Cilantro Taqueria - Coventry

It was our first order from cilantro taqueria on May 30, 2025 @0833pm. I've heard that this place is better than chipotle. So I mentioned that I want a gluten free order. This guy doesn't understand what I'm trying to say. So I typed GLUTEN FREE ALLERGY on my phone. But he seems like he never heard of this allergy before. So I requested him to change his gloves because he just prepared someone's order with flour tortilla. He changed his glove but looks likr irritated. After serving the rice and meat he was talking to his workmates in a different language while looking at me. Probably wondering why I asked to change his glove. Ignorance will harm or could kill someone. If you work in a food industry you should learn different allergens. Educate your workers so they know what they are serving. I did not even ask him of what are the gluten free options. I simply asked him to change gloves because I want to order a gluten free meal. I told my husband that this will be our first and last order here. They offer gluten free options on their website but it seems like people working in their restaurant are not educated enough.

First time in the resturant. It's a build your own. First impression- the employees enjoy their work. I saw smiling faces and the first person I encountered was polite, nice, and smiling. Portion sizes were big. I did get a bowl and it was more than enough for me. The ingredients were fresh. I do like the topping bar off to the side. Grabbed two salsas and they were good. Vegan options available. I am gluten free (sensitive nor celiac) I did not react which is a huge plus- did get a tofu as protein and loaded with veggies, beans, and white rice- vinegarette for sauce. Sat outside on the patio and enjoyed our dinner. Overall, I will visit again as this experience was pleasant- first impressions matter.
