A lot of the menu can be made gluten free. They said they only fry corn products in their fryers so their chips are currently fair game.

Told they did not have a dedicated fryer and chips were unsafe. Gluten free at surface level, with obvious recommendations to not eat the burritos (duh...) but no info on marinates, sauces, etc.

I love this place! Their menu is mostly GF including their chips. A fan favorite is the guacamole which is served tableside. I eat here regularly and have never been sick and have ordered various items such as the enchilladas, tacos, carnitas, etc. The margaritas are well worth it and I would recommend the 3rd floor area for atmosphere, unless it is nice out and you want to sit on the patio. If you go to the 3rd floor, hopefully you will have the good fortune of meeting Christian or Jessica who will properly take care of your dining or drinking experience.

Really good! Didn’t get sick! Only thing that was a concern was we picked up and when we got home we had to figure out which one was gluten free because they weren’t labeled.

I really wanted Agave to work out for our family as it was one of our favorite places preceliac diagnosis. We were told rice wasn't safe due to cc although looks like others were told otherwise. All of the meats are gluten free as long as they are on the grill as are the chips and guac.whi h is great. My issue was with the disorganization of the wait staff, not the kitchen. She brought is the wrong meals twice and observed 3 other parties on the patio get the wrong food too. Could've been disastrous if we didn't notice and would think waitress would be extra careful knowing we had a food allergy. My husband was given flour tacos instead of corn despite repeatedly trying to ensure that they were corn/gf. Too bad bc the kitchen seems to be knowledgeable and cautious, it was truly a waitstaff issue.

Excellent Tex/Mex. So many choices you may need a while to look over the menu.

If you enjoy one of their margaritas, give yourself a couple of hours to walk it off before you head home.

Yum. We eat here often. Carne asada tacos with refried beans and rice are my favorite. Menu is super friendly and most of the food is gf to begin with.

Excellent staff, delicious food, very good Margaritas. Be sure to put extra money in the meter and take a long walk after having one. This is my most favorite Mexican restaurant. It is actually difficult to think of going anywhere else when I am near this one.

Lots of menu items are naturally gluten free! Tortilla chips are great, and the shredded beef flautas (taquitos). Staff are knowledgable. They also have three great bar areas with awesome margaritas!
