✅ Reported safe options

- Sides like black beans may be safer when prepared in their own area, but this is not guaranteed across all visits.

- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk is present.
- Staff knowledge about gluten-free needs varies; some diners report having to insist on precautions like changing gloves.
- Some sauces or sides may contain gluten or be prepared in shared equipment; careful ordering is necessary.
- There is no universal, guaranteed gluten-free pathway across all visits; outcomes can vary by staff and location.
