Celiac safety profile

What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Fajita tacos prepared gluten-free (reported as GF for a specific order).
- Tacos with corn tortillas (reported as GF in at least one account).
- Tortilla chips made in a separate gluten-free fryer (reported as GF in one account).
- Gluten-free options are acknowledged in promotional content and on some external notes, but there is no dedicated gluten-free menu listed here as guaranteed for all orders.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which always leaves some cross-contamination risk.
- Staff knowledge about gluten-free safety appears variable across experiences; some guests felt informed and protected, others felt unsure about cross-contamination and GF options.
- One account describes ordering as chaotic; another notes proactive precaution by a manager. The inconsistency means you should communicate clearly and verify your dish and fryer/oil usage before ordering.
