Great place! The staff was very knowledgeable about gf and asked if anyone has celiacs (which I do). I did not get sick! They no longer have GF chips bc they got rid of their dedicated fryer, but the tacos and margaritas are soooo worth the stop!

This is a chain restaurant from Colorado. They own the pizza place next door. Their food is primarily made with previously frozen ingredients. Super heavy on the soy and salt.

We had a very nice lunch here summer of 2016. Our service was great. The waiter was careful to explain how cross-contamination might occur, and even went back and spoke with the chef about what procedures are in place to prevent it. I have looked at the other reviews and agree there is not a large selection available for GF. However, most of the tacos can be had and the tacos, rice and beans were delicious. I have not had a reaction and will go back. They were also very up front about the fact that the kitchen was backed up from an earlier wedding party, which is always appreciated when there might be a wait for your order.

Made a return visit in August, 2017. Still good street tacos and knowledgeable staff. Chips are not GF-not cooked in dedicated fryer.

Daughter has Celiac disease and they were very careful. Explained their menu and options, also informed the kitchen staff. Owner (I think) even stopped by and checked with kitchen staff for us. Good selection of unique tacos and cocktails. Family friendly with a fun arcade.

Yummy drinks. The tacos have some unique flavors but 2 out of the 3 tacos I ordered were really dry.

My guy and I split the 6 tacos option. They were so amazing and super flavorful. Be sure to get the items that have a star next to them, as those are the only gf options. Staff is super knowledgeable.

This Mexican restaurant has surprisingly few gf options. It seems more like a tex-mex place than Mexican. the table comes with flour tortillas to nibble on while chips and salsa are $6. Try it yourself and decide but I don't think we're coming back.

I didn’t get sick, but the food just ... wasn’t good. We had the salsa flight (chips aren’t made in house, so they were safe) and the salsas were all only ok. I had a salad and my boyfriend had tacos and neither of us were impressed.

Had the tacos a la carte and specifically said that I was Celiac. The waiter was very friendly and said that I could order corn tortillas. They were delicious. I can’t remember which ones I got but they were really tasty. I also ordered the Casa Noble margarita & it was to die for.

Didn't get sick and had great tacos. However, for a place called Margs, their margs were subpar. Would return for the tacos alone.
