What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Meats (in general): Reported as gluten-free by multiple diners and cited as a safe baseline when prepared with proper cross-contamination controls.
- Nachos: A recent guest confirmed GF nachos after kitchen confirmation; chips may come from a pre-packaged source, which the guest noted.
- Pinto beans and cheesy potatoes: Mentioned as safe gluten-free sides in a positive dining report.
- Other meat-focused dishes can be GF by recipe, according to guest experiences, though not every item is guaranteed gluten-free due to shared prep spaces.
- Tell the staff you have celiac disease and request fresh gloves, clean cutting boards, and a clean prep area.
- Confirm with the kitchen about any shared equipment affecting the item you want.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is a possibility in shared prep and cooking areas.
- Reported practices include glove changes and cutting-board swaps when gluten-free needs are requested, but there are also past reviews noting confusion or gaps in gluten-free handling.
- Some menu items (like bread, tortillas, or certain high-risk sides) are clearly not GF or are more prone to CC, depending on preparation and accompaniments.
- A few guests have had positive experiences with staff being knowledgeable and cautious; others have encountered uncertainty or inconsistent enforcement.
