What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lamb tacos (gluten-free) — explicitly noted as gluten-free in a previous review.
- Corn-tortilla-based dishes — described as gluten-free by at least one reviewer, suggesting that menu items made with corn tortillas may be GF (no explicit menu listing, but the claim is cited in the collected information).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which raises inherent cross-contamination risk for people with celiac disease.
- A past staff note mentions no cross-contamination would occur, but this is not a formal policy and should be treated as an individual assurance rather than a guaranteed safety standard.
- Some sauces (e.g., certain molé) may contain sesame or peanuts, which is relevant for allergy considerations and could imply shared equipment or ingredients unless carefully managed.
