The number of GF items on their menu isn’t much, but King Jefe has several tacos (on corn tortillas) that are marked GF and pretty tasty. I enjoyed The Cheech and a CBLT taco. The rice and beans that came as a side was perfectly seasoned. My wife, who is celiac, ate The Cheech and The Slow Poke with no issues.

Fantastic little restaurant not too far from I95. We first came in 2019 with the whole family! Amazing food and you will want to come back! My entire family is gluten free and they were very knowledgeable, accommodating and made it easy! Just stoped back in today and was happy to see they have grown their menu some and still have fantastic food and service. Heads up, the chips are cooked in a shared fryer.

Our waitress was very helpful. She warned us that the kitchen had cross contamination and the menu was incorrectly marked. The menu states the chips are GF but they are fried in shared oil. Also, the sides were not marked as GF or not. I spoke with the owner and he confirmed the waitress' concerns and shared that he didn't trust his kitchen staff to properly prepare GF food without contamination. Not celiac friendly! Eat here with caution! The only reason, I am giving them any stars is because of the waitress.
