I ate here twice during my stay, the taco bowl was so-so (maybe because I had take out) but the hangar steak was AMAZING!!! I also enjoyed the elotes a lot. While my waitress wasn’t as knowledgeable up front, she had no problems speaking with the kitchen and making sure I felt safe. They do have a shared fryer, so you are not able to eat chips if you are Celiac, but besides that and the burrito everything else can be accommodated on their menu. The drinks are also really creative and delicious.

They were helpful to answer any questions about the menu. I ordered the mahi mahi tacos with corn tortillas and they were delicious. The chips are fried in the same fryer with other stuff so avoid those. Didn’t get sick.

This place!! Delicious food, very knowledgeable staff and nearly everything is gluten free. One single item contains gluten. So glad to have such a safe place as an option. Thank you for taking gluten free seriously!! UPDATE: they have added tortas which contain gluten. Other items, like desserts, can also now contain gluten.

Tips


As of September 2021, their menu no longer lists the "almost GF kitchen" notation. I would ask questions first before ordering.

Everything on the menu is gluten free except the avocado tacos and they can be changed to make them gluten free. The food is delicious!
