While the chips are not gluten-free (shares fryer), the waiter was very accommodating and brought out soft corn tortillas so I could enjoy the salsa and guacamole. Like many Mexican restaurants, much of the food is GF-friendly. I had delicious tacos and others in my party (not GF/celiac) also loved their meals. Great spot.

I ate here twice and got dessert to go. I was able to explain to the waiter about my allergies and provide him with a gluten free travel card that explains celiac disease. He went and showed the card to the kitchen and came back to tell me they let him know that I was safe to eat anything labeled GF. I had the coconut shrimp, grilled fish, and Shinto aguachiles. For the aguachiles, they served me packaged GF tortilla chips to eat with, which was a nice little surprise. I did ask for all my meals to be served in a to go container. I also had a Nima sensor to test the items and they came out all gluten free. Staff was very attentive and reassuring. Highly recommend.

Outstanding dinner! Many things were labeled gluten free, and made my celiac daughter something special that wasn’t on the menu.

Le serveur était attentionné et a mentionné en cuisine que j'ai la maladie coeliaque. Beaucoup de choix identifiés sans gluten au menu, la nourriture est délicieuse et l'endroit est magnifique!

Incredible food. I brought a celiac card that explained cross contamination needs in Spanish. The coconut shrimp is the best I’ve ever had. I felt safe eating here and they understood my needs. The atmosphere is beautiful as well.
