🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Tacos served on gluten-free corn tortillas (GF option for most tacos)
  • Chips and salsa/guac prepared with GF considerations (chips noted as GF)
  • Shrimp tacos that can be grilled instead of fried to avoid gluten exposure
  • House-made corn tortillas used in many dishes (GF-friendly baseline)
  • Many dishes described as adaptable to GF through tortilla substitutions and corn-based components

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Mixed signals exist about whether the entire kitchen is dedicated gluten-free. One finding notes a dedicated GF fryer, while others describe the establishment as not a fully dedicated GF facility. This means there could be potential cross-contamination risks if other gluten-containing items are prepared in shared spaces or with shared equipment beyond the fryer.
  • Several reports mention that GF options exist even if not all menu items are clearly marked as GF, and staff are often able to confirm safety details; however, not all items are guaranteed to be GF by default.
  • As with any GF-focused venue, ongoing diligence in communication with staff about ingredients, preparation methods, and potential cross-contact remains prudent.
