Solid Mexican food, but do be aware: Chips and RICE are both cross-contamination concerns due to shared fryer. Yes, they FRY the rice before cooking it. Our recent takeout order was very clearly marked on these items.

Blackened fish tacos were way good! Spicy but not terrible. The bartender/waiter was super nice and good with the gluten sensitive ordering. Chips, salsa, rice all good and didnt make me sick. I will for sure return for more tacos , rice, black beans, chips and salsa!

Menu is clearly marked with GF options and there are many. Typically have bottled Alt Brew GF beer on hand. No dedicated fryer.

The steak tacos were amazing and the tortillas had to be some of the best I've ever had. Their margaritas were also fantastic! My Nima sensor assured me the food was safe and I definitely didn't get sick.

Do not order any chips or fried items because those are in a shared fryer. I also remind my waitress or waiter multiple times when I go to eat.

They identify it on the menu as Gluten Sensitive and I am. I have celiac and had a reaction within an hour after their tacos. Pretty sure the tacos had soft flour shells. No separate fryer so chips are mixed with gluten items . . . Or as the waiter said gluten floating in the oil. Ugh

The young man who waited on us was in a rush. He told us that the kitchen would take precautions against cross contamination and not to worry. Unfortunately, we arrived home and my husband became very ill. I'll assume it was the waiter's fault as we went to the restaurant based on the good reviews others have given on this website.

Large selection of delicious food. Three of us ate lunch for about $36. We all had the 3 taco plates where you you could pick 3 different tacos. I could eat here every day for a week and have enjoy it.

Gluten free items are marked on menu. Server was very knowledgable about Celiac Disease precautions and took good care of us. Food was pretty solid. Only one gluten-free beer (New Grist) currently but lots of other choices for drinks.
