🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Citrus slaw fish tacos (gluten-free when prepared appropriately)
  • White rice
  • Cauliflower rice
  • Black beans
  • Citrus slaw (as a standalone side)

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free; there is a documented cross-contamination risk due to shared fryer oil and common cooking surfaces.
  • Chips, french fries, and taquitos are fried in the same oil as items containing gluten, increasing cross-contact risk.
  • Some diners report successful avoidance of gluten with careful handling (e.g., grills cleaned, foil used), while others note cross-contact can still occur. Recent experiences show staff education and careful handling, but variability remains.
