Costa Vida

They changed their gloves before serving me and seemed to get it. Would go again. Basically a step above Chipotle.

We enjoyed this restaurant. We had the grilled chicken nachos without any upset. The fresh pico was great. Queso also very good. The staff was somewhat knowledgeable about celiac. They do make fresh tortillas here but everything else is GF. No other fried food in the fryers but chips (I think). Maybe some risk of contamination as they are making tortillas from scratch, but we did not get sick.

I eat here frequently and have never had a problem. They are good about changing their gloves. I usually get a salad without the tortilla.

This restaurant does have a gluten free menu, but are completely unaware of cross contamination. For example, they have a tortilla press that they use for flour tortillas as well as corn tortillas, which they don't wash in-between. They also mark their corn tortillas on the menu as gluten free which definitely is not safe for celiacs.

My husband ordered a Baja bowl, which is essentially a burrito served in a bowl without the shell. He really enjoyed it (he's a non celiac but is gluten intolerant), but we won't be going back as there wasn't anything safe for me to eat there.

Not all the workers seem know about the gf protocols but when they do, they are very good at following them; changing their gloves, getting certain foods from the original containers etc.

I had a sweet pork salad. The person that helped me wasn’t sure about my questions but the shift manager helped out. Gloves changed, one person took my order through the whole line. Fryer is GF and tortilla strips are safe.

Only thing in the restaurant with gluten are the flour tortillas. Watch your food and it looks at least as safe as Chipotle…honestly maybe a bit safer because they use utensils for lettuce and cheese where other places use gloves.
