Zambrero Balaclava

Menu marks Nourish+ Bowls, Classic Bowls, Nachos, Hard Tacos, chips, and several sides as GF. Burritos and toasted burritos are not GF-marked. A gluten-free hemp-seed spinach tortilla is referenced for vegan swaps, suggesting GF tortilla options exist. No dedicated fryer or kitchen claimed; gluten-containing tortillas and quesadillas are prepared in the same kitchen. Shared-kitchen cross-contamination risk is inherent at a fast-casual chain.
