Mexicali Cantina Grill

I asked the waiter and he pointed to what seemed like a random option which was chicken tacos and I was told that was what was gluten free. I would not return. I felt the effects of eating there later that night, guessing their chips are in a fryer with other gluten products as well

We were staying at the hotel next door, and didn't feel like getting back in the car to find a dinner spot. Mexican is usually a good option for gluten free so we took a chance on this place as it had some decent reviews on Yelp. This place is clean and inviting, however the service could have been better. I got the pulled pork tacos which where quite tasty. My daughter got the nachos with ground beef which were not so tasty, she said it was too salty. We didn't get sick, could eat the chips, and the salsa was good. Not the greatest, but still a good option if you're staying at the Holiday Inn next door and don't feel like going far for dinner.
