Excellent. Many gluten free items. I think but am not certain that the chips are also gluten free, but I have never gotten sick there. Make sure you tell the waitress that you are allergic, and I always (in all restaurants) tell them to write it on the ticket to make sure the chef knows. Also, do that because some dishes can be made gluten free which requires different tortillas, etc. so you need to tell them. Bartender Victor is great, if by yourself or with a friend, consider eating at the bar. There Tequila selection is numerous as well. Enjoy.

Food was excellent with many items marked GF or can be made GF. Yes it is on the expensive side but no outrageously so. No GF beer available however.

The server was knowledgeable. Had the chips and salsa and split the enchiladas. Items are clearly marked GF so easy to navigate the menu.

I ordered to go and after getting my name and phone number, they immediately asked if I had any allergies. It was easy to order and the online menus have everything clearly marked! There is even a key to help indicate what is naturally gluten free and what can be made gluten free!

The food itself was good but definitely americanized.

Lots of clearly marked GF options on the menu and felt pretty confident they understood cross-contamination. Chips and salsa/guac were good, but rest of our food was all very mediocre. We ordered several different items among our family of 5 and everything was that way.

Excellent gluten free marking, food was very good, and the staff was knowledgeable. I don’t have an issue with cross-contamination, so I didn’t ask, but overall was very impressed.
