Initially I didn’t want to eat here because of previous bad reviews, but it was the only place open after 9pm.

We had a lovely waitress who was super knowledgeable about gf and cross contamination. She warned us that the corn chips brought over at the start of the meal are fried in a contaminated fryer, told us specifically what we could and couldn’t eat, and even mentioned that the shredded cheese was not gf due to a binding agent.

There are lots of gf options and the meal was really nice.

We had a terrible experience. Beyond gluten free issues, the overall restaurant experience was awful. Regarding GF- they do have a few options listed on the menu. My daughter and I ordered the same dish, but requested her’s GF (which was an option on the menu). Someone from the kitchen brought the food out and both dishes looked exactly the same. When we asked the kitchen person which was GF, she seemed stumped. Took my daughters dish back saying “we’ll get you black beans and cilantro rice instead”. She brought the dish back with different beans and the same rice (no idea if that GF or not). This is a new diet restriction for my daughter and navigating restaurants is something we’ll have to learn. Beyond the GF issues- Waitress overall seemed put out to be there. We had something floating in our water, waitress took our 3 water glasses and brought ONE water back to the table. We waited for her to bring more and finally had to ask her for 2 more waters. Strange…. The food was mediocre at best. Very bland, not hot when it came out, salsa was watery, beans and rice seemed dried out by heat lamps, the best thing we had was the tortilla chips.

Chips automatically come to the table. Just say no and ask for plain corn tortillas to go with the tasty salsa. The server said that the pollo tacos were GF if you didn’t get the shredded cheese because it was tossed in flour to keep it from sticking together. Overall, a pretty tasty meal between flights in the DFW Terminal D. (Celiac, and no issues)

I have eaten here multiple times as I go through D terminal and have never gotten sick. I always identified my needs and concerns and the staff has been more than helpful to keep me safe.

Several GF options. Waiter was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about shared fryers and such. We had ordered queso and chips but he came back to advise he checked and chips were in a shared fryer and queso was not GF.

The fresh tortilla chips are NOT SAFE. Shared fryer. They were happy to bring me fresh soft tortilla shells instead. (Chips and Salsa are free as were my shells) They prepared my food in a separate location in the “back”. I enjoyed the chicken soft shell tacos and the guacamole is not to be missed! At least 6 GF options available. Alert your server to your GF status and you’ll be safely fed.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

absolutely wonderful! the chicken fajitas were melting in my mouth. I wish I had this restaurant in my area. awesome gluten-free menu

Not many options, BUT they DO have gluten free meals on the menu! Recruited beans are also gf.

I ate at the one in Terminal B. The menu is marked with a few option to ask your server about if you want GF. Chips are fried in contaminated oil and even the corn tortillas used in several of the GF labeled meals are dipped in same oil to make them soft. Waitress was confused when asked what really was GF for someone with an allergy. Ended up with a mango and chicken salad which was very good but I was disappointed in the lack of genuine GF options.

Celiac friendly?

No

Quick & good. Brisket tacos, black beans, chips

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome Mexican food! I highly recommend. Every time we come to DFW airport we hope we have a lay over so we can enjoy the food. They have an extensive amount of gluten free menu items with chips and salsa to munch on before our meal.

Great food and options. My two kids and I are all GF, and had no issues following our meal. Their menu I felt could have been more clear, but otherwise awesome! We love being able to eat chips and salsa at a restaurant. We all had chicken fajitas, but they were amazing. Would definitely recommend to others.

Things were labeled GF on menu. It was busy, but we had great service. They were patient with us asking questions and requesting certain food preparation precautions. My daughter was so happy to have GF chips that were in a dedicated fryer. She ordered the chicken fajitas with corn tortillas.

The food here is INCREDIBLE! The gluten free selection is a little small but it is still so delicious. The chips are celiac safe and the salsa and queso are amazing!

We don't live too close, so I used the app to help figure out a good gf dinner place for date night. SOOOO GOOD! Haven't had Mexican in awhile and was blown away. Queso is gluten free, it's a yellow queso (so much better than what I expected), chips are in a dedicated fryer. Got the chicken enchiladas with corn Tortillas and they were delicious. The steak I was told isn't gluten-free, as a FYI. Sorry no pictures was good to pull phone for out for a pic.
