Staff is very knowledgeable about the gluten free diet and cross contamination. They are vegan, but the vegan substitutes and delicious and filling. The nachos are absolutely delicious and staff is kind and patient.

Restaurant has changed to vegan only. Staff was knowledgeable about gluten allergies. I didn’t order due to the menu shift. I love meat!

Absolutely a lovely lunch! 2 of the servers have celiac here. They both came up and assured me of the precautions they were taking. They also mentioned they are constantly trying to make improvements so if I do have any issues to call them and let them know. Very reassuring to me and my family who always worry whenever we go out to eat! I had nachos since the chips are in a sealed bag so I felt like that was the safest option. I took a picture after I had to quite. So delicious!

The staff was very helpful and knowledgable about cross contamination for celiac guests. They are able to use corn tortillas for any of their dishes, including their burritos. The chips are also GF - warmed in the oven, not fried in a shared frier.

This restaurant is NOT CELIAC SAFE. I went there based on the previous reviews. They don’t have a gluten free menu, they just say “most of the stuff on our menu is gluten free”. But they serve and make flour tortillas here and they make them in the same place as the corn tortillas. So...NOT CELIAC SAFE. We tried picking out the safest thing from the menu but it all arrive in dishes that in no way could be celiac safe in a restaurant that also serves flour.

Super friendly and super tasty. Nearly the entire menu is gluten free and if you're to feeling confident they'll send a manager out to go over the menu with you.

Believe the hype! I had heard about their yummy tacos and delicious cheap margaritas, so we checked them out. Yes to tacos, meaty for my GF and vegan for me.  The margaritas were tasty! The chips, salsa, and especially the guacamole were tasty (and free refills on chips and salsa). But go for the amazing vibe and outstanding service! I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease, so I'm forced to live a gluten free lifestyle and avoid cross contamination of any kind to stay alive. I asked the server for help, and Phil was an absolute sweetheart, keeping me safe and filling my belly with goodness. And hours later I can report that it's totally celiac safe. Can't wait to go back!
