After explaining celiac multiple times to my waitress and asking if the chips on the gluten free menu were definitely fried separately and being reassured multiple times that they were, halfway through my meal I was told that they actually weren’t. Got incredibly sick. Do not recommended. Should have trusted my instincts and not eaten here considering their gluten free menu at the bottom includes a section labeled “just a little gluten.” Ridiculous

They no longer have a Gluten Free Menu or dedicated fryer. The only options they offer are a few tacos. I am only giving one star because this App made me. I did not eat there. I asked them to please correct the information on this App but they said they did not have any control over it and has never heard of it.

This place was awesome! Authentic Mexican food and a separate (large!) gluten free menu! I had chicken tomatillo tacos and they were to DIE for! Chips are fried in the same oil as other gluten-containing foods, so be careful. Otherwise, this place is pretty safe! The manager came over after I ordered to assess the severity of my allergy. I told him it was severe (Celiac's) and he said "not a problem" and went and told the kitchen staff. I would highly recommend!!

They have a small,separate GF menu. This menu specifically states that they are not a GF facility and do not guarantee safety of their food. They also put a section on the GF menu that is gluten reduces because there is beer in the prep. They include items in the GF section that are made in a contaminated fryer. Thankfully my server was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Chips are safe. Guacamole is really good. The special margarita was syrupy. The rest of the food I tried did not have much flavor.

They have a GF menu but NO dedicated fryer so chips aren’t GF. Most meats are braised with beer so only 4 taco options are GF. Meal was good but very limited options.

Came here before a RW game at LCA. They have a smaller gluten free & less gluten menu. Staff seemed pretty knowledgeable and did confirm no dedicated fryer but menu was ample. I opted for tacos and they were very flavorful. I have wheat, oat, barley, malt, rye allergies, and other grain intolerances and cross contamination hits me quickly but I have had no reaction. Will come again.
