I've eaten here three times now and have had great experiences. The menu is clearly marked and the servers are knowledgeable about Celiac. The kitchen takes good precaution against cross contamination.
I've had the GF taco options a la carte, all of which were exceptional in taste and quality. I recently had the green chili pork enchiladas - well-balanced flavors and a great sauce.
The bar is on point - killer margaritas and other seasonal cocktails.
There is no separate fryer chips, so that's a bummer. Many of the fried appetizers are also non GF.

I usually get the salad with chicken. Their chips are cross contaminated which is a bummer, but their margaritas are amazing.

Great new mexican - Server was very knowledgeable once I said I was GF. Chips are safe (corn) and tacos are made on corn tortillas. The shrimp is battered and carne asada has soy so neither of those tacos were options but the pork was GF and delicious.
