Great options on a dedicated gluten free menu. Staff needs to be more knowledgeable as I've had issues with my meal each time.

HORRIBLE!!! Host was clueless & gave us a Brail menu, manager doesn't have any idea what GF is! Actually told us we'd be better off going elsewhere! The GF menu is provided by "cooperate" and is wrong! Very contradictory, manager just made excuses about why he couldn't help us. Plain awful!!! Don't go here!

Love their menu but I was shocked their chips are not GF like the OTB chips in the store are.

This used to be a restaurant frequently visited. No more. They’ve changed something with their chips, and I’ve gotten sick the last two visits. Also, their food and service has gone downhill. If you’re looking for a Tex-Mex in this area, try Rio Grande. Almost everything can be made GF. And I’ve never gotten sick.

OTB has an online gf only menu with quite a few options, but you can’t have the chips. Still a good, reliable chain that didn’t cause my very sensitive celiac spouse to get sick (marg and steak bowl).

If you are sensitive you might consider not eating here but I could tell they tried and have decent options if not sensitive.

I haven’t been to OTB for a while until today. their gluten friendly menu is not like it used to be. I used to be able to get at least street tacos which were good… but there were some options. Most Mexican restaurants you can get enchiladas but there are no enchilada options on the menu. And onions are sautéed in soy sauce so that’s a no go(didn’t care for the pickled onions). I was happy to have the queso .

Wasn’t impressed. They didn’t seem to be knowledgeable and I ended up having to research on my phone at the table to find out what was actually gluten free and what wasn’t. My son had the chicken fajitas with corn tortillas. He liked them and did not get sick but we probably won’t be back.
