🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Ground beef and roasted chicken are listed as gluten-free options in the chain’s gluten-free guidance.
  • Enchiladas or bowls that use ground beef or roasted chicken with corn tortillas are described as safe choices in the collected notes.
  • Rice and refried beans are noted as safe components in some gluten-free meal combos.
  • Corn tortillas can be substituted in place of flour tortillas to avoid gluten-containing flours in certain dishes.
  • Chips and corn tortillas are sometimes highlighted as safe when prepared in dedicated fryers or separate from gluten-containing items (though this is location-dependent and not guaranteed for this Lafayette spot).

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is a real concern.
  • Some items may be marinated in beer or prepared with seasonings that contain gluten, depending on the dish and kitchen practices.
  • Fryers and shared surfaces can be sources of cross-contact; reports vary by location, and Lafayette-specific confirmation isn’t explicit.
  • The official stance in the collected notes indicates that while some gluten-free items exist, gluten can still be present in traces due to where and how foods are prepared.
  • A few diners have had positive experiences when managers engaged directly and clarified safe options, but that level of protection is not guaranteed at all times.
