They had a gluten free menu with about 8 items on it. The ahi tuna nachos were gluten free and delicious and I got the garbage plate without soy sauce and it was amazing! I Wish they used/offered gluten free soy sauce because the ahi tuna would’ve been better! Overall impressed and really enjoyed my experience!
Server brought over a little card that lists all the menu items that can be made gluten free. It does specify they can’t guarantee no cross-contact as it is a shared kitchen (but honestly, few places do). We ordered the nachos and the fish tacos without the tortillas. Both were good, the portions were huge, I had to take my fish taco rice plate home to eat for brunch the next day. So far it’s been 24 hours and I haven’t had any reactions, so I think it was a success.
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.

Got the blackened fish tacos - no tortilla. Delicious and gave me extra rice no charge. Server was very knowledgeable and lmk that the fryer is shared!!!
Seriously the blackened fish tacos are the way to go
I get their blackened fish tacos without tortillas and haven’t had any reaction.
Great Fish Tacos just have to get as takeout with no flour tortillas.
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.
they are not celiac friendly. they are uneducated on celiacs.
Fish tacos with flour tortilla listed GF on the menu tells you all you need to know about eating here.
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.
A lot of GF options and staff is knowledgeable. A lot of flavor! Will definitely go back!
Great food and service! Staff was very aware of gf needs and explained what was safe even though the menu had gluten free items marked.
