Taquito

Not a dedicated gluten-free facility. No dedicated fryer (confirmed by community reports). The aggregator listing notes 'Not dedicated gluten-free' and warns it 'may not be safe for those with celiac disease.' Menu marking is inconsistent across sources: one coeliac reviewer (5 years ago) reports gluten-free items are marked; a more recent symptomatic coeliac reports 'nothing is marked on the menu but the staff are always accommodating.' One reviewer noted a dish described as safe contained what appeared to be wheat-flour cornbread. Staff are generally reported as knowledgeable and coeliac-aware, but kitchen structure does not support dedicated prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

Honest caveat: One IBS reviewer reported that a dish staff said was safe (mussels) appeared to contain a wheat-flour cornbread; a symptomatic coeliac reviewer also notes the menu is not marked, suggesting inconsistent practice.
