What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Chips and salsa prepared in a dedicated fryer (explicitly noted as safe in some accounts).
- Gluten-free churros (explicitly mentioned as available and safe in GF contexts).
- The majority of the menu can be made gluten-free or is labeled as GF in practice.
- Takeout/delivery options are available if that suits safer preparation controls for you.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not described as a dedicated gluten-free operation, which means there is some inherent cross-contamination risk.
- Some fried items may be prepared in a shared fryer with gluten-containing foods; at least one recent account notes that full cross-contamination guarantees cannot be promised for all fried items.
- A reported reaction from a celiac guest occurred in the past, despite prior assurances about GF status.
- Online/menu labeling for gluten-free options may not always be complete, so direct confirmation with staff is advisable.
