Had the Mexican street corn and chips and salsa. SO GOOD. The lamb was delicious and tenders and the spinach and crab enchiladas were both great entrees. Would definitely recommend

This was a great place we stopped at today. They have a lot of gluten free options however the gluten free fryer for the empanadas and ones like that are fried with other allergens so if you have other allergies then skip on those. The chips are safe and cooked in their own fryer not with anything else and canola oil only. Everything else is good and the people working there understood allergens well.

I am extremely allergic to even the smallest amount of gluten, and can say with certainty that I've never had an issue eating here, and the food is absolutely delicious. They even cook their chips in a dedicated fryer. To the review stating that their dishes tested positive with their Nima sensor, all I can say is that those things are FAR from accurate and produce false positives all the time (essentially they are useless). https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/troubling-gluten-testing-data-released-by-nima-but-hold-the-phone/

I tried this place because of all the positive reviews. The service was good but three separate items tested positive for gluten with my Nima sensor. I tested ceviche w/ avocado, the veggie empanada, and the cauliflower toro toro. All three came back positive, the ceviche and the Toro toro were strongly positive and the empanada only slightly. I notified the staff and they were really good about it but I will not be going back.

Great food and atmosphere. Lots of gluten free options and the waiter asked about allergies without being promoted. It is BYOB

Highly recommend this place. Ordered food from them for my daughter’s birthday… beef empanadas, chicken tacos, and it came with rice, black beans, plain nachos, loaded nachos, and sauces. It was all GF, except 1 sauce (the yellow one) and the food was delicious! Just be sure to confirm with them what is GF as items weren’t marked.

Best street tacos this side of San Diego. So many GF and V options clearly marked on the menu. Employees were very pleasant and helpful.

The food was unreal. There are many GF options marked on the menu and the staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. There is a dedicated gf fryer. I will definitely be coming back. I had the beef empanadas, chips and salsa, and Lomo Saltado (AMAZING).

Just went here for the first time this past weekend and the food was out of this world! Easily the best food I’ve had since my diagnosis and felt incredibly safe eating here. They are very familiar with Celiac safety procedures and almost the entire menu is gluten free. One of the owners was our server and assured me that the fryer is not shared (probably an update since the last reviews) so the chips were safe too! Great outdoor seating and amazing food, I can’t wait to come back!

Outstanding! The menu is marked and they use corn meal for almost everything. The only thing is that they fry the very occasional chimichanga with a flour tortilla. I learned this after I ate the chips (and lots of them) and a fried empanada (the best I've ever had). I am a very sensitive celiac and had no reaction and felt fine. Otherwise, all other meals were celiac friendly. I really cannot wait to go back

Menu is clearly marked. They use cornmeal where other places might use flour. Most importantly options and choices instead of limitations. Fools is delicious!

The food was amazing. They do give you fresh chips and the waitress did tell me that they are fried with gluten items. Everything is labeled GF or not on their menu. I had the tacos and yucca fries, both were delicious! I will be coming back here!

The staff here were very accommodating! They were willing to adapt anything I wanted. The guacamole was one of the best I've ever had! Cute interior and exterior patio too. Will definitely be back! Will see if I have any reaction - but I actually brought my own chips because their fryer is shared.
