I got the shrimp fajita salad without cheese. It was excellent. Will be returning.

Slim offerings. Soft tacos were okay a little bland. Only rice availability GF was lime cilantro which was not what I was hopping for.

I’ve eaten here 4x. I always get the same order- gluten free tacos. I’ve not had any issues at all. The gf chips are not good though so I don’t bother with those. They also make fantastic margaritas.

Didn’t feel safe enough to eat here after the waiter told me there’s better ways to be healthy than limiting gluten. Didn’t trust that he would convey my dietary needs properly. Also, those at my table found a pasta noodle in the queso dip….weird

Tacos, rice and veggies were pretty good. The gf chips were baked and a little like thin cardboard. Edible but not the same as fried tortilla chips.

I’ve eaten here twice, and had the tamales from the gluten sensitive menu both times. The first time I had them for lunch, and later that day felt kind of sick, but I was super pregnant and we had been driving all day, so didn’t think anything of it. The second time was also for lunch, and a few hours later I was sick as a dog. So, I definitely don’t feel like the tamales are celiac friendly. Unfortunately we won’t be back.

Knowledgeable about gluten free! I got separate chips and dip, and the entrees were really good. I was fine after so I can assume that it was safe! Highly recommend.

I ordered a margarita and the gluten free tacos. They were okay. I enjoyed the tortilla chips and green salsa the best. I wasn’t a fan of the red salsa.

We came to Abuelos twice the week we were in Myrtle Beach for vacation because the food was that good. My wife has celiac and she loved the tacos. My son and I do not need to eat gluten-free and their fajitas and specialty dishes were so good. Their quest dip is awesome but it is a large order so only recommend if you have a group of four or more, or you can take it back as leftovers. We will definitely come back if we are in the area again.

Can I just say WOW! The place and food was absolutely amazing. The GF menu is part of the whole menu, but is dedicated to one spot, so not hunting down what we can and cannot eat. It does say gluten sensitive, but they were super careful to take care of me.

I ordered the fajitas and the bonus to it all was the chips and green salsa. Absolutely loved the salsa. I ordered the flan, and oh my…it melts in your mouth.

Our waitress, Rhonda, was very kind and helpful and the chef came out twice and spoke with us. Guys, I’m telling you…if you are at Myrtle Beach, this is definitely a place to go if you like Mexican!!

Waitress was super helpful and pleasant. When I walked in, the hostess made sure to tell me they’re gluten sensitive not gluten free but they will do their best to accommodate me. She also told me to tell the waitress right away that I need gf chips and not to eat the ones they initially bring out. I had tamales. They were good. Somewhat limited menu but it’s nice to have another alternative and the tropical salsa was great!

Ate there last night 7-12-2021 and I have to say, it was delicious! They have a GF page on their menu and I ordered the 3 soft taco plate. It came with a side of cilantro rice and beans. The seasoned beef on the tacos was outstanding. It was so good I feared I would end up sick. I’m a very sensitive stomached Celiac and I had zero issues eating here. They also brought out separate chips and salsa. The salsa was pretty plain, but it was still nice to have the option to eat chips and salsa like others there. Great experience!

The staff was very knowledgeable. The menu says “for Gluten-sensitive” but my waiter said it WAS gluten free. They prepared everything in a dedicated space. The menu options are limited, but tasted very good.

If you want authentic Mexican food, this is not the place to get it. The gluten-free menu was extremely limited. The vegetarian menu was on the flip side of the gluten-free menu, and there was very little overlap (I’m a vegetarian, also dairy free). The waitress was very patient and helpful; she kept suggesting different items that were not really Mexican (such as a salad with mandarin orange slices). Finally, she recommended that I simply order a side of black beans, a side of cilantro rice, and a side of corn tortillas, and make my own tacos. I did just that, and the food was exactly what I was craving. But I wouldn’t go back if I wanted anything other than corporate food.

great food and the server was very educated about gluten and the options they offered. they prepared my dish separate from the others also.

Gluten free menu has very limited options. I ordered corn tortillas and got flour tortillas. Thankfully I knew the difference. Got charged double for "happy hour" drinks. Food was mediocre.

Very little gf options. Waitress didn't tell us chips were fried with gluten until after we ate them. Food was worse tasting than taco bell and one taco was $3.99. Everyone in our party asked for no refried beans because they contained lard and half of them got beans anyway. Will NOT be going back there.

Celiac friendly?

No

Service and food has always been great the many times I have eaten here. Staff always double checks to make sure the tortillas for the fajitas are gf. I eat vegetarian as well gf (celiac) and the kitchen has always accommodated my requests for different veggies to be used for the fajitas. Portions are huge and I always have enough leftovers for a second meal.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Chips were horrible. Both my daughter and I had issues after we ate their food and we ordered from their gf menu. My daughter felt so sick we had to go back to our hotel for the evening.

My wife ordered from the gluten free menu. Her dish came out not gluten free; with regular chips! When she asked about the chips, the food runner took the dish back to the kitchen returning a minute or two later. We asked if it was the same dish with the chips removed and she told us yes! The manager never came to the table! Staff does not seem trained and the general attitude does not inspire confidence in celiac sufferers!

Celiac friendly?

No

Menu was not very extensive but the food was good. They offer gluten free chips it just takes a while to get them. The food is really good .

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.

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).

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!
