I asked if they could just put their Mahi fish taco plate in a bowl (without the flour tortillas) and was told that wasn’t possible (why?). So, I ordered the fish taco salad instead but the server couldn’t tell me if the salad dressing was gluten free. Very disappointing.

Their “gluten free” menu includes items that are fried in a shared fryer, including their corn tortilla chips for nachos. Staff was completely clueless about this. Thumbs down.

Restaurant has a separate menu that is disappointing at best. Due to lack of concern and understanding, cross contamination seemed likely.

Go for the blackened fish tacos (without the flour tortilla)! They are amazing!

(Side note- There is not a dedicated fryer and their French fries are coated with flour.)

got really really sick after eating here. I had the tuna nachos and was vomiting profusely the rest of the day. Apparently they can't avoid cross contamination. Thanks mama kwans!

Although the menu had "gluten free" options, they had shared cooking areas and a shared fryer. The waitress told me the fish was cooked in a separate pan so I opted for a salad with blackened mahi mahi. Needless to say, I left there sick. The waitress apologized saying it was difficult for them to maintain no cross contamination when "it is so busy" and recommended another restaurant in the area that I would have better luck at. If you truly have a gluten allergy, I would not recommend this place!

Staff was accommodating and detailed what I could and could eat. Menu has gluten free options noted. I ate a good burger w/o bun with a side of jasmine rice. I would definitely visit again.
