I was unfortunately not impressed by the service! They have an ordering system that is all online and there is no area within it to specify an allergy. I asked our server what to do about this and he explained what was safe to eat and said he would communicate Celiac to the kitchen. however, we did not see him often and our food came out from food runners who had no idea what was/wasn’t gf. i ordered the carnitas tacos at one point (that my waiter said was safe for me) and noticed something crumbled on top that looked like bread crumbs. asked the food runner if it was gluten free and he was hesitant to say yes. i waited until i saw a manager walk by and asked him and he apologized saying that no, it was pork rinds that are not fried in a gf fryer. he fixed the issue but i was no longer confident in the staff after that.

i will say, the barbacoa tacos were safe and tasted amazing! i loved the atmosphere and the margs. definitely recommend going for drinks with friends but talk to a manager if u are ordering food!!!!!

The menu is not marked, but everything except two items (beer-battered shrimp taco and flan) is gluten-free! Staff informed me that the shrimp is fried in its own fryer so chips and other fried items are safe for celiacs. Good drinks and fun DJ, great brunch vibes!
