What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free corn tortillas for tacos (explicitly noted in reviews)
- Salads prepared gluten-free (mentioned as an option)
- Veggie tacos prepared on a surface that, on at least one occasion, hadn’t been used for gluten-containing foods that day (with caveats discussed with staff)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility; cross-contact risk is present.
- A house-made nacho/cheese chip option is fried in a fryer that may be contaminated with gluten, according to recent feedback.
- Some gluten-free options are limited, and a few items would require careful modification and kitchen checks to reduce risk.
- Staff are described as knowledgeable about gluten allergies and cross-contamination, and some diners report that staff worked to avoid contact, but there is no universal guarantee across visits.
- Recent evidence leans negative on safety due to limited options and cross-contact concerns, even as older experiences show some awareness and flexibility.
