Torchy's Tacos

I explained upon ordering that I have a severe gluten intolerance. They had zero idea what I was talking about. I ordered items they stated were safe. There is a ton of cross contamination here because I was so sick and in so much pain. So disappointed.

As long as I order off the “gluten conscious menu” (uploaded below) then I have not had any issues so far. Just ask for the menu!

Do not eat here!!! The staff has no idea what’s in their items and can’t put in an order correctly. I’ve been to this location twice and got sick both times. Go somewhere else, or if you REALLY want some Torchys, go to the one in San Antonio at the Quarry.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have celiac and I got sick. Lots of cross contamination going on here

I had the mahi taco and was not a fan. Fish was tough and too salty. It also was lukewarm. Very disappointed.

Ask for the GF menu from the cashier and be pleasantly surprised by the many choices. My son has Celiac and will projectile vomit if there is cross contamination. We all had chips and guacamole (excellent), he had the GF green chile pork taco and I had the GF Independent taco (veggie). Everything tasted very fresh. The entire family enjoyed it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Sooooo yummy! I love that they have an entire gluten free menu--and soft corn tortillas! The breakfast tacos are my fave.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ask for GF Menu kept by register. Food was great. Margaritas were awesome ;)

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!!!
