Gluten free menu has a great selection - all meats are free of marinade. Staff is very knowledgeable about needs and explaining options. Highly recommend if you’re staying around the Surfside area.
Amazing food and fun atmosphere. This place is huge! Good GF selection and they actually have a menu.

Clearly marked menu. Server was very knowledgeable. She basically spit out every App, Meal, and side that were GF on arrival. Understood CC because she informed me the corn tortillas would have to be warmed in the microwave and not in the tortilla press. Food was delicious and my Celiac kiddo is gas and pain free after eating ❤
This was a family friendly Mexican restaurant with generous portions and free soft serve ice cream. A fan favorite of our hotel staff. We got there at 5 on a Thursday and it was already really busy- by the time we left the whole parking lot was full! I had chicken fajitas on a plate that came with 2 big bacon-wrapped shrimp. Server said the tortilla chips and beans were safe, but not the rice. She offered grilled squash to replace the rice. No ill effects the next day!
Great experience at El Toro's in Baytown. Beef enchiladas with ranchero (would have loved gf queso, but DF too), refried beans, rice, chips & hot sauce. Manager came to the table to help ... menu does show GF & Vegan on menu. Great waitress & I forgot her name. Very conscious of health concerns & she was in kitchen relaying my requests. Great experience. Very good food. It is a tish pricey, but eat enough chips & hot sauce & you can take home half of meal & they'll give you more chips & hot sauce. All & all would recommend.
Manager and kitchen knowledgeable about contamination Rice is marked GF but they came back saying it is contaminated.
This restaurant is NOT Celiac safe. I went for a girls lunch with my cousin and our daughters, I have Celiac disease and from the start let our server know. She was completely clueless about celiac so I asked lots of questions and tried to help her understand. Well after ordering from the gluten free menu, I couldn’t even make it home (30 minute drive) without having to stop twice and now I’m at home throwing up. This food has made me terribly, terribly sick. Do not go here.
