What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Rice bowls (GF ingredients) prepared with fresh containers and new gloves, minimizing cross-contact risk.
- Specific examples cited in recent experiences include bowls with chicken, steak, or vegetables that were cooked or assembled after staff had changed gloves and used fresh utensils.
- The menu supports bowls and other GF-friendly options; some reviews note that everything is gluten-free except for burritos, suggesting that non-bowl burritos may carry gluten unless handled carefully.
- If you need GF preparation, request fresh ingredients from the back and explicit glove changes; staff have demonstrated this approach in multiple recent visits.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there remains an inherent cross-contamination risk if gloves, utensils, or prep surfaces are not changed thoroughly.
- Older experiences (several years ago) include reports of potential cross-contact in some scenarios. While these are dated, they contribute to a cautious picture.
- The strongest safety signals come from recent visits where staff actively changed gloves, used fresh containers, and prepared GF components away from shared lines.
