What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Tacos (corn tortillas) – explicitly noted in some experiences as safe when cross-contamination is managed.
- Beans – reported safe in contexts where cross-contamination is addressed.
- Note: No gluten-free menu is documented, and other items (e.g., chips, rice, some sauces) have been flagged as not guaranteed gluten-free in various accounts.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility.
- Cross-contamination risk remains a real consideration, especially for chips, fried components, and rice in some reports.
- Fryer practices have varied over time in anecdotes: some diners were told chips are cooked in a dedicated fryer, others were warned of shared fryers or mixed oils.
- The safest takeaway is to speak with staff/management upfront about your specific gluten-free needs and to confirm how each item will be prepared on the day of your visit.
