I went in on a busy night and asked the host if they could make celiac safe gluten free food. He said they probably couldn’t guarantee that cuz of how busy it was. Not sure if he didn’t know what it meant or they were so busy he didn’t care if they lost as customer.

My partner and I (both celiac) had some take out tacos from here last week. His steak one was good, my chicken one was pretty bland and flavorless. No reaction though so it is a safe place to eat.

Review
Chicken tacos exceeded my expectations- very tasty. Specify that you need corn tortillas. Rice and beans are safe. Staff were knowledgeable on GF. There is a dedicated fryer for chips and salsa. Unfortunately they use a sour mix in their margaritas— They may still be GF but since I prefer fresh squeezed, I didn’t ask and just ordered a different drink. Look forward to returning to this neighborhood spot!
