Celiac Safety Score

25
Limited Safety

1604 Cantina serves up a lively, family-friendly food truck park experience, but for celiac diners, it comes with a big asterisk. With a rotating lineup of twelve independent food trucks and no mention of gluten-free protocols, cross-contamination is a real concern—especially since each truck operates its own kitchen and there's no evidence of dedicated prep areas or staff allergy training. If you've ever found yourself anxiously questioning a server about fryer oil or shared surfaces, you'll know why this place might feel risky. Honestly, unless you can personally verify each vendor's practices (which is tough in a bustling park), this isn't a spot I'd trust for strict gluten-free safety.
