What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Chips (explicitly described as gluten-free safe in several user notes). Note: fryer status can vary by location and moment; confirm whether chips are prepared in a dedicated GF fryer.
- Corn tortillas (gluten-free as part of the gluten-conscious/gluten-sensitive options; often used for safer builds).
- Other GF-leaning items appear on the gluten-conscious menu (e.g., salads, certain bowls), but explicit safety statements are variable across experiences. When ordering, staff should mark the order for gluten allergy.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists.
- Fryer practices around chips are inconsistently described across experiences: some reports note dedicated fryers for GF items, others warn about shared fryers. Always ask and have your allergy noted on the order.
- Some diners report feeling safe when staff actively notes the allergy and follows the GF menu, while others report mishaps or mixed experiences. Recent positive notes are frequent, but caution remains warranted.
