What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free tortilla chips
- Build-your-own tacos or bowls using corn tortillas
- Rice bowls and burrito bowls ( GF when prepared with gluten-free components)
- Traditional guacamole (gluten-free)
- Quesos labeled gluten-free (and other GF dips/sides noted on the menu)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contact risk exists by design. Recent feedback emphasizes the importance of clear communication with staff and explicit requests for cross-contact precautions.
- Fryer practices are a point of variability: some guests report a dedicated GF fryer for chips, while others encounter situations where fryers may be shared or unclear. Brunch service and some special menu items have also been noted as potential risk areas in certain experiences.
- Overall, the strongest safety signals come from recent guests who report clear labeling, staff familiarity with gluten-free needs, and food prepared with attention to cross-contact. Occasional negative experiences remind diners to verify current practices at the table.
