The server said the chips were fried in a shared fryer so I could not eat them. She offered a veggie alternative. Had tacos and they were delicious. I tasted the chicken and the pork tacos both good. Disappointed in limited menu for gf.

This restaurant is very accommodating! They have many gluten free options on their menu. As a very sensitive celiac, I have eaten here twice with no reaction. That being said, I was told on my first visit that they had a dedicated fryer for their chips. The second visit I was told by our server that they share a fryer. This is something to be mindful of when eating here! Tamales, tacos, and queso were amazing!

We unknowingly went during Happy Hour on a Saturday, and I still did not have any reaction, even during the busy time. The waitress said that the chips have a dedicated fryer, but the other fried stuff is fried together, so there is cross contamination. She added that the tacos maked GF were safe. We enjoyed the chips and queso, chicken tacos, and pork tacos.

This is a safe restaurant- I didn’t get sick at all, and I’m pretty sensitive to gluten! There were plenty of yummy options, including most of the tacos, the delicious tamales, and some great sorbet! The staff instantly recognized what celiac was and knew which dishes were gf off the top of their heads. Fantastic service and food, and I didn’t feel nervous at all about how safe their food was!

Server was knowledgeable about celiac. GF items are clearly marked on the menu. Several good options, but anything fried is a cc risk.
