my bowl! It was fantastic and I didn't get sick. Highly recommended!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ordered gluten free taco salad. They changed gloves, got a clean serving spoon wrapped in paper towel as they moved they assembly, pull ingredients from fresh containers in frig. I am not celiac but choose gluten free. So a little cross contamination would have been ok but I did not want to interfere with their process. Great job Blue Coast and its staff in Cookeville TN. Food was fresh and tasty! Will never go to Taco Bell again!

I told the young man I have celiac and he changed his gloves without me asking. He handled my order freon start to finish. And he didn't use the topping that were out. he pulled from the fresh untouched stuff in the refrigerator below. he seemed to totally get it.

went in asked them about GF options. They went over all their items. basically everything has to be bowl. none of the wraps for burrito or tacos are GF. I had a burrito bowl, no problem at all. they do not have a GF menu, with that said their menu is a board on the wall. would be nice if they could add GF or V for Vegan. I was a little nervous about eating there. one of their workers came out and talked to me, which made me feel better.

Sloppy handling of cross contaminants. Got sick. Not returning there.

Celiac friendly?

No

They are not careful. Most things have a possible chance of cross contamination. Service unfriendly.

Delicious food and many GF options. In fact, everything on the menu is GF with the exception of flour tortillas!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

i love chosing my own items to go on my nachos.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Successful gluten free night at a new place for us. We had the nachos with chicken, rice, cheese and veggies. And their fruit tea was great.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

celiac friendly, vegetarian & vegan friendly

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious and very friendly and knowledgable. They washed their hands and got ingredients from separate containers to avoid cross contamination. My burrito salad was overflowing so tasty! Definitely coming back! ..... Follow up: that evening I was hunched over in pain. Unfortunately there was cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

Sooo good!! They didn't have a separate gluten free menu. I had tacos and nachos. This place is set up similarly to chipotle. It was very very good! Definitely not celiac friendly but great for those with gluten intolerances.

Celiac friendly?

No

All main menu items are gluten free! Changed gloves when handling my food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is a very celiac friendly place with very knowledgeable staff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Burrito in the Buff is the best

Fantastic find! Ashlee made my chicken tortilla soup - she gets it!! Her mom has Celiac I think so she was so careful. Changed gloves and washed her hands without me asking but also got all my toppings from dedicated containers to avoid cross contamination.

Great food and I can feel confident I will be safe!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

its a nice place and their trying but their just not celiac friendly... after eating here I was extremely sick!

Celiac friendly?

No

They are awesome! Everything they have is gluten free - except their fish and their flour tortillas (they have corn as a great alternative) . Their chips are also corn based. If you are super sensitive, just be aware that the corn tortillas are made in the same facility as flour tortillas, so there is a possibility of cross-contamination before they even reach the store. This is a California Baja-Style food which is all FRESHLY made right in the kitchen. Homemade salsas (the pineapple is my favorite), homemade dressings, meat is never frozen and is marinated overnight. Their beans are not cooked with meat, so there are great vegan and vegetarian options. Lots of fresh veggies to cover everything with. It's great because you build what you want the way you want it. If you let them know that you are gluten free, they will change their gloves, one person goes down the entire line with you so as not to cross-contaminate. Great staff, deliciously healthy food, fun atmosphere. WOW! Gotta stop in and try it out! You'll love it.
