January, 2017: Met a group of gals here who were in town for a conference. They accommodated a reservation request and the table was ready upon our arrival. The service was very nice and our server was able to make a lot of recommendations. The infused tequila is made in-house using fruits or peppers, etc. and gluten free. Again, I wish the menu was marked with GF options as most of the menu is GF and they do have vegetarian options marked. Still, the food was yummy and celiac safe.

June, 2015: Went on a date to The Fruiteria and was instantly at ease once I talked to the waiter and manager. The call ahead made me nervous but both waiter and manager were very knowledgable about gluten free and need to avoid cross contamination.Only 3 dishes on that night's menu were off limits for me. Tortilla chips are corn and made in a dedicated frier. Gluten free was communicated to the chef who took extra prep precautions to avoid any contamination. Delicious, fresh, gf food from a local gem! No ill effects afterwards - I'll definitely be going back!The reason for 4 vs 5 stars is I wish their gf menu items were marked (the vegetarian ones are identified on the menu).
