The plano location has removed there GF menu and now only offers chips and salsa as GF items. Very disappointing to only get chips when out with friends

I asked for a gluten-free menu and was told there was none. The host said recipes change often, but that corn chips, corn tortillas, and black beans were OK. I ate only black beans and corn chips last night, and I am still having stomach cramps and upset digestion this morning. Do not recommend.

The employees didn’t know much about any gluten-free options. I most likely will not be going back because the employees acted like my questions were an inconvenience for them.

We have been going here for years and years a couple of times a month. Recently, I found out the hard way that the queso recipe had changed but no public notice has been given. The staff also had no idea. It has always been GF and was even listed on the GF menu, which is also no longer available. I was bedridden the following day with very severe symptoms. Terrible :(

NO gluten free menu. Very unfriendly and unwilling to help or even try. Sat and watched my family eat. 100% do not recommend.
