Staff was not knowledgeable. No separate fryers. Sat in here with my boyfriend's family and I brought my own food in.

Chips are fried in the same oil as the flour items. Not gluten free.

They do have separate menu but when I asked the manager about the fryer being dedicated for chips he said if it’s in the menu than it’s gluten free. Not helpful.

My luck. Asked for stacked enchiladas, I got FLOUR TORTILLAS! 3 flour tortillas stacked under sauce, I had no idea until I took the sauce off. I told the waiter this looks like flour tortillas and he was so cocky he replied "no it's corn" without even looking at my plate. 1 hour later I ended up throwing up. I would sue them if I could. It's my life on the line. Look out for the waiter by the name of MITCH, or just stay clear of this restaurant honestly. They have screwed up my orders for years, surprised I'm not dead.

We didn't get sick but it was incredibly disappointing. For the amount of food you get it was over priced and lacked flavor. I didn't give it 1 star because we were safe eating here but I wouldn't go back.

Great service and attentiveness on GF preparation. We had the fajitas and fish tacos with no reaction. The food was spicy, but that's a side note.

Separate GF menu, although when I ordered the fajitas and told them it was for Celiac, they came out with flour tortillas instead of corn. They were very nice and redid the dish and comped that item, but I’m not sure how safe the place is (I’m asymptomatic).

NOT SAFE!! I have celiacs and so I requested and ordered from the gluten free menu, and specifically let the waitress know I was celiac and so I have a gluten allergy. She proceeded to bring me flour tortillas. Upon inquiry she said she did bring flour and I said I can’t have flour— I have a gluten allergy which is why I ordered off the gluten free menu. She said she doesn’t know what that means and she “doesn’t know what’s in tortillas”. She then came back to the table and proceeded to tell me that I must have made the mistake of ordering my CHICKEN FAJITAS off the VEGETARIAN side of the menu, which is why she brought flour. I let her know that it was in fact from the gluten free side and even specifically said “gluten free fajitas” when I ordered, and proceeded to deny that they were available as gluten free. As if would make sense to order chicken fajitas off the vegetarian menu anyway.

Not recommended for people with celiac. They have a gluten free menu online. When I placed my order I specifically identified I was looking at the gluten free menu online and have an allergy. Asked if they needed to do anything special to my entree (fajitas) to make it gluten free. She said she would check in the back. Came back up and rang up our order. It was a to go order and when we got home they had given me flour tortillas. I had zero confidence my flood was safe to eat, so I didn’t eat it. Very disappointing.
