I did not end up eating here because the person I spoke with when I called said that most of their meat is either cooked or reheated on the same flat top that is used to make their quesadillas and he had at some point seen people cook gluten in their dedicated gf fryers. He said they could definitely accommodate if I let them know it was severe, but it didn’t seem like a place I would trust not to contaminate.
My two kiddos are celiac and very sensitive but we had no reactions here. The waitress and manager reassured us the chips are actually in a dedicated fryer away from the cooking line. We had a gluten free menu but our waitress did reiterate multiple times there is risk of cross contamination but they take it serious in the kitchen and try their best to avoid it. A different server brought out the meals prior to the other food to avoid any mix Ups and reduce cross contamination. We know this is always a possibility when we go out to eat, but we were thrilled with our meals and service. My gf kids had the adult rice bowl with steak and chicken tacos with black beans and rice.
Waitress wasn't knowledgeable about gluten free. I didn't eat the chips because it is the same fryer, definitely cross contaminated and got sick from it. I ordered the steak street tacos. The food was bad I got the dairy removed but the food didn't taste good and I got sick. They have separate online menu for gluten free but I wouldn't recommend this place at all for gluten free people.
I ordered chicken enchiladas (w sour cream sauce) omg it was sooooo good! Spoke w the manager before I ordered. They will warm corn tortillas up in microwave to avoid CC. Tortilla chips are in shared fryer so I didn’t get them. This meal was excellent and I didn’t get sick! Highly recommend!
Dalton, our server was very knowledgeable about gf. They now have dedicated friers for the chips!! My daughter was able to have a great gf meal there! He said they were willing and able to work around what she wanted to eat, and if possible they would make it gf! Wish there was one of these near our home in NC!
It didn't start great but we left very satisfied with our meal.
First, their chips are made in a shared fryer, so no chips if you are celiac/intolerant. That's a bummer.
We were given gluten free menus but unfortunately the GF menu was out of date which we only determined after struggling for a while. Our server got the kitchen manager who explained our choices as well as how we could make some modifications which would better suit our young son's preferences.
The food was excellent. Would have given 5 stars if the menu was current and safe chip option.
Chips are cooked in shared friers with catering foods. They do have a GF menu. You can't have the onions due to soy sauce. The service was nice but slow-they have cut out bussers. The fajitas didn't much flavor. My husband had a different piece of meat and he said his had more flavor. Personally, with the taste of food and not being able to eat the chips, I will not be back by choice. Not many Mexican options in the midcities.
Gluten intolerance, I found this place was super knowledgeable. I asked about gluten free, and the waitress asked if it was an allergy or just a preference so she would know if the kitchen staff would need to clean their space and change their gloves.
I ate the chips and salsa, and had the fajita salad with chicken and steak! It was great and I’m feeling great!
Highly recommend!
I’ve eaten here in the past and been fine, but recently had the chicken fajitas exactly as they say to order for gf and had a horrible gluten reaction. To be fair, I ordered online and did not list my allergy, but I usually don’t react badly to cross contamination. Their gf menu is old and I’m wondering if they updated a recipe for something.
