All tortilla chips are made in a dedicated fryer. It was nice to be able to eat the chips and salsa:) I ordered the spinach enchilada and it was great. They don’t have a ton of gf options but that tells me they are paying attention. No issues. I’ll be back.

Very good. There is a dedicated fryer for the tortilla chips and multiple GF items. They even were able to make an unmarked item GF by using corn tortillas instead of flour.

They have gf item on their menu. Not many but about the same as Macyos. Chips and salsa is good. Food is good. The rice & refried beans are gf and they are actually good. They place is always packed and busy. I got the chicken enchilada. It had some heat but it was good. It had white cheese sauce. Prices are good. I think it probably be the only one I would probably get off the menu. I can eat tacos at home. The other one was cheese enchilada with the same white sauce. But it's a nice alternative to Macyos.

Good celiac experience for us! Items on menu were clearly marked, was told they have 3 fryers, we asked for only the corn chip fryer for my daughters flautas! We also asked for the brown rice, and did not get beans. Would recommend.

About a third of the menu is gf. There are a few vegetarian options, and a couple options can be made vegan (dairy free). The server was very attentive, and I had a safe meal. The server was also very honest about the rice containing chicken broth, and I've been to other places that won't be as honest. They were able to give us plain brown rice, which I prefer to white rice anyway.

Dedicated chip frier for gf tortilla chips!!

I've eaten safely at this place a few times and to date, it's the only restaurant in Goodyear I've felt comfortable eating at. I order bean tacos, which aren't on the menu, but they're happy to oblige.

In a perfect world, they'd have Daiya DF cheese and Tofutti DF sour cream on the menu, and some more vegan options, but everything is delicious without it.

There is a decent selection of gf food. Their albondigas soup is gf, which is great. It is good quality food.
