Good experience! GF is not marked on the menu so you have to ask. Our server knew what I could and couldn’t have. The chips are not GF as they’re in a shared fryer. I got tacos and they were great! She made a note so they’d prepare them separately. I did not get sick.

Food was delicious. Asked about gluten free options and the waitress was able to help confirm what was safe. Said chips were in a dedicated fryer, and confirmed that the chef put a different plantain with my dish that was prepared safely.

Came in, as an impulse, for some delicious gluten-free Mexican food. We were impressed. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff was very knowledgeable about celiac gluten allergies. Our waiter pointed out which items were safe, which were gray-zone, and which to avoid. Our waiter actually knew the recipes, very impressed.

Amazing food! Spoke with management and the majority of the menu is gluten free, just stay away from the mole sauce, baja tacos, flour quesadillas, chiles rellenos, chicken fingers. This place is fantastic.

Homeland chips are gluten free! Unlike many Mexican restaurants in the area. Good guacamole, pork, fish, and veggie tacos too.
