🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Burrito bowls and rice bowls (generally described as gluten-free when tortillas are not used).
  • Salads (gluten-free base with mix-ins from clean stock).
  • Toppings and sides (guacamole, cheese, lettuce, salsa) can be kept safe by pulling from back stock and using fresh utensils, if requested.
  • The flour tortillas are the gluten-containing exception; corn tortillas are referenced as gluten-free in several sources, though some cautions exist about cross-contact with corn products.
  • In short: most menu items are described as gluten-free except the flour tortillas, with safety contingent on gloves/utensils being changed and fresh toppings used.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. That means cross-contact risk remains when busy or rushed.
  • Cross-contamination can arise if gloves aren’t changed, utensils aren’t swapped, or toppings are drawn from the same containers used with gluten-containing ingredients.
  • While many diners report safe experiences and proactive staff, the inherent risk of CC in a non-dedicated kitchen is still present.
  • If you have very high sensitivity (celiac or severe gluten intolerance), consider planning for off-peak times, clearly communicating needs, and asking for full line cleanings and back-stock ingredients as needed.
