Most of their menu was naturally gluten free. I asked the waiter to still please let the chef know that I absolutely could not have any gluten, and they kindly informed me that all food containing gluten is made in a different area. The food was delicious, and the service was great! The prices were reasonable too. Highly recommend! Did NOT get sick

We had dinner here tonight. They had a good selection of tacos other dishes. Lot’s of gluten -free options with a dedicated kitchen space. Their online menu even has an allergen list when ordering. So that you can check off as needed. Specifics such as Celiac Disease, Shell fish, gluten, corn, soy, etc. The food was great. I will go there again.

Empanadas and Yuca y queso for starters and they were amazing! Several interesting GF tacos on the menu and the Quessabirria and Al Pastor were both delicious. Almost everything on the menu was GF. The service was friendly and nice.

So good we went twice! Everything on the menu except one item is GF. Everyone is knowledgeable about GF. Our favorites were the yucca fries and empanadas.

The food and cocktails at el Gallo were great! We had the queso with fried yucca starter. The tacos were all very good but the birria was definitely the star. Nearly everything is marked gluten free so I felt very safe ordering

Waitress specifically went to the kitchen to notify them to use a separate cooking surface and the tacos were amazing!! Great experience and great food.

We loved our food. It was fresh and different and delicious. We online ordered during COVID so if we’d been in the store we could have talked with the servers, but two items marked GF on the menu were served with wheat buns. I was crushed! If you go there please talk with them to confirm GF. We wasted money because we couldn’t eat those items. I reiterate though, the food was terrific and no one got sick. (Two celiacs in family.)

Just came across this new Mexican restaurant that opened 2 months ago. Staff is really friendly and accommodating. Menu has GF items listed. No GF fryer at this time. Steak taco was really good.
