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

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.

January 2023 edit: They’ve done away with all gluten free labeling on their menu 🙁

Original Review: This is one of my go-to restaurants in town. Their menu has a GF icon to easily spot safe menu items, and there are quite a few. The food is delicious, served quickly, and fairly priced. Table-side guacamole is delicious and the manager frequently makes rounds and is very friends. Love this restaurant and highly recommend!

Had delicious chicken and spinach burrito, margaritas, and chips with salsa. Server went back to kitchen to verify the chips are fried in a dedicated fryer, at my request. She verified that they are, so I ate them. I am a sensitive celiac and had no problems whatsoever.

Tortilla chips are fried in a shared fryer. I got sick after eating them, so I called to ask. The person on the phone confirmed that everything is fried in one fryer. Use caution!

Plaza offers several GF options on their menu. My go-to is chicken fajitas with corn tortillas. Beans and rice are also GF. I have asked if they make their chips in a separate fryer and they said yes. I enjoyed these chips without issue. And gosh their salsa and pico are so good!

Please note that the table-side guacamole is listed on the menu as gluten free but the chips are fried in a shared fryer and are not safe for celiacs. I ordered enchiladas and the food came out quickly and was very good with no issues.

Lots of gluten free options listed in an easy-to-read way in the menu. Have had several and never been sick, and I’m rather sensitive with my celiacs. The wait staff is extremely quick as well and the food is amazing!

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

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.

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!

Been here several times - fajitas are always an easy go to, just ask for corn tortillas. Chips are fried in a shared fryer so if you’re avoiding cross contamination don’t eat them - I bring my own to enjoy the guacamole. Apparently they used to have GF right on the menu but changed the menus and it no longer states it. Some servers are more knowledgeable than others so I stick to eating the same things Everytime I go.

Poor experience - didn't even make it past the hostess. We walked in and I asked about gluten free options. She started talking about vegetarian options. I asked if I could speak to someone else. Another person came over and said they don't have separate fryers or dedicated space. Decided it was not worth the risk for my daughter with Celiac.
