My kids and I love this place. I've been missing some crispy fresh nuggets for a decade now. I've been gluten free since 2012. Frozen hasn't cut it and I'm not great at making breaded food. I love stopping here on a busy night. Always clean. Everyone is nice. Food is great. I never have to be the weirdo that asks if they have a dedicated fryer because it's clearly labeled and safe.

Always good food at affordable prices. This one is well placed for San Jose suburbs and generally clean and staffed with humans / close to humans! You can get good Gluten Free options here - just ask for the bowl. All other ingredients are safe. You can also ask the server to change gloves in case they have been handling flour tortillas recently. App works well for pickup.

Gluten free options available. Stay away from the chips, fried in the same fryer as non-gluten free food. Place is clean but a bit wornout.

This is one of my favorite taco trucks. I stumbled upon it by accident. I was looking for another taco truck, and this one was way better. They exceeded my expectations. I ordered a burrito since most places don't make the bowl. I gutted it and ate it. It tasted so good. Thankfully, my gluten allergy isn't so severe, so it's okay if there's some contamination. They offer a free bag of chips with the order. That was a nice surprise. The drinks are priced fairly. The employees are extra friendly and go above and beyond in making the tacos and the burritos. There are so many other items in the menu, but my favorite is the asada tacos. Asada on everything, please.

Got the asada and el pastor bowls. They were filling and excellent. The nacho fries with carnitas was fabulous. Asada quesadilla tasted homemade and hit the spot. Good choices for the gluten free people in the group. Furries were in the house from fur con ;) good vibes all around.
