The food is delicious! There isn’t a gf menu, but they are able to make many of the dishes gf, and our servers were knowledgeable about safety practices. Wonderful fish tacos!

We got take out from here. They make all their corn tortillas in house and can make them gluten free. Before I even asked about cross contamination, they said that the food may take longer to be ready because of the cleaning process they do on the surfaces. They are able to make much of the menu gluten free, but there is no separate menu. We got an order of tacos and gorditas which both were very delicious.

Both my daughter and I have celiac. We have issues trusting food service establishments with cross contamination. We informed the staff of our celiac and ordered the meat and fish tacos. It was our first time out in a very long time and we truly enjoyed our meals. We had no issues with the food.

I was nervous when I first came in because the restaurant inside Is pretty bare bones. I ordered my food and they immediately understood to let the kitchen know about the gluten allergy. They made the chips gluten free for me too and they were SO GOOD. You can definitely tel that they make everything from scratch.

Great place to eat! Even though menu states corn tortillas they have some wheat flour in them as a binder. All you have to do is ask for gluten free and they will make a gf batch for you. I had the carnitas and they were great. Came with rice and beans. They came with SIX tortillas not 3 like other local restaurants. I WILL BE BACK!

Delicious food, but definite cross contamination, as they use the deep fryer for foods with gluten and still fried my 'gluten free' chips in it.

While they don't have a gluten free menu, they advertise on their menu they will prepare anything gluten free for you.
