Was sick after eating at this location. Spoke to a manager ahead of time, who assured me their food was celiac safe. She proceeded to tell me about how all tortillas, both corn and flour, are pressed together. Huh? I requested my tortilla not be pressed. Should have decided it wasn’t safe after speaking with the manager, but tried anyways, and felt very ill. My taco only had refried beans, cheese and avocado.

Torchy’s has a “gluten allergy” checkbox in their online ordering app (and probably also their registers). They also have separate physical GF menu (or did, pre-Covid) This is great, but locations vary in their awareness. I’ve been glutened twice at the William Cannon location. If I have to eat here, I order “in a bowl” to minimize possible contamination.

Due to the hand crafted nature of our food, variations in our supplier ingredients, and our use of shared cooking and preparation areas, we cannot ensure that our food is free from any allergens. We prepare our foods following procedures to prevent allergen cross-contact, but products containing wheat are made in our kitchens.
I ordered 2 tacos with corn tortilla and let the cashier know that I have a very severe reaction to gluten.
Apparently there was a cross-contamination in the kitchen because my abdomen almost exploded and was so painful after we had dinner here.

Delicious and separate GF menu, but I did have a reaction. Not a big one, but there may have been some cross contamination.
No
We ate two tacos. One with pork and one with brisket. I tried the tortilla and the meat in Nima. approved! Yummy, fast and cheap.
Yes
Eat here frequently and have never been sick. Amazing tacos and the best queso I have ever had!
The food is great but the I got very very sick the last time I ate here. I would not recommend this place to someone with celiac
No
Very good for celiac, but no dedicated fryer (stay away from chips and fried anything). UPDATE: now has dedicated chip fryer at this location, OK for celiac for chips only. Other food fryer is still cross contaminated.
Wife has celiac disease, and has no problem eating here. Great food.
Yes
Several gluten free options available and they have a gluten free menu upon request. Best tacos around!
Several gluten free options and the tacos are incredible. There is a chance for cross-contamination, however.
this is an Austin original AND quality food!
Delicious tacos! Eaten here several times with other celiacs and no one’s gotten sick. They have a separate “gluten conscious” menu.

We attended the soft opening (it officially opens in just a few days on May 15, 2024). They confirmed they have a dedicated gluten free fryer for the chips. We've had luck at other locations with their gluten sensitive menu (avoiding chips at locations that don't have a dedicated fryer) and this one was just the same. They did mention that the potatoes recently changed to hashbrown style and those are not fried in the dedicated fryer, so just be aware of that potential if they don't switch back to diced potatoes.

The app has a lot more diet and allergen information and clear options than ordering in person. Even if you're eating there, you could review it ahead or grab a table and order on your phone, especially if you're avoiding dairy and soy. Those are much harder to identify on the in-store menu.

I got the airstream salad and it was good. There is a risk of cross contamination since it’s a shared kitchen but I didn’t get sick.

Great tacos and guac.! Pork taco on corn tortillas. Delicious! I made a huge mistake and ate the chips without thinking, ( Fried in same oil). But they change out the oil nightly and since we went early for lunch I did not get sick. Yay!!!
