What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Burgers served with gluten-free buns (GF buns available for burgers)
- Fries prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer
- Gluten-free items clearly marked on the menu
- Islands Nachitos labeled gluten-free
- Chips & Salsa labeled gluten-free (as offered in certain menus)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The Temecula location is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk cannot be ruled out. While many recent diners report safe experiences and proactive staff, there are older and global notes implying variability in practices across locations.
- Some reviewers shared experiences where cross-contact occurred or where guidance was inconsistent, underscoring the importance of asking detailed questions and having staff confirm precautions for your specific order.
- Overall, the strongest defense against risk appears to be explicit GF labeling on the menu, use of dedicated fryers for fries, and proactive staff—especially managers—verifying safety steps for each order.
