Baja Fresh

[SacGFGirl]

I know there are misc threads about Baja Fresh but no one had a complete idea of what was and wasn't safe so I finally called the company and found out that pretty much any of their burritos in a bowl sound be safe. I was told the only items on their menu that contain gluten are the following:

Churros

Flour Tortillas

Tostada Shells

Flautas

Tortilla Soup

Breaded Fish

Raspberry Iced Tea

Aztec Chocolate Chip Cookies

Their is an issue of cross contamination because they do not have a dedicated fryer and they do grill gluten and non-gluten items on the same grill, but I think I'm going to try it out. Anyone been to a location in the Sacramento area with a positive or negative effect?

I ate at Baja Fresh in Vista California3 times and loved the food. The people were great the place clean. One time I was fine, the other two forget it. I have since stayed away. I think because it is not dedicated is why I had the problem.

I go frequently to the one near us. Every time I go I explain that I have what amounts to a wheat and dairy allergy and that it's very important that no cross contamination occurs. I get the Bare Style Burrito (in a bowl) that doesn't have sour cream or cheese (Mexicano?). So far the only time I've had a problem was the very first time. I shared a drink with my daughter (who was having nachos). Once realizing that could be a problem I stopped sharing drinks and tada . . no problems ; D I bring my own gluten free chips or corn tortillas as both are a problem at Baja Fresh due to cross contamination in the shared frying vat and tortilla warmer.
