Review


Really cute place. The waiter didn’t inspire much confidence when I placed my order and asked them to prepare carefully/separately but she said she’d double check with the kitchen staff. She said the huevos rancheros would be safe and they would separately pan fry the corn tortilla instead of frying it in a shared fryer. Unfortunately, they brought out my meal (along with my friend’s regular huevos rancheros) and mixed them up. We both took a bite and realized we had the wrong ones. I had even asked the food runner to confirm and he pointed to the one I was served as the gf one. They apologized for the mistake but said “thankfully it’s just celiac and not a severe allergy” lol. To add insult to injury, the gf one was very sub par to the regular one. They comped my meal and I let the waitress know that the food runner confidently pointed out the wrong one. I would approach this place with caution. They have a few gf options listed on their regular menu (not the brunch one) but there’s definitely cross contamination risk here.
