Overall Rating

Review


The menu has very poor fully gluten free/ celiac friendly items due to the shared deep frier which has churros in it.

Service was very good, and the server and kitchen were very careful to ensure I could have a gluten free meal. But for a Mexican restaurant with amazing sounding food to deep fry nearly all the corn tortillas on the menu (any tortilla chips, tortilla strips on the salad or soup, all tostadas, corn crusted octopus) as well as some meats (pork and others) makes it NOT as celiac friendly as the dish descriptions would suggest.

Overall, if you are going with a group you will be able to eat something and the fish I had was very good,, but don't go if you are expecting to eat what could be fully gluten free due to nearly all the corn based dishes ending up in the deep frier.
