I was so sick after eating here two weeks ago. Not going back.
Have eaten here many timed with our celiac son and never had any issues. Chips are dedicated fryer. Last time though my son had the kids cheese quesadilla. Within 2 hours he was so violently ill he had to be amulanced to Children's Hospital.
They don’t really have a gluten-free menu anymore so it’s hit or miss depending on your waiter.

Updating my review in 2021: menu has changed considerably, and I have no confidence in their ability to prepare safe food. Won’t go again.
Love Hacienda! Delicious chips and salsa (and skinny margaritas!), and they have a separate GF menu. My meal always comes out separately (usually carried by a manager), and I've never gotten sick after eating here.
Gluten friendly is not gluten free. I had to cancel my reservation and find a different place to eat.
Great atmosphere, great staff. Large portions. We had fajita for 2, steak and chicken combo. So yummy we should’ve gotten fajita for one and shared. They bring out chips and salsa while you wait for food. We wasn’t disappointed
They have a very extensive GF (friendly) menu. I’m INCREDIBLY sensitive and they did an amazing job! My waitress was great about communicating with the kitchen. I had enchiladas and they were SOOO good! Thank You Hacienda for giving my Mexican food options! They aLSO have a GLUTEN sensitive aka free fryer so the chips and salsa were a go and DELISH!
There is a menu on-line for every possible allergy with lists of what you can order. Bartender made the BEST gluten free margarita. I’m also allergic to oranges and have had such a hard time finding a margarita that I like. Will go back again and again!!!!!
I have eaten at Hacienda Colorado at this location three times and have never gotten sick. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to help. They have a separate prep area and the dishes are a different color. I was told the dishes are wrapped in saran wrap when removed from the dishwasher to avoid any airborne gluten. The manager brings gf meals to the table and has monitored the preparation of the meal. This review is for this location only.
Very celiac friendly. Gluten-free orders are delivered to your table by management.
I really like the chips and salsa. I also like their poblano pepper gluten free meal. I have eaten there many times and not gotten sick. I manager usually brings the gluten free meal out and I think the plates are a special shape which is likely helpful behind the scenes.
If you are celiac ask for a gf menu and inform your server of a gluten "allergy". They then inform the manager who observes food preparation and service to be sure it is gf and not cross contaminated. The fajitas and tacos are delicious. The gf enchiladas aren't worth trying.
I really like this place. Has lots of options and servers are very helpful. But I had a Shirley Temple and it kinda ruined my visit because after I drank it my stomach hurt. Don't order Shirley Temples!
GF menu with lots of choices, knowledgable staff. Food was delicious and I didn't get sick.
This is my favorite go-to restaurant for gf! I've eaten off of their gf menu several times, and never gotten sick. It is delicious! Try their beef enchiladas with ranchero sauce and gf refried beans for a great dinner.

No more GF menu, and way less options than they used to have. Nothing is marked on the menu. The waitress said no red meat of any kind....wipes out most of the menu. Also no red chili or queso. They also used to have really great lettuce cup fajitas and those are gone. So disappointed and would not recommend for celiac since nothing is marked on the menu.
Great food, large portions. The only drawback is that anything beef (including the steak) is not gluten free.
Staff was super helpful and knowledgeable. The make their flour tortillas in house, so they stress the possibility of cross contamination in the kitchen, they will however do their best to prevent. Food tastes amazing and everything was fresh!
There is no dedicated gluten free menu. However, the waiter did tell me, which items were available to be gluten free, meaning prepared separately. The food was delicious. I am from New Mexico and am a harsh critic of Spanish food!! I have atypical celiacs (neuro symptoms) and do not get the symptoms from contamination right away, so I cannot comment on that. Would go back again!!!!
Talked with the manager, they do have celiac options and a seperate fryer for chips.
