Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

72%
Good

JoJo's Restaurant offers a surprisingly celiac-friendly experience for a shared kitchen, with clear gluten-free menu labeling and a dedicated fryer that makes crispy tater tots and wings actually feel safe to enjoy. Staff consistently acknowledge gluten allergies and seem well-versed in handling requests, which always feels like a breath of fresh air when you're used to the usual song and dance. While not a dedicated gluten-free facility—so, yes, there's still some risk—the transparency about ingredients, marked menu, and allergy awareness go a long way. If you're craving Basque-Mexican fusion (hello, birria tacos and that legendary cheesecake) and want a spot where your questions are met with real answers, JoJo's delivers on flavor and confidence, but keep in mind your own comfort level with shared spaces.
