It's not online, but they do offer a gluten free menu with plenty of choices. Hard or soft corn tortillas are available. Our server was very good about checking about potential cross contamination and genuinely interested in assuring safety (very appreciated as we are celiac).

Their chips are made in a fryer shared with gluten items, but our waiter made us chips from hard shells heated in the oven. We asked for our soft corn tortillas to be heated with foil over the metal plates. They were out of foil so they microwaved them. That wasn't great so they gave us heated hard shells instead.

We went there tonight for dinner & when I asked for the gf menu. I was told a manager will be over to talk to me. He came over & I was told they no longer have a gf menu because they can no longer guarantee the food will be gluten free. He then said something about changing suppliers. This location needs to be removed from the the list of safe places.

They weren’t able to provide a menu with gf options, called their offerings gluten friendly, and I got sick after taking a chance and eating the recommended steak fajitas with corn tortillas.

This place is the freaking bomb! Because their fried taco shells are made at a central location, FRIED TACO SHELLS ARE BACK ON THE MENU. Also, since they can just use fried taco shells as the "chips," chips and salsa are back on the menu. Only mexican food place in town where I c an eat chips salsa. ALSO, the enchiladas are safe! Bon Appetit!

I took down two stars because on my last visit, it seemed the gf taco shells had changed dramatically in quality. They are still gluten free. But they seemed to be thicker, much less crispy and not very good. Lets be honest i go here for the ability to eat crispy fried taco shells as chips with salsa and the crispy taco shells. If those suck, i probably wont go here. It was nice while it lasted though.

Nima approved grilled shrimp and veggies (not so good on the dry side salad).
