This place should not advertise gluten free menu, none available. Staff had no idea what was gluten free and what wasn’t. They had no idea about cross contamination. If you have Celiacs like I do, this is not a safe place to eat.

After explaining to our server the need for food that isn’t cross-contaminated, the manager came out to assure us that all precautions would be taken seriously. We ordered fajita tacos on 5 August, 2023 and they were amazing! The manager omitted my chips to be extra cautious. I could’ve eaten their handmade tortillas all day, and the meats and toppings were mouthwatering. My plate was definitely gluten free, and we can’t wait to go back! 10/10 * 2024 We’ve returned several times.

Like the other reviews the ordering was a little crazy. I was a little skeptical if I would get sick but I didn’t. Food was great. I only ate the taco shrimp sautéed, chicken, and carne asada. Highly recommend if your down town.

Ordering was a bit crazy but overall, experience was good. My son with Celiac had chicken tacos on corn tortilla and he was in heaven. It was explained to us that the tortilla chips were made first thing in the morning with fresh oil. He didn't get sick.

Classic cantina-style taco place with a nice outdoor seating area. Tortilla chips are made in a separate GF fryer and everything on corn tortillas was GF. Ordering the food felt a bit chaotic and I was nervous about contamination, but had zero issues after eating there.
