Went here and the menu has many items labeled as gluten free but these items are NOT actually gluten free. For example the nachos are labeled as GF but they are fried in the same fryer as wheat/gluten items. The waiter said they would not be able to serve me because the kitchen it too small and they were too busy. I didn’t even ask for anything special just what would have the least amount of cross contamination. I wasn’t able to eat anything safe there.

I’ve eaten here a lot and never been sick. Several GF options listed on their regular menu. The wait staff can’t seem to decide if the chips are fried in a dedicated fryer. I repeatedly get different answers, back and forth on their cross contamination. I eat them and haven’t gotten sick from them. In addition to the GF marked items, some stuff can be made GF. Tacos for example are not labeled GF because they come on flour tortillas but can be GF if you get corn tortillas.

Amazing food! Eaten here many, many times with no issue. Was told chips are in a dedicated fryer. Lots of gf sauce options. My favorite place!

Celiac friendly. The spicy Mexican shrimp in the habanero sauce with jalapeño polenta is amazing!!! Do not eat the chips. Not sure if they fry them there with other items in a shared fryer or what but I got sick from those. Other than that though, our visits have always been great. Also only the black beans are meat free.

Good food but ask questions. Waiter sad the tortilla chips are GF but cooked in fryer with breaded products—so not GF.

Looking online it looks like there are a lot of gf options which is great. But anything fried (even corn tortillas and chips) are not gf. So that limits the possibilities but it was still good. I got the matador bowl without tortilla strips and it was pretty good. Waitress knew what she was talking about.

The tortilla chips are NOT gluten free even though listed as gluten free. They are fried in a shared fryer. Food was just okay. Will not return. Service was horrible.

We have eaten here a dozen times with no adverse reactions. Happy hour cuts the food prices drastically. Recommend the Brussel sprouts and goat cheese jalapeños.
