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!
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.

Love the chips here. They have a separate gf menu with tons of items. Highly recommend the brisket tacos! Staff was knowledgeable about gf.
4.5 stars. Jumbo margaritas on Thursday special had a tiny amount of alcohol in them. Mild salsa is very mild, spicy is very spicy. But charge extra to get a little of each on the side. Had the two enchiladas with steak and brisket. Quite good!

We love every Carlos O’ Kelly’s! It is so delicious! They have great queso and I never get sick from the chips personally!
I ordered quesadillas on corn tortillas, not an option on their designated allergen menu, but a great option if you aren't so much bothered by cross contamination on the grill. Our server was very helpful and acknowledged my allergy when we ordered.
Little options for celiac. Got a bowl of ingredients literally.
Never gotten sick in the 8+ times of eating here. Tortilla chips are fried in a dedicated fried. Food is ok but safe. Happy hour is actually a great deal though!
I had the chicken fajitas with corn wraps. I also ate the chips and salsa. I am very sensitive to gluten and had no issues with the food I ate.
