Ask for Tammy to serve you. She’s celiac and walked us through all the safe options. I had mole enchiladas and our kiddo (also GF, DF, PF) had carnitas street tacos. The tacos didn’t have a ton of flavour/seasoning but filled her belly. The mole had a nice amount of spice and they use almond butter (not peanut). The rice and beans were basic (as in most US Mexican restaurants). There’s a shared fryer so don’t do the tortilla chips or anything fried if celiac.

Stopped by after our Pearl Harbor experience and we are so glad we did. Our waitress was clear on what could be made gluten free and what couldn't. The chips were listed on their menu as gf, but when we ordered them she said they share oil and that they are working to change the menu so be aware of that. They took care and concern and I felt comfortable having my symptomatic son eat there.

With such great reviews, we decided to try this restaurant. As said before, Tammy was excellent as a waitress and made my very sensitive celiac daughter feel comfortable with ordering. It was a great dinner! Highly recommend!

We discovered this humble restaurant by chance & are so glad we did! The food is authentic & delicious! The service is great with friendly staff who are helpful & professional at the same time. The menu has plenty of choice and the gluten free items are marked clearly. The staff was excellent in accommodating my gluten free preferences. We ordered the chicken enchiladas with mole sauce & a plate of carne asada tacos! Even though the restaurant was busy, the food came quickly & we loved every bite! Look forward to visiting again!

The server is gluten-intolerant, and she was very helpful. My mother and I ate there, and neither of us reacted, and we’re both celiac and become immediately symptomatic if we eat gluten. Food was good. The chips aren’t gluten-free just fyi.

Wonderful food with clearly marked gluten free options. Server also has celiac disease and was able to recommend her favorites. There was not a dedicated fryer however so chips are cross contaminated…plenty of delicious food without chips. Dairy free accommodations also made for my daughter. Lovely meal.

Server Tammy was very helpful in working with us and chef to make sure no cross contamination. She lives a GF life. She told us what would be best to order and what to avoid. We had the beef fajitas with corn tortillas. They cooked the beef in a separate pan and not on the grill. Tammy made sure chef understood how to make things so there would be no gluten.
