Celiac Safety Score

30
Limited Safety

El Torero feels like a Tucson classic, but when it comes to gluten-free dining, there's a lot left unsaid. There’s no mention of gluten-free options, dedicated prep spaces, or celiac-safe procedures anywhere in their public materials. For those of us who need to avoid even a crumb of gluten, that kind of silence is risky business—it leaves you guessing and hoping for the best, which just isn’t good enough when your health’s on the line. It might be a beloved local spot for many, but until they step up with clear safety protocols or menu transparency, celiacs are better off elsewhere.
