Staff was knowledgeable! My server told me most everything is gluten-free except for anything that's fried, which isn't a whole lot, and one of the tacos because of the spices that they use. Otherwise, they have a dedicated fryer for the corn chips that they make in house. I had a giant basket of chips and salsa and the agave salmon. Delicious!

Service was excellent, food was delicious, and staff was confident about gluten and dairy No specific GF menu, but they have a separate fryer for the chips that are made in house! Fabulous experience!

Chips are gf! And so is most of the menu! Nothing is marked on the menu but the staff is knowledgeable. I had the fish tacos.

Had 2 chicken tacos, chips, black beans and rice. Everything was great! The server told me that mostly the entire menu is gluten free and told me which foods to avoid. Overall great experience at the Long Beach location.

Had a great meal, wonderful server.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They claim almost everything is gluten free but I have eaten there twice and had reactions both times. Perhaps if you are not very sensitive you will be fine but likely their sauces have distilled vinegar (not wheat free) or there is cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

Great option for Celiacs. Very knowledgeable wait staff took me through how most thinks on the menu were good options for me, what I needed to avoid, and what could be done to change certain items prep to make them c-friendly. I had tacos (beef and carnitas) beans and rice, chips and salsa, and an amazing view. No problems as all.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The chips were fried in a separate fryer and were great. The tacos lacked flavor. I felt safe the staff new what was gf. I tested it with Nima and it said no gluten.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was very knowledgeable about gluten free options. Our server doubled checked to ensure our dinner was indeed gluten free including sauces and cheese. The food was to die for and the Filet Mignon topped Nachos we’re out of this world. We will definitely be back next time we are at the Beach

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent food. Many gluten free options. I had no reaction and I've had problems with other Mexican food that was supposed to be gluten free.

We had a great experience eating here with a large group. Our waiter was extra cautious and double checked several items that we thought were gluten free to confirm before he would let us order. They make their own corn tortillas and keep corn & wheat fried items in different friers.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Shrimp tacos were delicious. Only complaint came from the kids as the chips had a slightly spicy seasoning as did the kids’ enchiladas but my husband I loved everything and can’t wait to go back! Beautiful views as well

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Server brought my the wrong food after I told them I was celiac. I ate a bite then realized there was sauce on it. They were unhelpful afterwards and did not ask to comp my meal even though I did not eat it. I’ve been there before with the same waiter and no problems. Beware if you are celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

Amazing food! As another reviewer pointed out, the prices are not cheap, but I’ll gladly pay for great food and this was great food! Plus, I didn’t get sick. Corn chips are cooked in dedicated fryer and were probably the best corn chips I have ever had.

I had the ribeye fajitas... awesome!

I hear the skinny margaritas are excellent!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Super yummy food. 90% of the menu is gluten free with no changes. What a treat!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The chips are so fresh and fried in dedicated fryer! The tacos are very tasty! Mojitos and margaritas are amazing!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Offered to adjust any menu item to be gluten free. Chips in a dedicated fryer. Best strawberry frozen margaritas I’ve had in a while. Price sticker aside, this one was two thumbs up. 👍🏼👍🏼

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fun vibe with friendly staff and wonderful ocean views. Chips fried in dedicated fryer and homemade tacos were prepared with all corn tortillas. Quality ingredients and inspired menu makes this a great destination for higher end Mexican eating and drinking.
