Tasty with lots of sizes of tortillas and knowledgeable staff. Delicious! I got the smothered shredded beef burrito. Red enchilada sauce may not be gluten free because they used a different sauce for my food.

I have Crohns and am very sensitive to gluten and dairy. The server was really nice and went out of her way to check ingredients in items I was interested in. I had the taco salad with GF tortilla base but I’m guessing now (18 hours later) that they weren’t GF. I am in misery. Probably won’t eat here again just because it appeared the server did what she could but definitely something behind the scenes went wrong.

📣A quick shout out:

We had a wonderful evening at Gecko's tonight. Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable about GF. Her name is Ruth and she is the owner.

Her sister has celiac. So they know the process of what we need! Most anything on the menu can be made GF including chimichangas & Chili Rellanos!😀 I like to upgrade my meal and get two chimis for a few dollars more and take one home for another meal.

Tonight I tired their Fajitas. Oh my my so much flavor! I upgraded corn tortillas to the gf flour tortillas which are delicious 😋

You all should go check them out! Don't forget to tell them uou are GF!

They have been really good at keeping the good clean every time I have eaten here. I have been 5 or so times now and it is good to find places that actually have knowledge and work hard to keep it clean. My food is always out separate from the rest to show it was made clean. Each server has known what I can and can’t have.

This place is awesome. The chips and gluten free items have their own fryer. Everything but the tamales have a GF option. The staff was very knowledge and was aware of options. The food is pretty good too. I have eaten here several times and not gotten sick.

I am very sensitive to cross contamination, and I’ve never had an issue here. Chips are gluten free and not fried on site. And they have an option for corn (gf) or a different gluten free tortilla.

Red enchilada sauce, and anything fried is not gluten free. I always get the carne asada tacos, and never regret it!

We have gone here so many times as a family. Most of the staff is very knowledgeable. I’ve only walked away sick 2 times in over a year, but I think it was from over eating, or deep fried food. One employee said they had a dedicated frier, but I won’t get anything in it again. Their sweet pork and salsa verde is my go to for my enchilada.

First I think it's important to know that they have a dedicated GF fryer and so the chips and salsa offered as you are seated are GF. That's often a stickler...the place can do GF food, but not the chips. Many items are available GF. Tell the server, who are knowledgeable regarding what can and can't be made GF. I have the Chili Verdi Cheese Fries, which were pretty good. If you do it as a shared appetizer, I'd recommend the large serving. I did find the food a bit lacking in seasoning (I'm not really in to really spicy food that burns the tongue and ruins the taste buds) so you may need to add salt. My wife and I went there on a Friday night and got there at about 4:45. By 5:30 the place was packed and folks were waiting. Many of the customers would be called "seniors" which may explain the food needing more salt. I definitely recommend this restaurant as a great place for a good meal.

I would definitely eat here again. The staff was knowledgeable regarding gluten free items on the menu. They even have their own dedicated frying oil for GF food!! I had the taco salad and they prepared a corn tortilla bowl for me in their GF frying oil. And best of all, I didn’t get sick!

Great service but tastes like sadness. It's like going to eat Mexican at your gringo grandparent's house who suffer from ulcers and are on salt-restricted diets. My toddler was starving and every time he took a bite he said "gross" and he loves non-spicy Mexican food. I wanted to love it. They were so helpful and accommodating to gluten free. It was just that bad.

They can do nearly everything on the menu gluten free, except for the red enchilada sauce. They have gluten free flour tortillas, and a dedicated fryer. And the food has been really great every time we go. They write down the gluten free meals with a red pen so it won't be missed. I'm so happy we found them!
