🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Chips that are gluten-free when fried separately.
  • Corn tortillas (described as 100% corn in at least one account) and can be heated in foil upon request to minimize cross-contact.
  • Note: Other items (e.g., some rice preparations) were explicitly flagged as potentially containing gluten by guests, so caution is advised.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which inherently carries risk of cross-contamination.
  • Mixed staff knowledge on gluten-free needs, with at least one account describing a lack of GF understanding, and others indicating safe preparation practices.
  • Some menu items (notably rice) have been described as containing gluten in guest reports.
  • Cross-contact precautions appear to depend on specific handling (e.g., separate fryers for chips, foil-wrapped heating for tortillas)—but these practices are not guaranteed across all visits or kitchen stations.
