First time here. Partner (who is celiac) & I dined in about an hour before they closed so we weren't sure if they would be happy to see us... we were pleasantly surprised. I had three chicken tacos, and she had a bowl. She let them know about her gluten allergy and they were already changing gloves before we had the chance to ask them to! You can mark your allergies on the order kiosk but we always like to double check. They were awesome, even this close to closing time. Tacos were packed full and veggies tasted fresh. Everything was full of flavor, and tables were clean. Will definitely go back next time we're in DC!

My partner and I were in town visiting and stopped by the Capitol Hill location given their connection to the bike racing scene. My partner has a gluten allergy and we were very explicit about substituting corn tortillas for flour and holding the fries (cross contamination in the fryer) in the breakfast tacos. After their first bite they realized it was too late - there were fries in the tacos and thus they were contaminated with gluten. I am extremely disappointed at the lack of attention to allergens and we will not be coming back nor recommending this restaurant to anyone who has a food sensitivity. The bright side of the situation is that the homeless man sitting outside got a free meal!
