Gluten Free at Tocaya

Both me and my sister (also celiac) have been here probably about 25 times. Don’t get sick. When I have gone in person the staff was knowledgeable but I have also ordered for delivery and been safe.

Vanessa was great and I informed her of my celiac/ severe gluten allergy. My burrito was delicious. It was hard to believe it was gluten free. I had it at 6 pm with no reaction that night or next morning. I think it’s necessary to inform them if you have celiac so that they can be careful to not cross contaminate

This was just ok, not worth the price and my gluten free quesadilla was not marked and if my fiance's tortilla not been a green jalapeño one we wouldn't have no the difference.

So many wonderful options and flavors. Much try.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My son is Celiac. This place has several gf options, and the staff asked about special dietary equirements/allergies. We used to go here before the diagnosis and always liked the food here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ate at the Camelback location. Almost everything on the menu was gluten free! Food was fresh and delicious with dairy-free, keto and vegan options as well. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. It’s not a GF kitchen, but I had no problems.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Make sure you ask them to change gloves and use a clean surface. Especially if you get GF burrito.

Explain celiac / allergy while ordering - staff take it very seriously and the manager came out personally to deliver my food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So many options. Fresh fast casual healthy-Mex. offer a low carb GF tortilla for burritos. Also have salads, bowls, quesadillas... so much to choose.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious safe food. Haven’t had a GF burrito in years! Vegan cheeses and creams too. Ate here both nights in San Diego.

Food was gone before I could even take a picture that did it justice. So so good! Staff is very educated! Place is small and busy which was a good sign! They have a gluten free burrito for goodness sakes! We got the burrito and also the gluten free quesadillas which were both so amazing!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Used to eat the tocaya chain 3-4x a week and they were great with preventing cross contamination. Kept getting sick because the corn tortillas started getting prepared on the same surface as the flour tortillas for the burritos. Now it seems like a cross contamination nightmare. When they’re making the burritos they use the same spoons to place the items on the tortilla which touch the flour tortilla then goes back into the food. For a fad dieter this may be ok but for a celiac it’s unacceptable. I’d stay clear if you’re very sensitive!

Celiac friendly?

No

Very friendly and knowledgeable about celiac. No gluten detected by Nima

Great food, i had gluten free mushroom quesadillas, really lovely.... casual eating type of establishment in a place called The Point which is a combo of shops, eateries, healthy pursuits. Most of the places to eat here would have had GF. No reaction so good find in El Segundo.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Clear gluten-free menu and a nice atmosphere. We had tacos and a bowl which were delicious. Recommended if you like Mexican style food. Close to the beach.

Celiac friendly?

I ordered the black bean and quinoa bowl with shrimp along with the St. Tropez tea. Wow, they did not disappoint. So fresh, healthy and delicious! Staff super friendly. Will definitely be back.

Celiac friendly?

Great selection of GF items. The flavors were excellent. Wonderful selection of fountain drinks. The strawberry basil was outstanding.

Celiac friendly?

I am celiac and the staff at this location seemed very uninformed about what that actually means. There was a mix up with my order and when I wanted to confirm that it was safe for me to eat, the staff gave me a hard time. I ended up sending it back and reordering again to be completely sure I got the correct meal. It’s good that their menu is mostly GF but since they do use flour tortillas, there is still a risk for CC. To me it felt more like a “trendy” GF spot as opposed to celiac safe.

GF indicated clearly on the menu, so

easy to choose from.

Now they offer Gluten Free BURRITOS!!

GF Tortilla:

-made with coconut & cassava flour

-very chewy

-does NOT fall apart like corn tortilla!

Menu clearly marked and staff seemed knowledgeable. Most tacos were spicier than I prefer but I’d go back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Largely gluten free menu made ordering easy, food was good and place is super cute.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent gluten free choices, staff very aware of Celiac issues, yummy food!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their online menu has a bit more information on what is gluten free and what is not, but the chips have a dedicated fryer and they have a great gluten free burrito.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Eat here frequently and at different locations. I have never had an issue (have DH so it’s obvious if contamination happens).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free burritos and almost everything is gluten free never have been sick here once and can eat the chips

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of gf items on the menu, the person taking our order seemed very familiar with gf needs. The large gluten culprit is flour tortillas- We asked about separate prep areas and were notified that the gluten free tortillas (for burritos) and corn tortillas (for tacos)are cooked on the same surface as the flour tortillas. We truly appreciated their transparency in this. Ordered a burrito bowl, which *seemed* safe. As of the next morning I do not have any significant symptoms or problems.

The food itself was FABULOUS, my husband and I both enjoyed it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pretty much everything was glutenfree, they even have glutenfree burritos. It was delicious. We’re planning on coming back again here since it was so good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent food and very knowledgeable. Lots of choices.

So good I came back again two days later.

This place is great and nearly everything is gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So safe for us to eat there and so delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a coconut ‘tortilla’ shell for the burritos and cauliflower rice. It is fast casual but the staff kept offering drink refills (they had a lot of great aguas frescas). The decor was very hip and comfortable. I will definitely be back to try other burrito combinations.

Awesome, new place in DTLA! Fresh menu with many GF options and any questions I have were taken to the friendly manager and chef! Chips are in common oil, but their guacamole looks so good I might bring my own safe chips to try it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free offerings marked on menu. Fairly healthy fare, extensive Mexican fusion options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very authentic tacos and bowls. Got to choose a base and the pick your protein and cheese of choice. Everything on the menu was gluten free except the burritos and quesadilla. Very cute and would definitely go back. The line was out the door so that shows how popular it was. You order at the counter and they bring you your food to enjoy in a nice outdoor or indoor seating area.

This place is amazing! Best tacos I’ve ever had. Everything is clearly marked on the menu.

The staff was knowledgeable and accommodating, they label their gluten free menu items

Incredible. Safe! I eat here regularly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything was gluten free except the burritos cause of the flour tortilla. I had the carne asada tacos and felt symptoms shortly after. Since there is a dedicated gluten free fryer I knew it wasn’t the tortilla chips and salsa. It must’ve been the taco corn shells cross contaminated in the heating process or something. But I do not feel well at all.

Celiac friendly?

No

So great! Literally everything is gluten free except the burrito wraps and staff is super helpful to make sure there’s no cross contamination from those. Food was amazing and totally safe!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Almost everything except the burritos are gluten free. The tacos I had were tasty and the bowl my girlfriend got was great too. Staff was helpful and friendly. A little bit on the expensive side for the portions we got

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is great for celiac. The only thing that contains gluten is the tortilla for the burritos. Fryer is gluten free. The tacos are so good! They also have vegan cheese as well as an option for lettuce cups instead of corn tortillas.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious fresh food and most is naturally gluten free!

Celiac friendly?

Love this place & almost everything is and is labeled as gluten free! Just can't have the burritos.
