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.
