Waiter was amazing, he let us know what items were gluten free and dairy free and if he wasn't sure he double checked. Everything on the menu that was gluten free was labeled. Me and my 3 kids who all have Celiac Disease were able to eat here without getting sick.

We always enjoy eating here when we are in Branson. There are many choices of gluten-free dinners. I had the chicken flautas and last time and they were delicious. This is a good place to eat if you have celiac disease.

Best Mexican food in a long time. GF Menu items clearly marked. Everyone loved what they ordered.

Can’t tell

There are plenty options. Food is too salty though. Hard to enjoy anything. Order tamale and Chile relleno. I will not return. Marginally ok.

Slow service, though, the waiter did check on me after he te-order my items with salsa only. Pretty clean environment.

I had the nachos and had no issues. I am a very sensitive celiac.

This was a great experience! Knowledgeable servers and a menu that listed gluten free

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Foods good, but it wasn’t good enough for what we paid for. They had gluten free options for most of their items, I had the sope. They were good but a little pricey. I’ve had better Mexican elsewhere, so for me, I wouldn’t eat here unless you really want Mexican food.

Ate here with no problems!! The waiters were very knowledgeable and helpful. The menu has a key that shows what is gluten free which is a plus! Would eat here again!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing food and service! We will definitely be going here every visit to Branson

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff is very knowledgeable and had gluten free markings on the menu. They use corn tortillas for most things and what they have tasted so good! No dessert options though, but i definitely recommend their smoothies. Totally will come again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

LOTS of gluten free options. It’s rare to find a celiac safe Mexican restaurant. The food was decent, my friend with the allergy got street tacos and they were amazing! They primarily use corn tortillas for everything. The chips are gluten free regardless of asking and boy were they amazing!!! I would love to go back here with my friend and have her try all of the options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Our server invited the manager over when I voiced my dietary needs. The manager checked in twice after that. He clarified our order when it was put in the system and offered to replace our quac that we ordered before knowing it was served in a flour tortilla. Great experience, easy to read menu, flavorful food with good portions. And not sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I've eaten here twice, last summer and this week. They have many options, separate fryer for chips, and delicious. This is a staple of mine now each trip to Branson!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Brian was our server and he did a wonderful job accommodating my gluten and dairy restrictions. I took off a start because they do warm their flour and corn tortillas is the same spot, but after explaining that was contaminating, they understood. They just used the microwave for the corn tortillas. The rice and beans were safe...as were many other options. I would most definitely eat here again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food, nice that the menu had designated GF items. Clean atmosphere and friendly staff.

Had a very pleasant lunch. The menu was marked gluten free, where applicable, & had many choices. I had one of the best chicken enchiladas, ever. Food was so fresh. Great staff!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was good. Gluten free items clearly noted on the menu. My order was messed up, but they fixed it quickly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There were many GF choices on the menu. I choose the Flautas and a cheese tamale. They were kind of bland so I asked for their verde salsa and it was just what they needed. As of the next morning... no reaction!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I got glutened!!! Ordered chilaquiles, assured that they are gluten-free and had chips, salsa, and cheese dip. Everything was marked on their tiny print, complicated menu as gluten free, but it made me extremely sick...be warned!!

Celiac friendly?

No

It was ok. Nothing special. Get the cheese dip. Don't get flauntas.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So many options, staff was knowledgeable, food was amazing.

As a celiac, I dined here once in 2015 and three times in 2016 and had no gluten reactions. The many gluten-free choices are marked in the menu and most of the staff are knowledgeable. I say "most" because two servers were not fluent in English, but just ask for a manager, if you are not comfortable. We were there on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. The place was packed on Saturday evening at 6:00, but not overly busy the other two nights. I have been pleased to find a Mexican restaurant where I feel safe and have many good gluten-free choices. Many Mexican restaurants seem not to offer GF options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very disappointed! We ate here last year and didn't have any problems, but seems to have changed hands since then. We are both celiac and both got VERY Sick from the gluten here! We had chips and salsa, enchiladas verdes and cheese enchiladas so we should have been safe, but no! Very painful experience!! Also, prices have gone way up and portions much smaller!! Will NOT return!!

Celiac friendly?

No

Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. The menu is clearly marked with gluten-free options....and there are so many!! I had chili rellenos for the first time in ten years!! (they were soft, not crisp, but so tasty, I didn't mind). my sister also ordered gf options so I could taste her authentic style enchiladas with a cold cheese. everything was delicious. The price was so very reasonable. We will definitely come back when next we are in Branson!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This restaurant was awesome! The staff was kind. There were so many gluten free options! I didn't feel limited at all. And the food tasted AMAZING. This was definitely my favorite restaurant to go to in Branson.

Fantastico!! We love Mexican but have never had any this good! Everything, starting with the elegant colors inside, felt upscale. No chintzy decorations here. The menu was beautifully designed, with wonderful pics and great detail taken with descriptions of options and Gluten Free was available on almost everything!!! Definitely try the Gluten Free quesadillas! Can't wait to go back to Branson to eat here again! We ate here 2 of our 3 days in Branson
