Is anything at Toucan Taco gluten free?

Yes, of course! We have corn tortillas to make sunken burritos and our queso and enchiladas are already gluten free.

Is the mexican gravy vegetarian or meat based

It is good so it is probably meat based.

Although we face COVID 19 I can’t help but want to share the fact that they touch money and go back to the kitchen and get clients orders without even using hand sanitizer. When I worked in the food industry I was taught to always wash my hands after handling anything but food

Word of mouth... that’s how I heard of this place. It became addictive. Everyone I brought along or recommended...could not get enough either!

Mexican food more than Tex-Mex. Prices are low. This is a historic restaurant. It is an ugly diner but many of our parents and grandparents ate here. I saw two couples on dates. When I visited. The staff are friendly and talkative.

Nothing fancy, just outstanding simple Mexican joy. No other cheese dip can compare to Toucan's chili con queso. I've been going here since 1985 and even though I no longer live in the US I visit Toucan every time I return.

Been eating here off and on since 1975 when it was Tippy's Taco House. Their sunken burritos are phenomenonal. Their con queso is awesome..not enough stars for a proper rating.

My absolute favorite authentic Mexican restaurant ever. Their queso is off the chain but even better than that is their hot sauce. Sunken burritos, tacos, etc. U can't go wrong here!

There was no more spicy chicken. And the manager with the black headband had an attitude like I ate all the spicy chicken. Make more spicy chicken prepare for a busy day. And dont get smart with the customer when they ask simple questions. Get rid of the black headband you look like your stuck in the 80's.

Toucan Taco is a very friendly family oriented place. They almost remember peoples name and faces especially if you go there a lot. The food is good. The people are nice. If you go there get their Sunken Burrito with Spicy Chicken!!!!!! :) You wont be disappointed.

Believe it or not my father work for Trans World Airlines TWA he would deliver some of their products that would come in through Freight. He had an opportunity to deliver some of their food products. Ever since my family has been going there the name back in those times early 70s was Tippy's yeah that's right and then they changed their name to Toucan Taco I was just there the other day the place looks exactly the same as when I was 9 years old. Except for the door with the phone used to be in the corner oh yeah I'm glad that the daughter took over. And kept the business open I come 30 miles to get the food yeehaw

Food is super tasty and fairly priced. Place hasn't changed much over the years, so it's not a "sparkling" atmosphere but that's not what's most important in restaurants. Simple menu, with a to-go option. Your stomach won't be disappointed!

This place is great. It's a locally owned business, done in the old ways. No flare here, just good people and good food. This is one of those whole in the wall places and I wouldn't ask to change a thing.Thanks for a mellow, friendly, and casual environment. It is a good break from the corporate, fast paced, and hustle and bustle.I would recommend this place to anyone!

I’m a chile con queso fanatic and this place doesn’t disappoint!!! After recently moving to Laurel, I’ve made an effort to try any and every Spanish/Tex-mex restaurant from Tampico and Jalapeño fresh to Chapala and even Moe’s when a late night queso blanco craving hit lol. TOUCAN TACO WINS BY FAR in the queso category. I ordered through doordash so the food was packed and traveled for 15 minutes and was still delicious. Looking forward to trying more items on the menu!
