This place just opened, has a nice outdoor patio on the river and menu items marked gluten free so we gave it a try. We talked to the manager ahead of time who seemed knowledgeable and told us the chips aren't gf due to a shared fryer. Tacos can be made as rice or cauliflower rice bowls or on corn tortillas to be gf. The menu had some contradictions that we had to have the waitress clarify with the kitchen- coca cola steak tacos were marked gf on the kids menu but not on the adult menu. Thankfully I asked before ordering them for my son as they contain soy sauce and aren't safe. Beer braised black beans are labeled gf, again she ask to ask the kitchen and she assured me that they use gf beer but we decided to skip them and not take the risk. Service was slow, food was decent. In the end, my son ate a chicken burrito bowl without beans and didn't get sick. This place has potential but has a few things to work out. We'll try them again.
