This location we have always had good counter service and the food is always fresh. Bowls, tacos, and nachos can all be made gluten free. We have always gotten the spicy chicken with no issues. Typically really fast and Tuesdays the tacos are really inexpensive

Staff had absolutely zero knowledge about gluten safety. When I informed them I have a severe gluten allergy, which is what I always say because most people don't know what celiac is, the cashier just said uhhhh it has rice.... can you eat tortilla chips? I should have turned around and left right then but it was after a very long day, I was tired and in a hurry and it was late, everything else closed etc so I rolled the dice and got the steak nachos since the menu designates a bunch of items as gf and.. lo and behold... I'm now extremely sick from gluten poisoning and get to spend the entire rest of my vacation in pure agony. Avoid this place like the plague.

Im confused about the good reviews. Its “gluten free” but not safe at all? The chips are fried in shared fryer with breaded fish, the corn tortillas are pressed and heated on same area as flour. Queso not GF. Hard corn are safe but thats it. Idk how much I would trust anything. The corn elote is also in the deep fryer sadly

It's Mexican takeout, although you can eat there. The food is a step from fast food, there are some healthier choices, and they nail gluten free. If you're in Sunset Beach, this is a go- to for an inexpensive, quick, friendly meal. They have their own parking lot, which is important because parking in the area is expensive and hard to find.

Great place! We ate here twice while on vacation and I didn’t get sick once! They have their menu items clearly marked for what is gluten free. They asked for me to order last when I said I had a gluten allergy so that they could make sure to switch gloves. They work really hard to get it right.

Beware - there are some menu items that are gluten free but not necessarily celiac safe. Their chips are fried in a shared fryer so the nachos aren’t safe.

Told the staff I had a gluten allergy before ordering food and they immediately turned around and told the staff to change their gloves which made me feel extra safe. GF labels on the menu and the staff if very knowledgeable about gluten. I had chicken tacos with corn tortillas as they come. Delicious, filling, and no reaction afterwards which was great! Would definitely return if I am back in the area in the future

Menu is clearly marked with what's gluten-free and what's not. Tacos, tostadas, nachos are all gluten-free, plus there are several different meats to choose from. Rice is gluten-free as well, and the various toppings and salsas are. I'm not sure if they're celiac friendly, because I'm not celiac, however most cross-contamination does affect me, and I did not get a migraine. Pretty tasty for a pretty good price. The treasure Island location is a storefront and not a food truck.

Enjoyed a El Borrito bowl with the pork, rice, black beans, lettuce, cheese, and pico. Added the yummy salsa verde. The non-GF family members all liked their meal also. Would return!

As soon as I said I had an allergy, they offered a glove change and ensured there was no cross contamination. I got a ground beef rice bowl and it was delicious. I will be back. Also, did you know power-aid can help with heat exhaustion? They have all the flavors in their soda machine.

The young woman working at the counter was dialed in on what was GF, items were marked and she reiterated what I could and could not have. The Mexican rice is gluten free and she even told me how they prepare it. I did not get sick from this meal and it was good!!

The website was very transparent about what items had cross contamination and what items were gluten free. I ended up making my own kind of bowl by ordering gluten free sides and mixing them together in a bowl. It was very delicious and there were tons of sides I could’ve added. I ended up with shredded chicken, sour cream, beans, rice and cheese. All the items are gluten free and the staff who took my order knew exactly what I was talking about.

I asked what menu items could be gluten free. They made blacked fish special for my fish tacos which are usually beer battered. Changed there gloves with out me having to ask. There is no special area so cross contamination could happen but they tried to ensure that didn't happen. I didn't get sick. 🙂

Ordered thru uber eats. Yummy. Not celiac- dont react to cross contamination

The menu will lead you to believe that this is a knowledgeable gluten-friendly establishment -however they cross contaminate the tacos by putting them in the warmer which also warms flour tacos. They didn’t even know to change their gloves or to use a new ladle. Fingers crossed.

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was good. The staff the night I was there wasn't knowledgeable, they warm the corn tortillas in the same place as the flour so beware of cross contamination

This place is awesome! So knowledgeable and the food was delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Menu with clear marked GF options. Staff seems fairly knowledgeable about GF. Food really good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not celiac safe. We ordered online and ended up with completely wrong order. Made it very clear that child had celiac and she got breaded chicken tacos. Couldn’t get refund or new order. Very disappointed.

Celiac friendly?

No

I just wanted to add this location. Menu is labeled GF. Friendly staff. Oh, USF discount too.

DO NOT believe the GF markings on the menu!! The chips and tostadas are friend in a shared frier with beer battered fish, empanadas, etc, and are NOT gf. They will put your corn tortillas in between pieces of wax paper to toast them in the press shared with wheat tortillas, I don't really trust that. So I ordered a bowl, which is basically what you can get at Chipotle. Staff was friendly but not very knowledgeable. They changed gloves. The taste was fine, and being built into a gas station and seemingly open 24/7(?) Pretty convenient for a quick bite of real food. I'm writing this as I'm eating so hopefully there was no cross contamination behind the scenes beforehand. Two stars because it tastes good but there are incorrect markings and therefore actually a quite limited selection.

Tasty, small corn tortillas, vegan cheese. Quick, fast food type, quality was OK.

Celiac friendly?

No

it is not celiac safe.

Celiac friendly?

No

Lots of gluten free options here! Have not gotten sick and have been here over 5 times. Definitely my go to.

Good, affordable, fresh food. I had no issues with my gluten free order. We're on vacation and will be back before we leave! Yumm!

The tacos we ordered for take out were not very good. We tossed them out.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So disappointing and tear inducing for my son. Yes! There are tons of GF symbols on the menu, but sadly they use the same fryer for everything and the cashier said "oh, I never thought of that before."

Celiac friendly?

No

Delicious! Everything is marked GF or Vegan on the menu on the wall, food is good, pretty cheap and it's impossible to find good late night food when you are GF-yay!

Several gluten free options clearly listed on the menu. Vegetarian and vegan options also clearly marked.
