The green salsa is GF and they will grill corn tortillas to dip in it. The are able to make the majority of their items GF. The place is extremely loud and service is slow. The food was ok.

Our server was very familiar with GF. Told me immediately that the chips are a shared fryer and the salsa is made with soy sauce. Replaced my chips with veggies for guacamole.

Delightful! Angel guided us through the menu and was extremely knowledgeable in both gluten and kitchen prep. We enjoyed the roasted pork shoulder with grilled corn tortillas and roasted butternut squash tacos. All amazing! We’ll be returning!

No gluten free menu. Staff was knowledgeable. Not many choices. Cannot have the chips. They brought me veggies for my guacamole. I had the pork shoulder tacos. Delicious.

The server was not able to offer much as far as what could be made gluten free. Not very accommodating.

Staff is very knowledgeable and takes gluten free very seriously. I was disappointed to find that many of the meats in the taco dishes were beer battered. Also, they do fry their tortillas in the deep fryer but told me they omitted that step for me to make my meal celiac friendly!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very knowledgeable of the menu and kitchen staff. Was able to point out everything that I could safely eat. Super helpful and friendly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ate here for a company dinner so I had a set dinner, but the staff was excellent with my celiac needs. They literally brought me every option that was on the pre set menu as a gluten free version. The waitress was extremely attentive to my needs. I use this app every day and don’t add enough reviews but felt compelled to list this, especially when I saw that the reviews were mixed.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I'm celiac and I got sick after eating here.

Celiac friendly?

No

I had a poor experience on my visit here, but don’t want that to completely color this review as I did take away some positives.

First the positives

1. The food I had was very tasty 2. The hostess and waiter were friendly

Now the negatives

1. Took a long time after being seated before I ever saw my waiter. He apologized and blamed a shift change. 2. I had read, and was told by the hostess upon my arrival that they catered to those who had gluten issues. This proved to be a half truth at best, as they in most instances they only serve things that are naturally gluten free. Things like chips to go with salsa or guacamole were a no go, as I was told they don’t have a dedicated fryer for gluten free. 3. Ditto on any gluten free beers, they don’t hav any. 4. A very small margarita was $14.00! A side of corn... $8.00! Three miniature bbq tacos... $12.00. I left $36.70 lighter (before tip) and still hungry!

To be clear, everything tasted good, but the price and lack of gluten free offerings makes this place a non-starter for any future visits for me.

Your mileage may vary.

Excellent food. We asked for veggies with the guacamole and had amazing kale salads with shrimp. Lots of options on corn tortillas

Staff was extremely knowledgeable about Gluten free and cross contamination . Even had gluten free salsa , their regular salsa has soy . Awesome tacos, homemade guac at the table . Offered fresh vegetables because they had no GF chips - losing 1 star . Would be so easy to keep a bag of gf chik s to go with Guac. I do appreciate they knew the normal chips are contaminated . Celiac safe .

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was excellent. Wait staff very informed and can make most things gluten free. Adapted one of the appetizers just for me and gave me my own plate of them as I was the only gf diner in my group of 4
