Overall, I was pleased with this restaurant. They had a gluten-free menu readily available and though our server was not completely familiar with GF, she tried hard and went back to ask the cook staff anything she didn't know.

The gluten-free appetizers were great and I LOVED the chips.

My two main issues were 1) I would have liked some rice to go with my meal, but there was none listed on the gluten-free menu. A little surprised by that, especially since they had a cilantro-lime rice which is pretty easy to make from scratch and make gf; and 2) my order was not gf when it came out.

I had ordered the seafood enchiladas from the gluten-free menu, so they should have come out in corn tortillas. However, upon checking, my enchiladas were made from flour tortillas. This was immediately rectified and apologized for - several times actually. The waitress felt pretty bad over a mistake that was easily caught, plus for my trouble they comped my entree.

A few missteps, but I would definitely go back, especially for the chips and the Queso Fundito.

Management is very concerned about GF needs & the food being prepared properly. I had an issue once out of all the times we have been there, the Mgr took care of it right away, he went above & beyond my expectations. Note: the ONLY 2 meats that are allowed is the Chicken & Steak!!! Ground Beef is NOT GF! No matter what anyone says, it's NOT GF if it has Ground Beef, this is per the General Mgr, Tom...spoke w him personally as this was the issue I had w the wrong meat on my Naked Nachos. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! We eat there or I do a few times a month, I can have my Tex-Mex w/o having to deal w all the hassle! They will also substitute on the kids Quesadilla (sp?) if a GF "allergy". We order our son the Cheese Quesadilla w a Corn Tortilla vs the wheat & he hasn't had any issues either.

Came to this casual and nice sit-down restaurant with a group for dinner during our visit to see the Sandhill crane migration. Good basic Tex-Mex options with good GF availability. Our server was not that knowledgeable about celiac and GF but he immediately realized he was out of his depth and arranged for the expert to come help with our order. GF options are limited but well marked and delicious- we shared the enchiladas (we got one each of bean, chicken and beef - you can order one of each, you have to ask the server!) and the shrimp fajitas. We were initially told the chips are not GF so we avoided them, but the expert later told us they were GF, prepared in a dedicated fryer, so we had some at the end. Did not get sick at all, loved the food, happy to find a reliable GF place in Grand Island!

Combined gluten-free and vegetarian menu. Most items with corn tortillas can be made gluten-free. Some sauces are gluten-free. Tortilla chips are listed as gluten-free, but I didn't asked about a dedicated fryer.

I am new to this Gluten free life style. They where very friendly. The menu did not have tons to choose from but a good selection. I ordered the Taco Salad with pulled chicken which was very good. I will definitely be going back.

They have a gf menu which states which drinks are gf and that their chips and salsa are gf which I appreciated. Servers seemed pretty knowledgeable. I felt safe eating here and good afterwards. The food was average but I really just want a safe meal these days.
