Lots of “gluten free” marked items on the menu but not sure if I believe any of it. I got chips and dip and enchilada plate with rice and beans, all supposedly gluten free and checked by the chef and was immediately sick after and had celiac symptoms for the next 24hrs.

No GF menu, but everything is clearly marked. Our server told us that just about everything either was or could be made GF. Bob Armstrong dip and enchiladas were so good!

I'm in town in Dallas for a work trip and hope this w ould be a safe place to eat for someone with Celiac. My boss and I ordered online and he specified that it was for someone who needed food to be GF. Unfortunately it seems there was some cross contamination as I feel pretty sick now 3 hours after eating. Would not reccomend for my fellow celiacs.

They have dedicated fryers and seemed very confident, but I’ve been in the bathroom all day today after eating there. I’m extremely sensitive so if you are too I’d say be careful. I had the taquitos.

But if you do eat there and risk it for anything, have the queso! 😂best queso I’ve ever had

Great service. They went above and beyond for their gluten free preparations and we felt comfortable eating here. We loved their chili relano and their queso. Everything else was pretty good but I probably wouldn’t order again (enchilada, taco, tamale). Very large portions.

Great Tex-Mex in the Lower Greenville/Uptown Dallas area. The majority of the menu is marked gluten-free. The chips are corn and they’re in a separate fryer. I enjoyed pork tamales with retried beans & rice. I also loved the apple cider margarita!! Reasonably priced and delicious food.

During COVID-19, the staff is all in masks. Tables are spaced out inside and there is patio seating available too.

Dedicated fryer so the chips are safe! Almost everything is gluten free, and very very good. The Bob Armstrong dip was excellent, and the beef enchiladas were also good; they had a lot of quality meat and were not drowning in sauce. If I lived in Dallas, I’d definitely be going back!

We were actually able to eat fresh chips! I am a sensitive celiac and had absolutely no issues. Most of the menu is gluten free and our waitress was extremely knowledgeable. She warned me not to get the taquitos as they are cooked in a fryer that ocassionally has a sopapilla or two cooked in it. The chips are cooked in their own fryer so they are safe. I had the enchiladas and my mom are the regular dinner. Both were delicious and I highly recommend!

I eat here way too much. There’s TONS of options on the menu, including some chicken fried steaks. However, they don’t have gf gravy, so don’t order that one. The menu is CLEARLY marked which is awesome. Their soup and taquitos are amazing, as well as their enchiladas. I really wish their sour cream sauce was safe but their other sauces are pretty good. Fajitas are pretty good and you get a ton!

This is soooo good! The menu is marked with what is gluten free and most things are gluten free. They know, understand, and take proper precautions. This is amazing food too! Tacos are filled top to bottom with meat, it’s REAL shredded chicken you can actually see not just pulverized chicken slurry, the spices are spot on... This is the real deal!

Almost everything is GF!!! It was like christmas, tons of choices: enchiladas, fried chile rellano, fried catfish, shrimp, chicken fried steak, chips are fried in dedicated fryer. Manager explained extensive training of staff and procedures to avoid cross contamination. Faborite so far is chicken enchiladas with verde sauce.

This used to be one of my safe go to restaurants. We just went in and the manager said they have backed off their gluten free protocols and are not as careful about the gluten ingredients. She said she not risk eating here because of cross contamination.

In town for high school band competition, thought I’d give them a try. I am so glad I did. Menu is clearly marked for GF items and I even got to have a burrito!! Food was delicious. Waitress was very kind and wasn’t sure about a meal question I asked, she said let me go ask. I highly recommend!!! I don’t know about cc, I’d probably say there is. I am not Celiac, but super sensitive. No issue for me.

They used to be a safe place for GF and tasted good but the food wasn’t that great and they no longer are gluten free. We asked what was available that was GF and the waitress wasn’t helpful. She sort of shrugged her shoulders and said I’d probably be fine with a taco because meat doesn’t have gluten. (We all know ground beef isn’t always safe at a Mexican restaurant.)

Love this place, but do dad that they’ve done away with their gf menu! For years we’ve made sure to stop on every visit from Oklahoma just to have their chili relleno. They are no longer making it :(. You can still get one grilled, but not a gf breaded one— which was absolutely the best!
