It was so sad:( They do have a dedicated gluten free section of their menu but it was guacamole, beans, rice and ground beef hard tacos only. No queso, fajitas, corn tortillas, etc… Their regular menu is extensive so I was shocked that they didn’t have more options available. They apparently add flour to everything! We chose to leave and go somewhere else.

Separate, detailed menu for gluten intolerant individuals. I got the chicken fajitas with romaine leafs and they were incredible! They even baked my chips to ensure there was no cross-contamination. Super friendly and accommodating, which is something I rarely see when ordering at a restaurant.

The waiter was exceptional and even explained (without me asking) how my food was prepared to make sure there is not cross contamination. The menu is limited but the pork fajitas were really good. They bake the chips instead of frying them to ensure that they aren't cross contaminated. The gm came to our table.

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).
