Review


I ordered chicken enchiladas with rice and beans without sauce. It was good. Most dishes can be GF by using corn tortillas instead without some sauces. Waiter was pretty knowledgeable and verified with the chef. I’m celiac and had no problems afterwards. DO NOT eat the chips as they are cooked in a shared fryer!! Mojitos are really good. The menu has recently been updated and does not have any GF indications. My husband was happy to eat at a Mexican restaurant again, so we will return as I feel fairly safe dining here.

Review


My best friend and I both have celiac disease. We love coming here at least 2x a month because the food is great and we have never had any reaction. The chips are gluten free and the enchiladas are made with corn tortillas. I usually get a combo of a corn beef taco with a cheese and beef enchilada. The red enchilada sauce is not gluten free but you can get it with the cheese dip or salsa verde instead. My friend always does their steak and chicken mixed fajitas. They have the best margaritas!

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.

Their food never disappoints and we were extra grateful for their attention to my husbands gluten free needs. The server helped us find menu items that used corn rather than flour tortillas (enchiladas) and even came back after speaking to the kitchen to let us know one of the sauces was thickened with flour. He subbed a different salsa and brought us a sample to taste! Things are a little pricey but very worth it for that home cooked Mexican taste!
