My son is Celiac. Before we sat down I checked with the hostess regarding the separate GF fryer. I was told that there was one. We asked if the fries could be made GF in the fryer and were told yes.

My son ordered a GF taco and fries. The server came back and told us the fries couldn't be GF (and after seeing them I imagine it's the spices).

When his taco arrived he took one bite and told me his taco wasn't GF. Sure enough it had been made with a flour tortilla.

To add insult to injury my other son's hot dog was totally burned-and we had to send it back too.

This was an epic meal fail for us.

They do have two fryers, the manager said. One for GF where they cook their chips. They have another for other items. We enjoyed our meal and had no problems. The staff was knowledgable, and the manager came out to introduce himself, and make sure we were all good. We recommend.

First, the fryer (for chips) is no longer Celiac friendly as indicated in the previous review. They used to have a GF menu, but now do not, but can accommodate. Therefore, my daughter was unable to eat the chips and salsa they bring to the table. However, our waitress was the sweetest and felt for her, bringing her carrots and ranch. My daughter had a corn tortilla taco with the white rice and black beans. She topped her dinner off with cherry blossom ice cream that was delish. Overall, food was okay. The waitress was fantastic and answered all my questions.

They had a wonderful gluten free menu. They seemed pretty knowledgable and the food was really good. I'm really sensitive and I did not have a problem with the meal I had. The only problem I had with the restaurant was the service we had. Our waitress was rude and impatient and never smiled where all the other wait staff were smiling and looked friendly.

Great food and great service. Staff was very accomadating and conciderate about GF. I am a celiac and had no problems with their food. also the tortilla chips are safe, they fry them at the beginning of the day with fresh oil.

A whole page in the menu of gluten free options. The enchiladas were great! I've definitely missed those!

The other locations are great. This one was challenging but I didn't get sick but I didn't have a high confidence level so I ordered pretty basic food to be safe.

Not everything on GF menu may be GF. Only one deep fryer so chips (nachos) may be cross contaminated. I asked before getting them. Faijta tacos were good.

We ordered gf ribs and they brought us regular ribs. If we didn't ask, we would have gotten sick. Food was terrible. You don't get much for your money. Skip it.

No more gluten-free menu, although GF items are clearly marked on the regular menu.

This place USED to be great. They had a gluten free menu and tons of options. They changed their menu though and now it is the same as any generic Mexican restaurant - there are gluten free options, but you have to ask the server what is gluten free and trust that they know.

New management, eat there about once a week. They are very knowledgeable. You can even ask to talk to a chef! So yummy too!

They have a dedicated gluten free menu with meat and vegetarian options. This location is a bit dark compared to the one in Alexandria, but this is a solid choice.

Gluten free menu is kind of small, but good. I had the grilled salmon salad.
