I’ve been here numerous times and everything has been fantastic. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this place for anyone with Celiac. After asking for GF chips, I was given chips that were not GF. I ate half of one not knowing. The server who brought them, took the basket away without saying anything and came back a few minutes later, smiling with a new basket. She said, “these are gluten-free “.

To start they are very knowledgeable about what is in their food. Unfortunately they use soybean oil in everything including their rice and beans. So if you have a soy allergy there is almost nothing you can have. They were able to make a few things like shrimp or fish in olive oil but no sides were included. If you don’t have a soy allergy they do have an extensive amount of gluten free options. The service was good and they did the best they could.

Symptomatic Celiac

Great place for Mexican food. They took my celiac disease very seriously. Upon sharing I had celiac, they brought me a fresh basket of chips and salsa that was safe for me to eat. The menu is clearly marked with gluten free items. Some of the ingredients on the menu for tacos were not on my tacos when served, such as the cheese, but when I asked about it they said the cheese had unclear risk for contamination so they brought me out another cheese instead which was equally as good. Food was delicious and I would definitely go back again!

It was pretty good! Gluten free things right on the menu. The guacamole is awesome! The people who bring the food out got our plates mixed up but we figured it out soon enough.
