Nothing on the menu is naturally gluten free, all items required modifications to be gluten free. Chips are cross contaminated as many of the tacos had fried gluten toppings. Staff was straightforward about this and clear though. Felt I could have had a semi-safe meal here if needed, but chose not to eat here. Delicious gf marg though!

Had an absolutely amazing meal with family here! Vibe was lively and fun - couldn’t help but sing along to all the tunes. Wait staff was WONDERFUL!! Helped made recommendations based on taste preference and gluten-free options. One of the manager has celiac disease and they took extensive safety measures and modifications to ensure a safe and tasty meal

The server seemed to know what on the menu was gf and helped me order. There was lots of variety which was nice. They brought my tacos out seperately and someone said "gluten free" They tasted good and I thought all was well until a couple hours later when I was hit with stomach cramps and started vomiting. I assume this was an issue in the kitchen because the server seemed to be clear I had an allergy. Disappointing unfortunately.

Great spot for margaritas and tacos. Our server was very aware of celiac and cross-contamination protocols. She walked us through what I could order safely, and what could be modified.

Fryer is off limits so you can’t order the chips, but there are a lots of appetizers and tacos that are safe!

Pleasant experience here. They have a separate fryer for their nacho chips. The waiter was new so had an older one come over to the table and he explained to me what was GF and which ones can be made GF (ie removing crispy shallots). The tortillas are corn based so no fears there.
