I eat here all the time without any trouble. They have a GF menu you can look up online, though not everything on the GF menu is necessarily celiac safe. I love the brisket and pork tacos, the verde enchiladas, guac, queso, flan and the kale quinoa shrimp salad. They have amazing corn tortillas which they will sub for chips. They are very accommodating and knowledgeable at both the Alki and Kirkland locations.

There food is delicious! A little pricy but worth it for the views/location. The chips are not GF they are fried in a shared fryer.

great selection of GF items. cross contamination is possible, but I am celiac and did not have a problem. only been once but I plan on returning. edit: been back several times with no problem. I don't eat the chips since they are fried with gluten items, but this is a go to place.

Celiac friendly?

No

very nice and friendly! they will do what they can for you and are very careful of cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a gluten free menu and wait staff is knowledgeable. I am celiac and have eaten there many times. Chips are not gluten free but they offer tasty corn tortillas. I usually get their chicken fajitas.

Not just incapable of proving safe food- but incapable of owning their mistake. Will not eat there again. If I could give negative stars I would. I asked for gluten free tacos and the waitress assured me the food would be gluten free. When I was eating I felt a crunch and called the waitress over - she told me it was breaded and that she had put gluten free on the ticket. On my way to the bathroom I heard her telling the manager I hadn't told them I was celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

Excellent food and large portions for the price ($$ price range). The staff was extremely knowledgable about gluten free foods and celiac disease. This is always very important to me, as a lot of restaurants don't understand the importance of avoiding gluten and cross-contimination. I was told that the majority of items on the menu were either already gluten free or could be modified to be gluten free. Besides this large variety of delicious foods, I was excited to hear that there were also 3 gluten free dessert options. I ended up ordering the Fajitas with portobello mushrooms and vegetables. For dessert, I had the Tres Leches Flan. I definitely recommend this place. The service is excellent, the staff is knowledgable, the food is great, the location beautiful (you can see the water from the window), and there is a variety of gluten free options (including a good amount of vegetarian meals).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious food. Love their homemade corn tortillas. The chips are fried in a shared fryer. A little pricy but worth the quality of food

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.

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!
