What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Birria Tacos — labeled gluten-free on the menu.
- Tacos served on hand-pressed corn tortillas — gluten-free by ingredient (corn tortillas are GF), though cross-contamination risk should be considered depending on preparation.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility, which raises the baseline risk of cross-contamination.
- Fryer practices are unclear in reliability across sources; some reviews indicate a dedicated fryer, others note no dedicated fryer, which affects fried GF items.
- While several GF items are reportedly marked on the menu, there are accounts suggesting the GF labeling may not fully reflect reality, and at least one recent experience involved a GF-labeled dish causing a reaction.
- Given the mixed recent feedback, and the potential for cross-contact in both fried and non-fried items, a cautious approach is warranted for celiac diners.
