The nachos were good. However the fish tacos were bland. It lacked seasoning. The chicken in my husband’s tacos was dry. Skinny margarita was too sweet and not served in a margarita glass.
This is my go-to for gluten free dining. I always get the nachos, they're delicious and I've never been contaminated. I've been here countless times and every other location in the valley too, never had a problem.
Gluten free menu with plenty of options Had the tacos on corn with rice and refried beans. Very tasty

Staff was not knowledgeable. No separate fryers. Sat in here with my boyfriend's family and I brought my own food in.
Chips are fried in the same oil as the flour items. Not gluten free.
They do have separate menu but when I asked the manager about the fryer being dedicated for chips he said if it’s in the menu than it’s gluten free. Not helpful.
My luck. Asked for stacked enchiladas, I got FLOUR TORTILLAS! 3 flour tortillas stacked under sauce, I had no idea until I took the sauce off. I told the waiter this looks like flour tortillas and he was so cocky he replied "no it's corn" without even looking at my plate. 1 hour later I ended up throwing up. I would sue them if I could. It's my life on the line. Look out for the waiter by the name of MITCH, or just stay clear of this restaurant honestly. They have screwed up my orders for years, surprised I'm not dead.
chips do not have a dedicated fryer. have gotten sick off several dishes.
Everything was great. Good selection of GF options! The taco were fabulous!! No complaints here. We had chips n salsa, spinach queso and tacos with rice and veggies.
We didn't get sick but it was incredibly disappointing. For the amount of food you get it was over priced and lacked flavor. I didn't give it 1 star because we were safe eating here but I wouldn't go back.
Great gf options! The staff was knowledgeable and easy to work with! We will eat here again :)
Great service and attentiveness on GF preparation. We had the fajitas and fish tacos with no reaction. The food was spicy, but that's a side note.
Decent sized GF menu, I'm not celiac but am very sensitive to gluten and have never gotten sick after eating here. The stacked enchiladas are great!

This place did have a separate GF menu with quite a few options. I ordered the Nachos Supreme which was house chips, shredded beef or chicken, mixed cheeses, sour cream, guacamole, refried beans, Pico de Gallo and jalapeños available upon request. The food was good.
This place is good. They have separate GF and vegetarian menus. They seemed willing to accommodate different needs. I got the vegetarian GF fajitas and they were good. The staff was also friendly.
I asked for the gf menu- they only had one copy and couldn't find it so they had me pull it up online. I ordered the Corn Crisps from the gf menu. I asked the waitress to please ask the cook if there was any cc with this dish. She came back and said "It is safe. It is only cheese, salsa and a fried flour tortilla ". I'm like "The corn crisps have a FLOUR tortilla?" She said "Yes". I said "But i just explained that I am allergic to gluten!?" She said "yes, so this will be safe for you. Normally we make it with corn but we ran out of ingredients so we can make it with regular tortillas." She was sweet but she was really confused.
At this point, I realized i couldn't trust their food so I didn't order anything and my family ate without me.
I had already eaten the chips that came first, as the waitress said they were corn. 1 hour later I was in a gas station restroom, very sick.
DO NOT EAT HERE
(I am a mildly sesitive Celiac)
Separate GF menu, although when I ordered the fajitas and told them it was for Celiac, they came out with flour tortillas instead of corn. They were very nice and redid the dish and comped that item, but I’m not sure how safe the place is (I’m asymptomatic).
Great food everytime we have gone.
