Great Mexican restaurant, waiters attentive and competent on cross contamination, and food was delicious!
Always great, a modern take (with authenticity) on Mexican and they take allergies very seriously. The tuna tartare, grilled octopus, squash blossom quesadillas, heirloom tomato salad and many of the tacos are favorites.

Solid experience, and have catered to my celiac son many times over. No symptoms.
Went here for anniversary based on the solid reviews. Can happily say I did not get sick! The menu is not marked but the waiter was super knowledgeable about what was safe, what would potentially be cross-contamination, and he wasn't afraid to check with the kitchen either. Most of the menu was safe for me. The food was delicious -- we got the sweet pea guac (with fresh blue corn tortillas instead of fried chips, total davorite), tuna tartare (ok but my least fave), and 3 of the tacos (fish, shrimp, pork). Too full for dessert but they have a Mexican chocolate pudding that sounded good, GF and vegan I believe. Drinks were good and the vibe was cool. Will definitely return for a special occasion ($).
Incredible meal and very well taken care of by the restaurant staff. Most things on the menu can be made GF and the waiter was very knowledgeable about which items were ok and which were a cross contact issue. Food and drinks were fabulous. We will definitely be back.
Knowledgeable waiter who checked with even more knowledgeable staff to see if what I wanted to order had cross contact with gluten before I even asked. That being said, the brunch options were then limited, but I truly appreciate the awareness!
This is a newer restaurant in Greenwich that recently opened for lunch and also serves dinner. Had a nice business lunch there and they are very celiac / GF knowledgeable. Felt in safe hands. Food is excellent and have now been 2x and their care for Celiac safety is good.
