Waiter confirmed chips were fried in separate frier so they were safe. The salsa and queso were both really good. I had enchiladas that already came on a corn tortillas and were delicious. Tacos can be done on corn tortillas as well. Definitely will be going back.

Definitely not safe. Server said all tacos were safe and that he'd make a note in our order. Realized too late that one of the tacos was on a flour tortilla. Apparently that was normal, though not on the menu. He both failed to inform and failed to mark it. Then muttered an apology and charged me for the screwed up taco anyways. The two of us were literally his only customers.

They do not have a gluten free menu but I was told that most items can be made gluten free. Chips are fried in a separate fryer so no cross contamination. Their chicken and steak fajitas were so flavorful I'm already wanting them again!

Great food and a dedicated fryer for GF nachos and other treats was a welcome surprise! We called this place about 30 minutes before closing time as we pulled into Asheville because they were the only GF place open that late - we really lucked out!! We had loaded nachos and three tacos - ceviche, grilled shrimp, and fried grouper. All of the dishes except one of the shrimp tacos were outstanding, the other was okay but lacked flavor (we could not discern which shrimp was which), probably because they removed a non-GF sauce. The person who took our order was not that knowledgeable about GF but he recognized it and immediately said he would consult a knowledgeable manager. The result was outstanding food, totally safe, prepared for us as the restaurant was closing, which I would call excellent service! Recommended!!

Drank water and they had soda options. There was probably cider options that would be gluten free if needed

Waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful with making sure my meal was fully GF

Food was safe but I must have been spoiled by by the amazing place we frequent in our town because I found the food to be extremely bland. Chips were stale, guacamole was decent, shredded chicken street tacos were all tortillas and little filling. They were actually so bland I only ate 1 1/2. It's hard to find safe places so if we were local we'd try again but we are only in town for the weekend so our one and only visit was really disappointing.

They no longer have a dedicated frier (waitress said that the oil they use now is not safe), so be aware of that and ask everytime. The lack of a safe frier does cut down what is safe for those with celiac disease. Other than that, good food.

This will be my go to place to eat when I am craving Mexican food! Manager & servers are extremely knowledgeable about gluten free & Celiac issues. Dedicated fryer, eat all the chips & salsa you want! I got the chicken fajitas with corn tortillas and it was delicious. I am a Celiac & extremely sensitive, did not get sick one bit!

Safe chips, queso and guac is the real reason to go. Entrees were totally safe and separate this is more of a quantity over quality place. Fun ambience and was affordable and the staff was great.
