This is the third Carlos O'Kelly's that we have been to, while traveling over the past two weeks. One of them, we went to twice. This particular one did not impress us....except in a negative way. The food did not taste the same and certainly wasn't as good. The chicken breast, that my husband got (and that he had gotten at another of their restaurants) seemed to be a processed chicken with that reconstituted taste and texture of a McDonald's chicken nugget (spongy texture, is a good way to describe it). After addressing our concerns to our pleasant server, regarding whether or not it was actually gluten free, the manager working that day, assured us that all O'Kelly's food was the same and obtained from the same source. My husband, who has Celiac disease, did not finish the chicken and after tasting it myself, I agreed with his assessment. The fajitas, that I ordered, also did not taste nearly as good as what I had eaten at their two other restaurants.... Nor did the salsa, chips or queso. We won't be back to this location....
