This was a very authentic and cute restaurant. We sat outside in the front and there was enough shade at lunchtime. Our 2 servers were so nice and friendly. They went over the menu in detail as to what was gf ( and df for me). Amazingly most of the menu is gf and it only points out if something actually has gluten. I had the fried calamari which was light and seasoned very well. Not really greasy at all. I also had the guacamole which was delicious. The mango Marguerita was beautiful and fresh and packed a punch. My friends had the fried fish tacos and a side salad and they both loved the food. We were so happy to eat so well - what a treat!

I appear to be the only one who doesn't like this place. It's ridiculously over priced and extremely dirty. Although they have lots of GF options and basically say they are celiac friendly I'm not so sure about that. My husband and I went in (he eats gluten) and got the only gluten containing item, a sandwich. Buddy made his sandwich on the same board he made all the other foods and proceeded to cut it and then just wipe off the knife with a rag he tucked back into his apron he had been using for everything. He also double dipped into the wet toppings. I personally would never go there again. It also cost us almost 50$ for take out.

This place is amazing! I don’t know yet if I’m celiac but I love everything (that I’ve tried) on the menu. I also have pepper intolerance which always makes things difficult but the staff are very helpful and will cater to your needs. I’m always looking forward to going there!!
