What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Corn tortillas (house-made) are identified as safe in at least one guest experience, and several menu notes emphasize gluten-free preparation with tortilla-based items cooked on GF surfaces when requested.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Chips and some fried items have historically been a cross-contamination concern due to fryers not being dedicated. Recent evidence suggests dedicated GF fryers exist or can be used for GF orders, but this isn’t guaranteed in every visit.
- A few experiences mention inconsistency with staff communication or with multiple servers during busy periods, which can raise the risk of mixed information about what is GF.
- Because the restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, there remains an inherent, non-zero risk of cross-contact, especially if diners don’t explicitly communicate their needs or if the kitchen workflow is busier than usual.
