I ate there last year and felt somewhat ill afterward. Today, I went equipped with my new Nima sensor and gluten was detected on their "gluten-free" shrimp. The rice and mixed veggies,however, tested fine. They took my plate and just brought those items back for me. So they were accommodating, but I wouldn't trust their gluten free menu

the chips and sauces which are served while waiting have gluten contamination so even though I took rice crackers so I could eat with friends I still had reaction from the sauce. It would be nice if the free chips and sauces were gluten free.

There is a separate gluten sensitive corner on the menu with enough choices. And I couldn’t choose and the chef made a surprise dinner for me. Super tasteful and super nice. 10/10. Can I move this restaurant to the Netherlands? ;-)

My husband and I eat here regularly. They have a gluten sensitive menu. There is no dedicated fryer, but they will bring you baked chips. Only one of the salasas (green) is gluten free. Portions are huge and we always have left overs. Staff is always nice.

The other reviews are incorrect- you ask for gluten free chips. They have a gluten free section of the menu with about eight items.

This place has a limited gluten “sensitive” list on their menu. Mexican food tends to be naturally gluten free, so I was surprised it was such a small list. But, it was tasty. Chips probably are CC, we didn’t ask (husband with celiac didn’t eat them).
