When I asked about GF options, the waiter was weirdly vague about what could be made gluten free. After several prompts from me about options, I finally tried to order something and he returned and said they couldn't make that. So I ordered something else. I didn't get ill so I guess the kitchen knows what they are doing. I ordered chicken tacos and black beans

Here is the thing, I ate here and didn’t get sick which is great. However, the GF options were SO limited and dumb how is the guacamole not listed GF? Also it is expensive, there was no mention or indication when my food came out that special attention was paid.

Great tacos, fun drinks with simple ingredients available, and quacamole they make right at your table. Helpful staff and clearly marked GF items on menu. I am a Celiec who is extremely sensitive and did not get sick at all. I will go back when in town!

First time eating here today and I was not disappointed. The server checked on several choices to be sure it was GF or could be. We had the lamb skewers, street corn, potato tapas, table guacamole, and roasted chicken taco. The food was amazing. The flavors were an explosion to eat. We will definitely be back. Maybe try a margarita next time.

Our first time here for GF daughter's 16th bday. Our server Madison was very helpful. Explained GT options and chef even adapted the one she wanted. We had a great meal and truffles for desert and a big bday sparkler!
