They do not have a seperate fryer. Things are clearly marked. I was not impressed with the quality of the food.

OMG.......so delicious! Very celiac aware, lots of choices and fantastic service. Our server Abbey suggested the clementine arugula salad and the street taco sampler....... amazingly tasty! The chips are not made in a designated fryer so I couldn't have them but they allowed me to go across the street and buy some chips to bring in!!! The guac is to die for, fresh and tasty and salsas are equally yummy! Can't wait to come back!!!

Good food but ask questions. Waiter sad the tortilla chips are GF but cooked in fryer with breaded products—so not GF.

Looking online it looks like there are a lot of gf options which is great. But anything fried (even corn tortillas and chips) are not gf. So that limits the possibilities but it was still good. I got the matador bowl without tortilla strips and it was pretty good. Waitress knew what she was talking about.

The tortilla chips are NOT gluten free even though listed as gluten free. They are fried in a shared fryer. Food was just okay. Will not return. Service was horrible.

We have eaten here a dozen times with no adverse reactions. Happy hour cuts the food prices drastically. Recommend the Brussel sprouts and goat cheese jalapeños.
