What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Tacos and other menu items made with corn tortillas (gluten-free by the common practice described in multiple reviews).
- Tamales and other items prepared from corn masa (as noted in GF-focused discussions).
- Chips and fried items that are prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer (explicitly mentioned in several recent accounts).
- No flour tortillas are used for the gluten-free-focused items (one review explicitly notes that no flour tortillas are used; corn is the standard for GF options).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- This is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists whenever shared equipment or prep areas are used.
- There is at least one older report of illness linked to GF chips, underscoring the importance of explicit communication about your needs and confirming current practices with staff.
- Sandwich bread on the menu contains gluten, so those items are not suitable for a celiac-restricted diet without careful modification.
