Ordered delivery and the order was wrong, what they sent was not what we ordered. Called to get it fixed and they said there's nothing they can do about it because they're closed. Now it's too late to order anything else that would be celiac safe. Ruined my night!

Fantastic experience! A bit pricey, but will eat here again.

Our waiter knew about GF options, but was not aware about their fryer. He graciously got the manager to answer my questions. Manager was aware of cross contam.

Menu is almost entirely gluten free--including all their sauces. It is clearly marked with a wheat symbol for items that contain wheat. (They're mostly burritos.)

BEWARE 1: there is NO dedicated fryer for chips, but flautas are fried in a different (separate) fryer. Manager verified. She did not explicitly state no glutenous items were fried in this separate fryer, but she definitely stated glutenous items are fried in the chip fryer. I bet it has to do with the size of the fryer (chips fried often; flautas not often, but maybe they're keeping fried meats separate--pure speculation).

BEWARE 2: Photo attached. I am going to leave feedback with the store, but after the manager left, we noticed that the "Brunch" area of the menu had no wheat symbols, but "flour tortillas" and pancakes were clearly listed.

Tried this place for the first time this past weekend. Our server was knowledgeable about gluten/allergies and confirmed for me that almost everything on the menu was safe, unless it was marked with a wheat symbol. Unfortunately, their chips are not gf though due to the use of a shared fryer. I was surprised by this, because they seem to be so gluten friendly. Overall, lots of options to choose from and I didn’t get sick from my meal. It was so nice to have cheese enchiladas again! Will definitely be back the next time I have a Tex Mex craving.

First, I am celiac and did not get sick. The manager, Barbara, met us at the hostess station to explain gf options to us. She also spoke with our waitress and the kitchen staff regarding our needs.

The fajitas ARE gf but the chips are NOT. I had the fish tacos (from the New section of the menu). They were amazing! The soft corn tortillas were so good that I had to be assured they were gf. The cheesy rice was really good too. They brought bean dip (which was gf) with the complimentary salsa and chips. Since I couldn’t have it with the chips, I ate it with my tacos.

The fresh brewed ice tea was great too!

Barbara checked on us a couple times to make sure everything was good. I promised her this good review if I didn’t get sick 😊

I asked for corn tortillas instead of chips. Tested the tortillas with my Nima sensor and found gluten. They were thicker than the tortillas they use in their enchiladas. Chips tested safe. Green chicken enchiladas, rice and beans also safe. On my next trip I had carne asada with green beans. Very good.

The service was great. Server answered my questions re: gluten and was honest when he didn't know. My husband ordered guacamole and the server brought me corn tortillas on his own so I could have some guacamole, too. He also adjusted my order to eliminate chips and brought us an extra order of corn tortillas to take home for my leftovers.

I had the tableside guac with corn tortillas and a tex-mex omelet with potatoes and refried beans. My only wish is that they had GF pancakes, but the omelet was really good and the guac was fantastic.

The cook explained that they throw everything in the same fryers and there is cross contamination for fried things everywhere, but he was nice and understanding about it. 🤷🏻‍♀ disappointing.
