What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Corn tortillas (gluten-free) are commonly available and discussed as an option.
- Beef-based meats (e.g., steak, barbacoa) are described as gluten-free by some guests, with a caveat that chicken may be beer-battered and thus not safe.
- Chips (corn chips) are frequently cited as gluten-free in several accounts, with notes about fry oil practices; one recent report challenges this for a particular location. If choosing chips, confirm fryer status on the day of your visit.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The business indicates it is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.
- Fryer practices for chips and some fried items vary in reports; one recent account claims chips are not celiac-safe due to fryer cross-contact, while others describe dedicated fryers or separate fry oil. Given this inconsistency, cross-contamination risk remains a real consideration.
- Chicken tends to be highlighted as not safe in several accounts because it may be beer-battered or marinated in beer, so it’s important to verify individual prep.
- Staff training and allergen labeling are present, and many diners report positive experiences when they communicate their needs clearly and request glove changes.
