Food was excellent. Felt comfortable. Will be back.

That review was five years ago. Went back recently. Staff not knowledgeable. Foood was not very good. Was nervous about my meal but I didn’t get sick so they must have at least made the food properly. Service was lousy

There are a multitude of delicious gluten free options on the menu without modification. Items are clearly marked and staff is educated about cross contamination. No gluten free frier, but that doesn’t detract from their offerings.

The dinner was delicious but unfortunately even after speaking with the waiter who had an understanding of cross contamination Both my boys got sick. We Ordered the Tortilla appetizer, tamale appetizer, roasted pork leg and flan. All delicious!

We were in Detroit for 5 days and we tried several of the moderately priced restaurants listed here for dinner. This was by far the best. The food was well seasoned and delicious. The price was reasonable and the portions were a good size. We came back for lunch on our last day in Detroit and had the same delicious food, the same size portion for about 25% less.

Staff was knowledgeable about celiacs disease. You should tell them if you have celiacs disease since the fried plantains, a common sidedish in many gluten free dishes, are fried in the same oil as other foods containing gluten. They'll help you out if you just say you want it gluten free though.

Arguably my favorite restaurant in Detroit. I either get the paella or the ropa vieja and a big ol’ glass of sangria. I’ve been a half dozen times since I was diagnosed and have never had an issue.

They are knowledgeable and have a separate prep area. I ordered the duck entree and the chef didn’t give me the plantains because there was a CC risk. Not sure if it’s because it’s fried or something elsebut I’m glad they were knowledgeable enough to keep me from getting sick. It was really good but just a heads up you will be paying about $28 an entree.

I’ve been here twice in the last month. Delicious food and did not have a reaction either time. My non celiac dinner companions like their food too. I had the Medallones De Cerdo the first time and Churrasco Con Chimichurri the second. Great mojitos too!

Yes this place is expensive but it was an amazing place to have a fancy date night. We splurged on their paella! Highly suggest it! No reactions and they do have lots of options on their menu.

Fantastic atmosphere, great food, amazing sangria, wonderful staff. I try to go here everytime I'm back in town. This places is a staple for me (Gluten and Lactose Intolerant) and my mom (Gluten Intolerant). The wait staff is super knowledgeable and occasionally there are additional items on the menu that can be modified even if they aren't marked GF.
