What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free tacos (as indicated by a restaurant owner in correspondence)
- Gluten-free nachos
- Gluten-free plates (as described by the owner)
- Burrito bowls with grilled chicken, rice, and beans
- Tortilla chips (corn-based) that were described as not cross-contaminated in the fryer
- Salsa, guacamole, and queso trio with chips (reported as safe in at least one dining experience)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not listed as a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means there is always some inherent cross-contamination risk when gluten-containing items are prepared nearby.
- While staff show a pattern of awareness and communication about celiac orders, the lack of a dedicated GF facility means continued vigilance is wise—especially for items that share fryers, surfaces, or prep areas.
- Individual experiences vary, and although several diners reported safe outcomes, others emphasize the need to explicitly confirm current procedures and ingredient handling at the time of your visit.
