The waitress worked with me to come up with a GF meal—cheese enchiladas with smashed pintos and cilantro-lime rice. No GF menu was offered and I didn’t react to the fried corn tortillas or any listed item in the meal.

I came here twice during my visit and the second time I realized the chips are fried WITH gluten items (flour shells). SO if you're trying to avoid cross contamination the CHIPS are NOT safe!
