When ordering I let the waiter know that I have celiac disease, and he went to get his manager. The manager was very knowledgeable. He let me know the items on the menu that would be the safest for people with celiacs disease and assured me that my food would be safe. No reactions. Would eat here again. Delicious!

Review
No gluten free menu and no items notated as gluten free. I have had the chicken fajitas with corn tortillas (substitute - they automatically serve flour tortillas), white rice and black beans. Also had the blackened salmon with white rice and black beans. Jose/house rice and steak fajitas (steak marinade) are not GF safe.

I was told by the manager that they could not serve me a safe gluten free meal for celiac. Although chips are made in one fryer each day the fryers are rotated. He said that they could serve gf but cross contact was a possibility. I really appreciated his honesty.

They are always good here. The staff is friendly and understands. They often consult the chef if not certain about an ingredient. My sister and I haven't had any issues here.
