The gluten free tortilla was the best I’ve ever had, couldn’t believe it was gluten free. But none of the food actually had any flavor. I was with two people and we all got different dishes and each of us felt like our food was almost flavorless. My beans were also quite hard and upset my stomach the next day. The staff was kind and friendly though.

The tacos are great, but if you have food allergies, STAY AWAY. I have celiac, and I spoke to the server, and had a relatively high degree of confidence that I could be accommodated. But after my meal, while waiting in line for the bathroom, I observed the kitchen put slaw on a plate of flour tortillas, look at the ticket, and then proceed to dump the slaw BACK INTO THE PREP LINE. I have to do a lot of research to go to restaurants and understand that I eat out at my own risk. But a busy Chipotle manages cross contact better than this, and I did end up very sick (shocker). FOH talks a good game, but this restaurant does not take food allergies seriously, and is not safe if you have one.

My daughter and I stopped by this place while we were killing time before the Barbie movie began, so we decided this was the spot to sit down and eat dinner. Good decision as the quesadilla and the tacos were really good. I ordered the gluten-free quesadilla and I wish I could have brought the tortilla shell that he used home because that was the best taco shell ever. And I mean ever. Better than gluten, even! The customer service was great, and I don't even know how he did it by himself with all those people in there, but he somehow remained attentive to our table as well. My only complaint is that I wish they weren't so shy with the seasonings, but at least we had the two choices of sauces to fill in the gaps.

Vegan and gluten free tacos! Fried avocado taco was absolutely amazing! The female server was the kindest and most helpful! Highly recommend 😊
