Staff acts like you're an alien and are zero help. Seriously, Mexican food is like one of the easiest things you can make gf. I had 2 tacos and got sick as a dog. I will not be going back. Bad food, bad service, bad experience.

Have never been sick here. You have to go online to see what's GF, and if you order online, you CAN mark a celiac allergy. I've eaten here many many times, but you t Do have to be proactive and not expect the waitstafft9 walk you through it.

Terrible experience. I was informed that nothing on their menu is GF or safe for me to eat, not even a salad. I was also told that their chips are fried in the same fryers. After questioning extensively, it was then determined that a salad was safe if the tortilla strips were removed. I ordered that. My salad came out with tortilla strips on it. They did offer to remake it, but the rest of my party had already received their food before me and were almost finished. In addition, I just didn’t feel safe to eat anything there at this point. I hope others have a better experience than I did. I sat there while everyone else at my table ate.

Yuck. My daughter ate in and brought me something home. She had to clearly define what gluten free meant, in spite of their claims to serve gf. Had to return her food, as it was served contaminated. My food was really bad. Super salty tortilla soup. Just don’t.

The staff was incredibly kind to acknowledge and address my needs. The corn chips and corn tacos are safe to eat - they also offer lettuce wraps. I’m also dairy free and easily found many choices. They were cautious to change gloves and prepare my meal separately.

Most tacos can be modified to be gluten free. Servers very knowledgeable about cross contamination. Ate here a couple of times without an issue!

The manager is very knowledgeable on gluten free items and made suggestions to us. Most items can be made gluten free. Servers have a button to mark the items “allergy” so that extra precaution is taken while preparing your meal. So far my daughter has been able to eat here with no issues.

I ordered the Black & Blue hard shell tacos. They fry the shells in a separate frier- SO DELICIOUS! Ask for Tony or Anita if you have an allergy, they take it very seriously. I’ve been 3 times in one week!!! They were training someone new who in a hurry accidentally cross contaminated the frier… Anita and Tony took care of me by having a whole separate pot of oil on the stove so there was no cross contamination. I think we’ll start going at least once a week! I’m not sure what other items are safe so I’ll need to ask next time.

It was ok. My server didn’t know anything about gluten. They had a gluten-free symbol next to the types of taco shells you could choose, but no other menu items were marked GF. When I pointed out the gluten free symbol to our server, he said “if that says gluten free, then those are gluten-free”. I react to the spice in Mexican rice, so I ordered double black beans. It came with the rice on my plate & the server didn’t return until we were 1/2 way through the meal. The food was ok. Not the best. The chips and salsa were very good, but you pay ala carte.

You can’t eat the chips or anything fried because they use the same fryer, so cross-contamination. I ended up with a burrito bowl. I’m tired of asking about every single thing on the menu.
