Just went and the hostess was not confident about having gluten free options. She said “I don’t know, you can get a salad” and kinda laughed at me. I didn’t feel confident and chose not stay.

Great ambience and friendly staff! GF drinks available. GF me he is friendly only. I unfortunately got very sick. It must have been a pretty decent amount of contamination because my body reacted quickly. My friend spoke w them after I left and they immediately said it is not a gf kitchen. Be aware Celiac folks.

The food was really amazing and the whole atmosphere was super cute. I got the tacos birria and they were really delicious. The waiter was not super knowledgeable but was very nice and asked the chef to make sure things were safe, but he did say the chips were cross-contaminated.

A family friendly place… with LOUD music, & fire dancer that came out at the end of our meal on a Friday evening. I have severe allergies to gluten— and happily didn’t get sick after eating there…. 😅

I made a build your own Margarita from the bar they have … which is a must at least once!! And their chip and salsa were great… our waiter insisted they were made in a dedicated GF fryer. I split the short rib mocajete with my hubby!!! They did modify it— eliminating the sausage and fried onions both due to containing gluten. But, the flavor was incredibly satisfying. Their rice & beans were authentically delicious!! I would highly recommend & will be back when we’re in town again!!
