What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Traditional tacos served on corn tortillas (explicitly noted as GF-friendly by typical practice for corn tortillas; ordering with gluten-allergy precautions is advised).
- Rice and Beans as a gluten-free option (listed among gluten-free-leaning or neutral options in the broader menu context).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. This inherently carries a cross-contamination risk.
- There is evidence (from various reports) that some fried items and chips may be cooked in shared fryers or shared oil, which can contaminate gluten-free offerings.
- An allergen program exists (gluten allergy labeling and online allergen information), and staff can be instructed to take precautions (gloves changed, separate handling). Still, experiences vary by shift and location, so don’t assume safety without explicit confirmation for your order.
- Overall, the safety depends on strict order customization and proactive staff communication at the moment of service.
