When ordering I let the waiter know that I have celiac disease, and he went to get his manager. The manager was very knowledgeable. He let me know the items on the menu that would be the safest for people with celiacs disease and assured me that my food would be safe. No reactions. Would eat here again. Delicious!

The waitstaff seemed very informed about celiac safety when I ate in person but there is no ability to specify allergies in takeout and no allergen information listed on the menu. The chicken enchiladas are not gluten free as listed on the menu. They have to replace Jose’s rice with white rice and the enchilada sauce with salsa. At that point, why bother?The beef enchiladas are not able to be made gluten free. I don’t know what other food is safe. The chips are safe, but not other fried food.
the staff is aware and helpful, the manager assured us that they have a dedicated fryer for chips so they are celiac safe. beware that other fried items are cross-contaminated. they are able to substitute with corn tortillas, however i would recommend confirming with the servers that you have received corn tortillas
Only could have fajits, but they seemed to know what was gluten free when asked
Great chicken fajitas with corn tortillas. I had white rice and black beans. They offered extra guacamole for free. The chips and salsa are gluten free too.
Sat outside on the patio for lunch in Burlington. Server was excellent. She verified the Gf status with the chef. I enjoyed the chicken enchiladas with a ranchero sauce , white rice - no black beans- not safe for celiac. Tasty meal and I felt great afterwards. Kudos to them for understanding gluten free.
