What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Note: There are mentions of gluten-free options and the staff’s ability to guide patrons to safe choices in some reviews, and one reference notes corn tortillas for breakfast tacos. However, none of these items are explicitly declared gluten-free in the information provided, so they cannot be listed as explicitly safe items here.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility. This raises general cross-contamination concerns for celiac diners.
- The restaurant is described as not GF-dedicated in the gathered information, which means there is potential exposure to gluten through shared equipment and preparation spaces.
- There are indications that staff can and will guide guests on safe options, and in at least one instance staff were noted to be helpful if asked to change gloves or adjust kitchen practices. This suggests some level of proactive safety behavior, but it is not a guarantee of cross-contact-free preparation.
- The most recent firsthand experience is negative regarding gluten-free handling, which weighs against a strong safety posture.
