Got the enchiladas but i didn’t feel very safe ordering. i felt like he didn’t realize/ care what celiac was because restaurant was busy. don’t feel sick and it was reassuring to have a GF menu. would come back because i am not sick.

They had a gluten free menu and we were able to get enchiladas with corn tortillas. I had the seafood enchilada and it was so good! I did not have any reaction.

Good food, shared fryer so no chips (crudite is a good alternative) No separate cooking area for GF foods, and lots of cross contamination so do not recommend if celiac. Great if cross contamination isn’t an issue for you.

My son enjoyed his dinner and had no reactions. He had the steak fajitas and said they were delicious. The waiter brought him warm corn tortillas and his own salsa because the chips are warmed in a non-dedicated fryer. He also brought out a complimentary GF Three Milk Cuban Flan for dessert at the end of our meal. My son loved it! We will definitely eat at this location again.

I eat here weekly. I order off the gf menu. The chips are not from s dedicated frier so I avoid those. I always order the crudités to go with the queso guac and salsa. Easy win here. Maybe not on parking but the food service bathrooms bar and tv all slap.

I’m asking the waiter about cross contamination, he was very calm and knowledgeable as if he is asked all the time about it. I got the ancho tacos which were good. I had a little bit of an upset stomach but I don’t think it was gluten but maybe beware of eating the beans??

There aren’t a ton of celiac safe options here, but they have a separate gf menu and the staff is very aware! I’ve tried a few dishes here and haven’t gotten sick. The food is good and it’s a nice option in the area. Celiacs: stay away from the chips!

Not bad. I got the jicama and hummus since I couldn't have chips. It was great. Had tacos and didmt get sick. Just not enough variety so you need to know what you want to eat ahead of time.

Loved this upscale Mexican restaurant in the cute Proctor neighborhood of Tacoma. Wait staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and went out of their way to make celiac daughter feel right at home. Delicious cocktails and spectacular entrees. Flan for dessert is not to be missed! Chips are not GF (shared fryer) but they will do a crudite plate with salsa or guacamole. Highly recommend!!
