Review
The man who helped me was phenomenal. I explained that I have celiac disease and asked him to tell me if anything I chose was risky. He handled my order from start to finish. When I asked for guacamole, he explained that it is next to the fried tortilla strips so he got mine out of the back. So nice! And no glutening!! So thankful!

Review
I went and asked the staff to change their gloves because of a gluten allergy. They happily complied. They were not knowledgeable about gluten, but there is an allergen key online that I used to indicate if items were safe. I will note that gluten and wheat are on the opposite ends of the key so make sure to look at both. They do use just their gloves hands to grab lettuce and cheese toppings, so if you are extremely sensitive this isn't the safest place. I did not get sick from eating here though.

Review
I advised I had a gluten allergy. Asked if I want the "sheet" (menu showing gluten free). I said I had it pulled up on my phone. Then he grabbed a bowl asked what I wanted. Ask they change their gloves due to the allergy. He did & continued to grab the same bowl that had already been "glutened".
I went ahead & just left at this point because I could tell he was not informed & there was zero safety used when handling gluten allergies

Pretty solid- like chipotle but with free guac. They changed their gloves as soon as I said I have Celiac so I didn't even have to ask
