<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>>
WARNING: Since I was concerned that the list below is *so* extensive, I asked Valerie Williamson to verify the list for me. She is very willing to do so, but is a one-person department. She will get back to me as soon as she can. Until then, I would encourage you to check the gluten free status of the food you eat with the manager or chef of the location you go to.)
Below are some relevant links, their reply, and a list of gf menu items.

Because our menu items and methods of preparation may vary from state to state, we cannot guarantee this information, however we are fairly confident that this information is accurate.
Several of our grilled items are marinated in a sauce that contains soy sauce as an ingredient (Agua Negra), so technically these items are not gluten-free. This will explain why many of the grilled meats are on the gluten-containing items list. WHEN IN DOUBT, ask your server or the manager if the item has the following ingredients: agua negra, or chipotle base, adobo sauce (as all of these contain gluten). Request that corn tortillas not be put into the fryer as this may cause cross-contamination from the flour products that are fried in the same oil.
