Excellent food and drinks. Most of the menu is GF (sadly the only dessert that is GF is ice cream) and you can indicate allergies when ordering. Staff was also very helpful.

Wait staff were very knowledgeable about celiac. Tacos use all corn tortillas and most are GF. Rice bowls and some sides also GF. Wait staff said any soy sauce they used was GF too. Children's menu uses flour tortillas but they can be substituted for corn. Even the croutons that came with the gaspacho are GF. I did not see a GF menu. Margaritas are awesome too!

Love it here!! I went to one in Florida and it was so good that when I saw it here in Arlington, I had to take my husband! You order on an app and they have a tab to put your restrictions (gluten, dairy, soy, etc) that way if you accidentally order something with them in it, the cook is alerted. The pork belly tacos are my favorite and the mint tea is delicious!

I ate here this week on 6/13/22. The people here knew about celiac and seemed to take measures to prevent cross contamination after I explained that I have celiac. Also, a lot of the menu was gluten free. I had a rice bowl, and did not have a problem with cross contamination. It was also pretty good!

Much of their menu is GF. I think there were 1 or 2 tacos we couldn’t have. Overall a great dining experience. They had a QR code menu with contactless service due to covid so I had to track down someone to have a conversation about my dietary restrictions but he was very knowledgeable.

This place is top notch. We have had some trouble finding good celiac safe places, but this place is a staple for us now. The wait staff is amazing and it is so easy to order and has a great vibe. The drinks are incredible. And 95% of the menu is gf. You can declare allergies when you order on the app under every item you order. Every single thing I’ve ordered has been incredible. You can also swap for Bibb lettuce instead of tortillas if you try to be grain free like me. Try the pork belly, pazole, guac, margaritas, and the chicken taco particularly.

Orders in the restaurant are done through an app that allows you to select up to 5 different allergies. All food is clearly marked with what allergens it contains. 90% of the menu is gluten free! I’ve eaten here a few times and never been sick. Their plantains are cooked in a separate fryer and their margs are delicious!!

Ate there twice, the first time in restaurant. Very clear with each server. Said everything but the quesadillas and desserts are gluten free. Confirmed they can make the quesadillas on corn tortillas. Second time, ordered online and noted allergy and ask to take care to avoid cross contamination and ask to swap flour tortillas for corn. I was ordering for my two sons that have celiac and I was away (they had a babysitter). Unfortunately, the restaurant did not swap the tortilla and I only noticed when I came home. I now have two very sick kids. I would not recommend as it is not safe for people with celiac as the servers and kitchen did not read notes.
