What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Everything on the menu can be gluten-free with appropriate substitutions, notably substituting gluten-free tortillas or corn tortillas for flour tortillas. This is explicitly stated in the restaurant’s own extended information.
- Many dishes (e.g., burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, etc.) can be prepared GF, with references indicating that almost the entire menu can be made gluten-free aside from the flour tortillas themselves.
- Chips and salsa can be served with dedicated GF fryer handling, and some reports mention separate GF chip baskets to minimize cross-contact.
- The kitchen reportedly uses separate oils/pans for celiac orders and changes gloves when needed, and staff are described as ready to explain and implement precautions.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is inherent cross-contamination risk if flour-containing items are prepared in shared spaces. However, numerous accounts describe proactive measures: dedicated fryers or separate cooking areas, glove changes, and clear communication with staff about celiac needs.
- The most explicit potential risk item is the presence of flour tortillas on the menu; many reports emphasize that substitutions to gluten-free tortillas are standard practice to maintain safety.
