My server and the manager were wonderful. They checked everything before serving it to me. Gluten-free chips aren’t on the menu, but they had them upon request. Had the Shrimp Fajita Salad. Ranch wasn’t Gluten-free, so I added their green sauce. So good!

Two stars because they do have a GF menu (ask the hostess). However, their back of house process are broken and my GF was served gluten. We caught it two or three bites in.

We spoke with the manager and she agreed to re-evaluate processes. Kitchen did not get the message that the dish was supposed to be GF.

Our waitresses were awesome and sympathetic, they asked the kitchen lots of questions for us to make sure we avoided cross contamination. They have a separate gluten free menu that you can ask for, which is pretty small but has some tasty options! They special made my fiancé chips using the oven instead of the fryer. So far he has no gastrointestinal issues!

My husband loves Mexican food and found this place that carry gluten-free menu. He ordered tamales, lime rice and refried beans. It was delicious and very pleased with the waitress that are familiar with gluten-free. Also have baked tortillas chips that are gluten-free with sauces. Will definitely come back.

My husband and I eat here regularly. They have a gluten sensitive menu. There is no dedicated fryer, but they will bring you baked chips. Only one of the salasas (green) is gluten free. Portions are huge and we always have left overs. Staff is always nice.

The other reviews are incorrect- you ask for gluten free chips. They have a gluten free section of the menu with about eight items.

This place has a limited gluten “sensitive” list on their menu. Mexican food tends to be naturally gluten free, so I was surprised it was such a small list. But, it was tasty. Chips probably are CC, we didn’t ask (husband with celiac didn’t eat them).
