I ordered two gluten free tacos both came out to be on flour tortillas but I didn't realize until after I had a bite and now I'm having a really bad reaction to it. I will not be going there again!

Walk up and order then they call your name when order is ready. Free drinks refills for soda and tea. Easy place to get a good gluten-free meal. The corn tortillas are great. We tried the Dip trio and really liked the queso; the guacamole was bland; the salsa was tasty and served warm with corn chips. Our friend had the chicken & waffle (not GF) and really enjoyed it. We tried quesadillas birria duo and it was okay. More flavor in either the seasoning or the birria would be nice. The mexi-cali shrimp was my favorite! And the spicy Tikka was good with the rotisserie chicken instead of crispy tenders — although it’s probably more flavorful with the crispy ones. We would go here again for the queso, sweet tea and select gluten-free tacos. AND the “keep austin weird” sign is right in front of here.
