Good food! They don’t have a dedicated gluten free menu. They told us everything is gluten free except the flour tortillas. Yay! Easy!

I’m newly GF and DF. We are big foodies and cooks and while the adjustment at home hasn’t been too bad, going out has been pretty depressing and frustrating.

We tried this location after hearing about it in a local foodie group and the manager also speaking up. I’m so glad we went! So much of the menu is already GF and they were so helpful to help guide me on items that weren’t to sub them out. Wonderful experience making me feel “normal”.

Saw good reviews, glad we stopped in for lunch. Be sure to ask for gluten free chips, they’re thin, crispy and served warm. Very good! Love the salsa too!! They have a nice selection on their gf menu and the server we had was very helpful and seemed knowledgeable. She saw that I had the gf menu and said she’d bring the gf chips. I ordered the brisket tacos. They were made with corn tortillas that were so soft and fresh. The meat was flavorful, so yummy. They’re served with a small plate of cilantro, minced onions and a sauce that has a lot of heat to it. I love cilantro, so I piled it on! The menu instructs to sub the rice for something else and gives the options of charro or black beans. It seems to Indicate the refried beans aren’t safe either, but the sever said they were. I didn’t trust that, so I had the black beans and also ordered the street corn. Both were pretty flavorful as well. Looking forward to returning and trying out more of their gf menu.

Ate there with another GF friend and we both did well, both of us are fairly sensitive! The separate menu is so detailed as to how to order and I really appreciate being able to eat the chips and dips. Table side guacamole was excellent.

LOVE TO EAT HERE! Never get sick!! They have separate chips they will bring you if you have a gluten free menu, they are marked with paper on the bottom of the bowl for gluten free. The waiters are always knowledgeable on GF and the queso/enchiladas/house margaritas are SO GOOD.

I chose this place because of all the good reviews...my experience was horrible. The service was ok and the good tasted great. Move forward 20 minutes and it is obvious they weren't careful about cross contamination. So much pain.

My favorite gluten free Mexican food. They seem to be very careful. They even make me my own basket of gluten free chips. Sometimes you have to wait for GF chips but if you call on your way to let them know your GF they'll have them ready. Tons of options too.

This is an amazing restaurant! My husband and I love Mexican and have been searching for a good restaurant. Well my whole family just can't get enough of this place and that includes two picky eaters. Their very knowledgeable and have an amazing selection. Their chips are sperate from the non-gluten free chips. It is not just the food that is amazing and authentic but also the atmosphere and the employees. We have never had to wait to be served, get refills or even checking out.
