While this restaurant has several gluten free options marked on the menu, they didn’t seem to have the ability or creativity to alter much. It took several trips to the kitchen to discover that the chips are fried in a shared fryer. When asked if a corn tortilla could be toasted as a substitute for chips, I was told no. They are only prepared in the fryer. When I requested some plain corn tortillas, they did provide me with some warm ones and my own salsa, however, there was an extra charge for them on the bill, even though fried chips and salsa was provided for free. The menu didn’t list which side items were gluten free so I had to make some judgement calls, like the rice was probably okay (it was). The menu didn’t point out necessary substitutions on their items marked gluten free (ie. chicken served with flour tortillas, I need to sub corn ones and if I hadn’t asked, it wouldn’t have been done.)
In short, if you don’t want chips and you can stick to the menu options they have, and you are savvy enough to decipher the menu, it’s fine. But there are other mexican restaurants out there that are much more accommodating.

Chips were not gluten free but great options on the menu. Also had vegan (both meat substitute and veggie options) and dairy free.

Menu is no longer marked. The hostess had no idea what gluten was. Our server said the tacos, fajitas, enchiladas and nachos are made with corn tortillas but she was unsure if there was anything else in them that might have gluten. My corn tortillas tasted old and were extremely tough. Be cautious if you come here

Great food, chicken fajitas were really good. The chips are in a separate fryer. Knowledgeable staff.

Tortilla chips are not cooked in a separate fryer. Celiac child had a taco salad and seemed ok but that was the only item she could eat.

I called ahead asking about gluten free options and the hostess let me know the server could point out what can be made gf on the menu. She mentioned the chips were not made in a shared fryer. When we were seated the server said the enchiladas, tacos, and fajitas could be made with corn tortillas. The server dis mention the salad flour tortilla were fried in the same chip oil so they would not be safe. I asked about the beans and rice that were served with them and he was unsure so the manager came out. The manager asked if it was celiac or an intolerance and I let him know I was celiac. He told me the beans were fine as they make them fresh everyday with vegetable oil and spices, but he was unsure of the rice because of the bullion they use. They could make me a white rice instead with corn. He also let me know he would inform the kitchen. I ended up ordering chicken fajitas, white rice, and beans. Everything was good and I had no reaction.
