🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Tortilla chips (GF) served with guacamole and salsa
  • Guacamole (paired with GF chips)
  • Dishes built on corn tortillas (GF by nature of corn tortilla use)
  • Bowls with GF components (e.g., burrito bowls or bowls with rice, beans, and GF toppings)
  • General GF-friendly items noted in reviews and menu discussions

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • SoCal Cantina is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is potential for cross-contact.
  • Some references mention flour tortillas on the menu, which are not GF-safe; avoid those components if you must be strictly GF.
  • Frying practices vary in reports; some diners note dedicated fryers for GF items, while others highlight the possibility of shared fryers. Clarify with the kitchen about oil usage and fryer designation before ordering fried items.
  • While recent feedback is very positive and staff are described as knowledgeable, the lack of a dedicated GF designation means some residual risk remains.
