This place is so inconsistent. One day is the greatest meal you’ve ever had, the next time you get food poisoning. There are items which are in theory gf but I often get sick after eating there. But it’s literally around the corner from my place and sometimes you’re starving and just need a god damn taco

Waitress was nice and told us what we could order gluten free, she then returned to say no those items are not . I had ok food —the people that could eat gluten were not impressed with their food either . My suggestion is if you have Celiac disease , stay away . Very limited lunch menu

Not good for celiac disease-- travelling from out of town, came here based on the reviews on this app, and it was terrible. The waitress was friendly, assured us we could be accomodated, but she returned after each order to tell us what we were told was gf actually wasnt. I ended up ordering a salad, which they put wheat tortilla strips on, the waitress brought it back to the kitchen and they just removed the strips and sent back the same salad covered in crumbs. My mother, also celiac, ordered carnitas tacos and said they tasted ok. Also overheard the bartender make a flippant comment about the gf order saying "i dont care, so she wont eat it then." If you have celiac disease, go anywhere else. The gluten-eating members of our party did not care for the food either. Very limited lunch menu as well. Margarita was not good either.

Great little place, fairly busy on a Saturday afternoon. Our server, Kristen, (sp?) was very knowledgeable about what was celiac safe. My gluten-eating partner was just as pleased with his Quesadillas as I was with my Carnitas Tacos...and the queso was divine! Highly recommended 👍👍

Items are not marked on the menu, but the staff has been incredibly knowledgeable every time I've been in to point out what is GF. The steak tacos are fantastic, nachos are delicious, and the drinks are tasty!

This place is great. The enchiladas are made with with flour tortillas DONT ORDER. Corn not an option. Also, the chicken and steak are marinaded in soy sauce. Best bet is pork tacos, ask for corn tortillas

Great options that are naturally gluten free, though not marked on the menu. Very educated staff that can point out options. I love the pork tacos and enchiladas. Server indicated that pork and beef are safe but chicken and tofu contain seasonings that aren't safe. I've also eaten the plain chips with guacamole and the margaritas without a problem.
