Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

65%
Moderate

La Victoria Taqueria’s menu leans naturally gluten-free, with corn tortillas and fresh fillings at the heart of their street-style tacos. While it isn’t a dedicated gluten-free facility, many folks in our celiac community report safe, symptom-free meals—especially when they speak up about their needs and request fresh gloves or precautions. There’s genuine care and some staff awareness, but shared prep areas and the presence of flour tortillas mean you’ll need to stay vigilant and ask questions. If you’re craving simple, flavorful tacos and are comfortable navigating cross-contact risks (with a little assertiveness), this spot can offer a satisfying, worry-light meal.
