First off, the staff here is amazing! They are very nice and and super helpful.

After I was informed by the server that he wasn’t sure what was in the chicken’s seasoning I ended up testing my chicken tacos (the chicken specifically) with my Nima Gluten Sensor and it tested positive for gluten. They brought me chips and guacamole (that are gluten free) complimentary after the tacos tested positive.

The staff was all very apologetic and eager to make it right. We spoke to the head chef two days later and after further research it was determined that the chicken stock contains gluten. Again, the staff was great. It meant so much that they didn’t just brush this off, but instead were determined to discover what the culprit was. They were very appreciative it was brought to their attention, and I was very grateful they cared so much!

Fabulous and friendly service, great meal—we had the beef and the chicken Tacos! Checked all my allergies, gluten and double checked. They were so contentious!

After the reviews here I think this must be a good GF restaurant. But I was really shocked how they served me. The waitresses don't know about GF at all. They all said different things. I didn't have a good feeling and I told them that I was going to look for another place to have dinner. Then they send me the 'boss' and she told me the right things. She gave me a safe feeling. For a place that is big advertising with 'GF options' I think it can be much better to informate the waitresses about GF!!!

Wow a great experience here! They advertise in there menu that a lot of dishes can be glutenfree. We had there de nacho ‘s (vega possible) with chicken, It was great. And we had the fajita ‘s glutenfree (vega/ beef/ chicken possible), you don’t get the wraps, but instead 3 taco shells with the fajita menu, the taste was great! The staff know’s a lot about Glutenfree.

Good food, the waiters did know what was possible or not. He attended us that the rice and chicken was cooked in bouillon which can contains gluten, so we ordered the menu of the day, that was surf en turf with gluten free fries! Very tasty and good!

This place is wonderful. Great nachos, excellent tacos and GF fries! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. It says right on the outside menu to ask about allergies. As a Celiac I felt safe here and had not problem. No desserts. Going back again before we leave. Enjoy!

There is writing on their large menu outside the restaurant that says to speak to the manager about any food allergies. The server I had both times was very knowledgeable and walked me through the menu of what items can be prepared gluten free. They are aware of cross contamination and assured me that they prepare gluten free items in a separate dedicated space. Also, separate dedicated fryer for French fries so they are safe to eat! Ate here without any issues. Oh, and the food is DELICIOUS!!!
