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 đź‘Ť

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?

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 :)

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).

They have baked chips that are safe. I had soft tacos to eat.

My husband and I eat here regularly. They have a gluten free menu. There is no dedicated fryer, but they will bring you baked chips. Only one of the salasas (green) is gluten free. I get the veggie fajitas with no dairy and can choose from lettuce wraps or corn tortillas. Portions are huge and we always have left overs. Staff is always nice.

Was a bit worried when I saw these reviews but I had no issues at all. I asked if the chips were gf and they got me “gluten sensitive” ones. I ordered the soft tacos and was a bit worried when the bread was white but they assured me it was corn tortillas. Overall it was a great experience and would go again!

Went with a lunch group and you can’t order anything off the lunch menu (GF) They won’t tweak it. The waiter didn’t want to hear about it. The other GF limited menu was dinner prices. Food was not above average for Mexican.
