What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free banana bread (dessert) is explicitly mentioned as safe.
- Dishes built on corn tortillas and GF preparations, including tacos like carne asada with blue corn tortillas.
- Enchiladas and quesadillas prepared in GF-friendly ways.
- Tortilla chips and blue corn tortillas noted in contexts that emphasize gluten-free ingredients.
- The overall menu is described as gluten-free by the majority of recent diners, with only one dish reportedly not GF on specific cookware/on certain days.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The dedicated gluten-free facility flag strongly suggests minimized cross-contamination, and several diners report no reactions when eating here.
- One account mentions a single non-GF item that is prepared with particular cookware on certain days and kept separately; this indicates a potential, narrow exception to GF status, but the prevailing practice appears to be with strong separation and awareness.
- Overall, cross-contamination risk appears low based on recent positive experiences and the stated safety approach, though as with any setting, vigilance remains prudent.
