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.

Gluten Free menu. Server was not afraid to go ask manager when she was unsure of our GF questions. She wanted to make sure everything was done right for us. We ordered the queso. Then, the steak fajitas w/o the onions. Fajitas were served with a substitution of cilantro lime rice and black beans which were fabulous!!!

My first choice for Mexican. I love the grilled fish tacos, and the veggie fajitas are delish. The queso is GF just ask for corn tortillas!

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.

Even when told about allergies and given a card with allergies listed, I still receive a plate with the allergen ingredients on it.

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!

Although I thought it was my best bet, I got really sick from the steak fajitas unfortunately. I have a feeling it’s due to cross-contamination & the amount of oil used possibly
