Love this place! & pretty much everything other than the beer is gluten free if you have anyone with celiacs with you

The unclear gluten designated dishes as clear lack of staff understanding - and more over making stuff up on the spot - is having me not come here anymore. A shame as I was a regular before these recent changes in menu and staff training.

I have a gluten allergy I ask about the tinga chicken and how they cooked it the woman was pretty rude that they cooked it all on the same grill and she couldn’t help me. I asked about the salad she had the same response so I couldn’t eat there. So I walked down to Subway Sandwich and they were so friendly. They change the gloves made sure I had a gluten free meal….. I’m very disappointed in Calavera they could’ve offered to cook my meal in a separate skillet and not on the grill. Plus the woman didn’t have to be so rude.

I drool just thinking about eating here again. Everything is SO flavorful and so messy and I love it. Haven’t had a think I don’t like here, the best vegan tacos you can get imo. They ran out of pickled vegetables, so gave us a cookie instead- I didn’t have high expectations but seriously the best cookie I’ve ever had. Such high quality vegan and gluten free food 😭 ❤️ will share pictures next time

Fun vibrant outdoor places with fantastic food that has perfect allergen labelling with a friendly staff to boot. Worked well with my gluten free and dairy free allergen needs

Food was good - though I did take out and the portions seemed a little small. Also - we made a mistake on the order, and the phone number takes you to an AI voice bot, which was very annoying. We also needed to check the status of if the fries were gluten-free or not due to dietary restrictions in the family. (The gluten status of items is NOT available online) Worse yet, when it decided it could not answer my question, it told me it could not connect me to restaurant and just offered me a voicemail box or an email address. Not helpful. Might as well not have a telephone number, almost cost them another star over all it was so aggravating.

Consistently excellent Mexican food. We've been getting food to go almost every week since they opened and have always been happy with it - great flavors, fresh ingredients, and generous portions. Our favorites are the fish tacos, chicken burrito bowls, nachos and street corn. The service is always friendly, can sometimes be a bit of a wait but it's worth it. Great beer selection including gluten-free beers and ciders.

It was a cute spot and nice to grab some lunch at. I’d go back and do recommend. They have corn tortillas which is great if you’re gluten free.

I came for a casual lunch, and not too often do I have such a nice experience at a restaurant. The salsa had very fresh flavor, the grilled chicken sope had a wonderful sauce, and as a final treat the dairy-free gluten-free Coconut Flan was delicious. As a person with food sensitivities i really appreciated that they featured this item. Prices are good. The servers are friendly and attentive. Obelisco sets a model for eateries regarding quality food and service.

I love this Mexican restaurant I always come here and order the grilled fish tacos that are gluten free The service is pretty quick and the staff is friendly and it’s a great spot here in Piedmont

Food meets all me needs, gluten free, dairy free, no refined sugar and hella protein. It seriously has so much flavor it’s the most smackin rice bowl I’ve had and the portion big, I love my leftovers. Green smoothie is fire too!

Morgan Engel

This is Central American food at its finest. The California spin is even better. Vegan, gluten free, etc. Options are available, and delicious. I'll be coming here for lunch often.

Very nice people and huge menu. Huge variety of vegan options as well. My favorite was the tostada with vegan sour cream. Many of the vegan meats are gluten free as well, including tofu, jackfruit, and about 4 options made with Beyond Meat. I like that they give pickled radishes, jalapeños and a few types of salsa. Don’t miss the desserts, great cakes of many types.

Delicious burritos, pollo is my go-to. RicoRico verde salsa is spicy and perfect. Vegetarian and gluten-free options for our friends with dietary restrictions. Vegan Rico is around the corner. Easy online ordering and pickup/takeout.
