This has been rebranded, it is now La Patrona, and they do not have a gluten free menu, or any demarcations for gluten free items. They said the tortillas were corn, but they are very white and soft. The beef looks marinated and coated in something...I'm pretty nervous about how I'll feel in a couple hours. 😬 If you're celiac I'd definitely call ahead and discuss. Food is good, but I'd give them a 2/10 on gf. Waiter was the most knowledgeable staff member.

I asked for a gluten free menu and was verbally given a few options: tacos, fajitas, enchiladas. I asked two different employees if the chips were cooked in their own oil, but they didn't speak enough English to be able to answer. Finally talked to someone who spoke English and she informed me that the regular cook was off and so no one could tell me if the Spanish rice was gluten free because today's cook did not know. I had the fajitas, but I've had better elsewhere. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

Stopped for lunch. Nobody had a clue what I meant by gluten free. They showed me the "low calorie" section. We didn't order and left.

The items are marked gluten free but the waitress wasn't sure if the fajitas were gluten free if ordered with corn tortillas. She told me the ingredients in the sauces and it sounded gf so I ordered it and didn't get sick. Just use caution.

I went to the Olympia location. They have changed their menu to accommodate gf intolerance & are very knowledgeable. Great service.
