Came to this casual and nice sit-down restaurant with a group for dinner during our visit to see the Sandhill crane migration. Good basic Tex-Mex options with good GF availability. Our server was not that knowledgeable about celiac and GF but he immediately realized he was out of his depth and arranged for the expert to come help with our order. GF options are limited but well marked and delicious- we shared the enchiladas (we got one each of bean, chicken and beef - you can order one of each, you have to ask the server!) and the shrimp fajitas. We were initially told the chips are not GF so we avoided them, but the expert later told us they were GF, prepared in a dedicated fryer, so we had some at the end. Did not get sick at all, loved the food, happy to find a reliable GF place in Grand Island!

I am new to this Gluten free life style. They where very friendly. The menu did not have tons to choose from but a good selection. I ordered the Taco Salad with pulled chicken which was very good. I will definitely be going back.

Love the chips here. They have a separate gf menu with tons of items. Highly recommend the brisket tacos! Staff was knowledgeable about gf.

Celiac friendly?

No

4.5 stars. Jumbo margaritas on Thursday special had a tiny amount of alcohol in them. Mild salsa is very mild, spicy is very spicy. But charge extra to get a little of each on the side. Had the two enchiladas with steak and brisket. Quite good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great service, separate GF menu. Server was aware- ordered the Cantina Chicken Salad. Salad was fresh, great greens mixture and tasty. Chios and salsa are GF

Fantastic food with a gluten free menu! I got the 2 corn enchiladas with pork, fajita veggies and Mexican rice. They had plenty of gf dishes to pick from, I had a hard time picking what to eat 🥰 The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and courteous as well! I will happily eat there again!

Combined gluten-free and vegetarian menu. Most items with corn tortillas can be made gluten-free. Some sauces are gluten-free. Tortilla chips are listed as gluten-free, but I didn't asked about a dedicated fryer.

They have a gf menu which states which drinks are gf and that their chips and salsa are gf which I appreciated. Servers seemed pretty knowledgeable. I felt safe eating here and good afterwards. The food was average but I really just want a safe meal these days.
