What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burrito bowls (noted as having no wheat to begin with in at least one account).
- Bowls or tacos that can be prepared with corn tortillas for gluten-free options.
- Food that can be served in a bowl without a tortilla (sometimes available at the burrito price).
- Some items may be labeled or described as gluten-free by staff in recent experiences; you may want to confirm with the server about cross-contact precautions.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, which means cross-contact risk exists in general kitchen operations.
- Mixed staff knowledge levels have been reported, with some accounts describing difficulty communicating cross-contamination risks.
- Chips reportedly may contain flour, limiting safe snack options like nachos; corn tortillas are the safer alternative for many dishes.
- Positive signals exist (glove-changing practices, dedicated fryers for corn chips in some experiences, and some reports that all meats were gluten-free), but these are not guaranteed across all visits or all kitchen stations.
- The most reliable path is to clearly communicate your needs, ask about glove changes, fryer usage, and whether any shared equipment could affect your meal, and choose items explicitly prepared with corn tortillas or bowls.
