While there was not a separate gluten free menu, the GF options were clearly marked. Best of all, they gave me a basket of gluten free tortilla chips and salsa as they knew the regular chips were fried in contaminated oil. I had the 3 pork tacos from the specials menu. Excellent!

This has been our go-to for several years. Fantastic and authentic regional mexican food, and one of the best-written and most thorough gluten free menus I’ve seen, with tons of options. Be sure to mention you need gluten-free chips. They do not have a dedicated fryer but keep a separate stock of chips.

Seemed very confused on what's actually GF and not. Owner was not there, so at least they were good enough to let me know they were not confident without him. Left without eating, though they did not charge us for the drinks we had bought while waiting.

This USED to be a great restaurant. Tonight, I was very disappointed with my meal. Everything was under seasoned and dry. It came out so fast, that it was obviously reheated. GF menu or not, bad food is bad food. Sad to say I will not be back. Update: And then I got glutened.

First class service, affordable pricing! Was expecting just casual dining and service but was treated with five star service. They were 100% knowledgeable and accommodating to a gluten free/celiac customer! The atmosphere and service is second to none. It is a MUST go to place whether you are gluten-free or not.

Excellent! Very near airport - easy to get to. They seemed to understand GF and the menu highlighted what had to be substituted. I had the Cameron al Diablo which was spicy and very good. They said the chips were gf and I didn't react so all is good. I will be back again and recommend this restaurant.

Incredible service! Our server did not speak the very best English, yet knew very well "gluten free"! Original and unusual dishes. Best margaritas I've had in a long time!

Super delicious food, great service. When you ask for a gluten free menu, you get a regular menu that lets you know how to modify any dish (if it is possible to do so) to make it GF. Their special menu also lists which specials are gluten free.
