What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Taquitos labeled as 100% gluten-free with the ingredients and fryer dedicated to GF use.
- Gluten-free churros (a repeatedly noted safe GF dessert).
- Gluten-free burrito tortillas (with a note to grill them if desired for texture and cross-contact reduction).
- Salads with gluten-free dressings (some reviewers mentioned GF dressings that tested well for their needs).
- General note: GF items are reportedly marked on the menu, and staff can discuss gluten-free prep to help minimize cross-contact. Always confirm which items are prepared with dedicated GF surfaces or fryers at the moment of ordering.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Cross-contact risk exists if shared equipment or surfaces are used without precautions.
- Some diners have reported miscommunications or assumptions from staff about what is GF, which underscores the importance of clear, explicit asks at the counter.
- While several guests praise GF labeling and dedicated GF fryers/equipment, others have experienced reactions when precautions weren’t consistently applied. Recent positive reports are encouraging, but isolated negative experiences show that risk isn’t zero.
