The options are there, but the staff are not super well trained on gluten free. There’s always an issue with the food, just about every time. When it’s right, it’s good 👍

Waiter wouldn’t confirm ingredients on any “gluten sensitive” menu items. Refused to speak to chef. Only useful information I got was that the sauces on both entrees on the menu contain wheat.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have gone a couple times and ordered off the gluten sensitive menu. Got sick both times.

Thank you Lubbock Texas! The new pineapple and green tomotillo salsa was great. Move over, the flan was heavenly :)

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).
