Let me start off by saying that the food and atmosphere are good! However, celiacs beware. we originally picked this restaurant because lot of menu items are labeled as "gluten sensitive" with a little icon next to them, when I tried to order one of these items, I was told that I couldn't have it due to cross contamination which was pretty confusing - is the item gluten free or not? I ended up ordering something safe for me to eat without the icon next to it, which again was really confusing. Please consider having a separate menu (especially online if possible) or just not labeling things as "gluten sensitive" if they're actually not safe to eat and things that are not labeled "gluten sensitive" are safe to eat! service was pretty good as she was very knowledgeable about what was and was not OK for someone with an allergy. I left feeling a little disappointed due to the confusion of the whole experience, but I would probably give it another chance because the tacos and margarita were both excellent!

The server was knowledgeable and I was able to get a good meal. Unfortunately their chips are not GF. The menu has many “Gluten Sensitive” options, but beware, they are not gluten free.
