GF menu is a joke...I ordered the safest thing I could and still got horribly sick. Never again.

Gluten free menu is actually "gluten sensitive". The bacon wrapped shrimp is actually dipped into the fryer with chips, etc. kitchen Staff was not knowledgeable. After going through an explanation of no flour, etc., my tacos came out in flour tortillas. Waitress stated they could scrape it off and place in corn tortillas. This meal took a long time to get and to be correct. The waitress did try really hard and I didn't get sick with the final product. I've been newly diagnosed so this was too much of a hassle for me to go back.

Gluten free options are limited but server was knowledgable & even brought me a bowl of salsa that wasn't usually offered. I can't remember what it's called but it was delicious.

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).

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.
