What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free items that are commonly available (and explicitly noted as GF on the menu or in communications):
- Guacamole
- Three salsas (signature tomato-mint salsa, avocado-tomatillo salsa, habanero salsa)
- Marina Girl salad
- Roasted beet salad
- Kale salad
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means there is inherent cross-contamination risk.
- Some recent experiences report specific cross-contact concerns (e.g., tortillas cooked on the same surface as gluten-containing tortillas; notes to cooks to avoid cross-contact).
- Positive reports exist (staff notes, GF labeling, dedicated fryer for chips at times), but they are not universal across all visits or locations.
- A few diners have felt confident after staff engagement and careful ordering, while others reported discomfort or illness after meals described as gluten-free.
