Straight answers

What we can serve you, and what we can't promise.

Below is what we can honestly tell you about vegetarian options, allergens, and substitutions. Our kitchen is small and shared — everything is made on the same flat top and the same fryer. If you have a severe allergy, please read this page fully and then call us before you order.

Important notice Our kitchen handles wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish on shared equipment. We cannot guarantee any item is free from cross-contact. If you have a severe allergy, call us at (509) 315-8891 before ordering — we'd rather talk it through than guess.

Read this before relying on the matrix: "Gluten-free" for our corn tortilla items refers to the tortilla itself, not the whole plate. Our fryer is shared with flour-based items, our flat top is shared with everything, and our salsas are made in the same kitchen. We do not have a dedicated gluten-free prep area.

Wheat & gluten

Flour tortillas, most of our burritos, quesadillas, and rolled tacos contain wheat. Corn tortillas are wheat-free but share a fryer and grill with flour items — cross-contact is guaranteed, not possible.

If you're strictly gluten-free for medical reasons, we cannot safely serve you a full meal. Three street tacos on corn tortillas (asada, adobada, or chicken) are the closest we can get, and even those are cooked on shared equipment.

Dairy

Cheese, sour cream, and crema are on most items. Horchata contains dairy in most traditional recipes — ours is made with milk. Fries without cheese or crema are dairy-free; ask us to leave toppings off if you need to.

We do not stock dairy-free cheese or dairy-free sour cream. If you want a dairy-free plate, the simplest options are plain fries, street tacos without cheese, and jamaica or Mexican Coke to drink.

Eggs

Breakfast burritos, chorizo and egg tacos, and most breakfast items contain eggs. These are cooked on the same flat top as everything else, so cross-contact is unavoidable even if you order a non-egg item.

We don't make anything else with eggs on the regular menu — no mayo, no aioli, no baked goods. That's the whole list.

Spice & heat

Our adobada is spicy by design — it's a marinated pork dish and we don't water it down. Chorizo is spicy too. California burritos and carne asada items are mild as served, but the salsa on the side is where the heat lives.

Salsa roja is our hottest sauce. Salsa verde is milder. If you want no heat at all, ask us to hold the salsa and we'll serve it plain.

Fish & shellfish

Our fish taco is the only fish item on the menu. We do not serve shellfish or shrimp of any kind. The fish is battered and fried in the same fryer as everything else, so cross-contact with wheat and other fried items is unavoidable.

If you have a shellfish allergy, our kitchen is likely safe — no shellfish ever enters it. If you have a fish allergy, skip the fish taco and everything fried in shared oil.

Peanuts, tree nuts, soy

We don't use peanuts or tree nuts in any regular menu item. Soy is present in small amounts — soybean oil is used in some of our cooking and some sauces may contain soy derivatives.

That said, we can't guarantee that our suppliers' products are free from traces. If you have a severe nut or soy allergy, call us before ordering and we'll walk through ingredients with you item by item.

What we
can't promise Honest answers
before you order

We don't have a dedicated allergen-free kitchen. Nobody honest does.

Our kitchen is roughly 200 square feet and everything happens on the same flat top, the same fryer, the same prep counter. There is no separate gluten-free station, no nut-free prep area, no dairy-free cutting board. If we claimed otherwise, we'd be lying to you — and that's worse than losing an order.

If you have a severe allergy — anaphylaxis-level — please call us at (509) 315-8891 before you order. We'll tell you honestly whether we can safely serve you or whether you should eat somewhere with a dedicated kitchen. We'd rather turn down an order than have you end up in the ER.

If you have a mild sensitivity or an intolerance (lactose, mild gluten sensitivity, FODMAP, etc.), we can usually work with you. Ask for no cheese, no sour cream, no salsa — we'll make it happen and the food will still be good. That's the honest version.

If you're vegetarian

You have real options: Bean & Cheese Burrito, Cheese Quesadilla, Chips & Guacamole, Chips & Salsa, Rice & Beans, and plain Fries. That's a full meal. The bean burrito plus chips and guac is what most of our vegetarian regulars order.

We don't stock plant-based meat substitutes. We don't have a veggie burrito, and we don't pretend a bean burrito is the same thing as a carne asada one. It's a different dish, and it's a good one.

If you're vegan

Honest answer: our regular menu is hard for vegans. Beans are made with traditional recipes that sometimes include lard — ask us before ordering and we'll tell you what's what today. Rice is usually safe. Corn tortillas for street tacos are safe if you skip the cheese and crema. Salsas are plant-based.

The best vegan order is three street tacos with no cheese and no crema, on corn tortillas, plus a jamaica to drink. It's not a full meal in the way a California burrito is, but it works and it's honest.

If you're gluten-free

See the note above — this is not a gluten-free kitchen and we can't guarantee anything. Corn tortilla items (street tacos, rolled tacos) are technically wheat-free, but they're cooked in shared oil and on shared equipment.

If you're Celiac or strict gluten-free for medical reasons, this is not the restaurant for you and we'd rather tell you that upfront. There are dedicated gluten-free kitchens in Spokane that will take much better care of you.

If you're keto or low-carb

Rice and beans are out on most burritos, but the protein itself is fine. The simplest approach: order a plate of carne asada fries without the fries (we'll serve the meat with cheese, guac, sour cream, and pico on the side), or get street tacos and eat the filling without the tortilla.

We don't have a formal keto menu. If you need exact macros, call ahead — we can give you approximate numbers for our proteins, but we don't have printed nutrition data.
