What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bowls and tacos (explicitly labeled in some experiences).
- Substituting corn tortillas for flour tortillas (commonly noted as a way to keep items GF).
- Gluten-free beverages such as gluten-free hard cider (and some mention of safe margaritas) when requested or verified by staff.
- The existence of a deliberately GF-targeted approach is not indicated; the safety hinges on staff communication and careful preparation.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- No dedicated gluten-free facility and no GF menu are indicated.
- Cross-contamination risk exists due to shared kitchen equipment in many locations (not uniquely ruled out for Erie), and some reviews mention past issues with ensuring strict gluten-free prep.
- Positive signs include staff education, glove changes when needed, and clearly labeled GF options in some cases, which help reduce risk when engaged with proactively.
- Recency matters: recent positive notes about staff knowledge and GF labeling are encouraging, but the overall risk remains because there is no dedicated GF infrastructure.
