What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Peruvian chicken (noted as naturally gluten-free in some reports)
- Black bean tacos on corn tortillas (explicitly gluten-free in at least one account)
- Gluten-free chips and guacamole (GF chips mentioned; chips can be a safe snack when not fried in shared GF-unfriendly oil)
- Charros beans and other sides described as GF in certain reviews
- A separate gluten-free menu is mentioned, with some reviews indicating a sizeable GF taco menu and the ability to customize
- Note: Many safe options depend on careful handling, gluten-free tortilla choices, and verification with staff about cross-contact (e.g., fryers, shared surfaces)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility; gluten-safe meals rely on kitchen practices.
- Reports of cross-contact risks, including:
- Plantains or other GF items prepared in fryers that may be shared with gluten-containing foods
- Fried onions or other toppings prepared in shared oil
- Occasional gaps between what is ordered as GF and what is served (e.g., tortillas or toppings)
- Some diners have experienced illness after meals that were intended to be GF, underscoring the importance of vigilant communication, glove changes, and ingredient checks with the kitchen.
