Food was the most disgusting food I have ever gotten at a restaurant. I was sure I was going to have food poisoning the next day in shock that I didn’t.

I got the Rojas enchilada and it had the most putrid cheese on top. The sauce was just doused in chipotle.

The empanadas tasted freezer burned and the guacamole was like it had been blended with water I’ve never seen anything like it.

It may be celiac safe but not taste buds safe

Very much enjoyed our meals today! Vegetarian and vegan options. Homemade sauces came with ours. I had GF tacos and quesadilla. Very flavourful. Staff were very helpful as I have other allergies. My friend had vegetarian and really enjoyed it.

The food was, unfortunately, terrible! I’m not sure why all the rave reviews. Chips were brown, over-fried, and the tacos and tostadas were tasteless. Rice was mush. My daughter, that has more severe allergies, ate two bites and said her stomach was upset. She couldn’t eat any more. Reached out to restaurant, but no reply.

Very tasty food. As mentioned by some, it is almost 100% gluten free. I think just some buns and such have gluten but I haven't heard of any cross contamination issues here.

Tacos are 100% gluten free and really good. Had two kinds of soup, which were also tasty. Will be going back.

As a person living with Celiac disease this is not a 100% gluten free facility. There are gluten items on the menu and I’m not sure on the cross contamination factor.

So, so, so delicious! I have been craving Mexican food and this did not disappoint! I ordered the Mexican Fiesta platter, so I would have a little of everything: two tacos, a quesadilla, and a tostada. I was in heaven!

Our waiter, Claudio, took great care of us and prepared me a gorgeous margherita! This is a great find!

Ordered tacos from the restaurant. Mostly everything seems to be gluten free. I was somewhat confused though because there were burritos in what appeared to be flour tortillas on the Ubereats page but their social media says 100% gluten free. I ordered the vegetarian options, which there was a decent amount of choice. The mole Oaxaca was really good. Did not have any issues with the food and felt fine after.

This establishment is not 100% gluten-free. There is a wide variety of gluten-free options but make sure you mention that you have celiac disease when you order. Since the kitchen seems a bit small, I cannot commend on cross-contamination. I am very sensitive and was not sick from eating the food from there.
