I had a really good experience here. The waiter we had was extremely professional and a good server all around. He accommodated all diet restrictions without any judgment and was always cheerful. I was worried about getting sick still but I feel fine and I had our meal 3hrs ago. Also the meal with cheap!

I’m happy some people have good experience. However I decided not to eat here. The manger/owner brushed me off when I asked about gluten free options. Only one of waitresses spoke English enough to understand me. She came off very aggressive and treated me like a burden. Said everything was gluten free with corn tortillas. Including the chips which when I asked were actually not gluten free. When I told the waitstaff I appreciate the help but I didn’t feel comfortable eating here. I was met with attitude and eye rolling.

I love this place. It’s so yummy. But, out of the three times I’ve been to this location, I have been glutened once. I’m miserable tonight. I am a very sensitive celiac. At your own risk, for sure.

They have a gluten-free menu. The chips and salsa and bean dip are GF. I ordered the Enchilada Trio with the sauces were listed as GF and it was so good! I didn’t get sick after eating here.

I understand they are trying since they have changed most of their ingredients to be gluten-free. However, my husband, who has celiac, still got sick. Based on his symptoms, it had to be cross-contamination in the kitchen. Sadly, we won't go here again.

I love their enchiladas, refried beans, rice & fresh salsa. They recently changed the soy sauce they use in several recipes so that more of their food options are gluten free. Their hard shell tacos are also gluten free but my husband and kids always eat those before I get a chance. My daughter also has celiacs and prefers the tacos. Love the food and variety here.
