Torchy's Tacos

I am gluten intolerant and have eaten here many many times and never gotten sick. Get any taco on a corn tortilla. Most tacos are GF just ask. Salad is also amazing. Food is really yum!

I ordered off the gluten conscious menu, they sent out a fried avocado instead of fresh avocado taco. I tested the beef from the beef fajita taco on my Nima and it was gluten free. I tested the corn tortilla from two separate tacos and it came up with “gluten found” both times. I asked mgmt and they said that they make them in house with only mesa, water and salt so I’m not sure what to think. Too soon for a reaction and I took immediate measures to vacate the taco just in case 🤢

The first 2 times I went were great. I ordered 2 breakfast tacos the first time and the barbacoa and brisket tacos the 2nd time and had no issues. They were curteous and everything came out quickly.

The last time I went I stated gluten allergy and she put it on the order. I ordered the fresh avocado and the barbacoa to go. When I got back to work to eat them I noticed the fresh avocado was actually fried. I ate it anyway and oh boy was I hurting later. Normally just a little bit of gluten doesn't bother me so I don't know if there was more than just the avocados that were contaminated or what. They title their gluten free menu as gluten conscious so maybe that should have told me to double check. I will eat there again but will be a lot more cognizant as the food is really good and the staff is friendly.

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.
