I LOVE coming here. 95% of the menu is gf. All staff are aware of allergy protocols and the chef frequently runs food/checks in to confirm orders. Allergy orders are marked so you know yours was specifically made for you. Gf dedicated prep areas.

So amazing! Menu is not marked, but I was told the entire menu is GF except the quesadilla and the desserts. (But they also have a torta…wonder if there is a GF option for the bread?) They also said the fried fish and shrimp are also GF and are only rolled in corn masa. Both our server and the manager assured me they would alert the kitchen to my celiac disease. My food came out separately from my families with a member of the kitchen staff and was flagged “allergy.” We came for a laid back anniversary dinner and at the end our server came with a little treat drink and said “I have a present for you both. Since our desserts are not gluten free, we made you this.” So thoughtful!!!
