The waitstaff initially could not guarantee the chips were not cross contaminated but they did say that flour products were not intentionally fried with the Tortilla chips. So I tested the Tortilla chips with my Nima tester and they tested Gluten Free. I also ordered the steak fajita with corn tortillas, extra guacamole, no sour cream, no cheese (because I'm also allergic to dairy). Black beans were substituted for refried beans. The waitstaff told the kitchen to cook the tortillas in aluminum foil separately to avoid cross contamination. The waitstaff was very understanding, accommodating and helpful. I would recommend eating here. However, they seemed reluctant to promise that there was zero risk of cross-contamination. I appreciated their honesty.
