First, I didn’t get sick, so automatic 5 stars for that. They were also so nice here but the food was absolutely terrible. It tasted cheap. No salt or spice to anything. But I didn’t get sick and staff was knowledgeable.

We had a burrito bowl, nachos, street corn, and tacos! Everything was great, but next time I’ll choose different options for the burrito bowl. We ordered take out and both people who helped us order were very helpful and assured me they use careful practices to avoid cross contamination. We will definitely be back next time we are in Gloucester. Only downside for us is the fact that they don’t have pet friendly outdoor dining.

Amazing service, clean, food is worth every penny. I have a severe gluten allergy and never had an issue. Jaime is wonderful and very helpful and careful when it comes to allergies. They extended their gluten free menu. So worth it!!!

The menu has tones of gf options, and the food was fresh and delicious. Great tequila selection too. Highlight: apricot chipotle sauce was great.

Awesome dinner, fabulous service, food was delicious. We had nachos and fajitas, server was knowledgeable and super helpful about the menu. He took time to explain what was safe for us despite being VERY busy. We’ll be back soon!

Wonderful! Celiac hubby was very happy, and we both are very well. You can even have the in-house fried tortilla chips. This is the best Mexican restaurant we have been to in at least seven years.

Thanks to this app! I found this place and took both of my young kids here. My daughter has celiac and my son is dairy free. The waitress knew a lot but just to make sure she brought the manager out and we went over all of the foods to make sure there was no cross contamination. The chips were great for my daughter and she had no trouble finding gluten free options.

A very tasty lunch -- tacos, quesadillas, and corn tortillas. The waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten and helped us select side dishes and gluten free beer (all they had was Red Bridge, but she knew to offer it when another in our party ordered beer.)

Easy to order GF here. Lots of options clearly labeled on the standard menu. The best margaritas around!

I eat here all the time with no problem. They don't have a separate menu, per say, but have a little Mexican man clip art next to all the gf options--almost everything! As long as you are clear with your server, you should be fine. Also, the margaritas are awesome!
