Went there with a party of 5. First question I asked of the hostess was "do you have a gluten free menu". She said no. She went on to say they have nothing that is Gluten Free. I asked if she was sure and she assured me they had nothing. We left and went to Border Cantina which was nearby.

New to my celiac diagnosis but went here for lunch and got the fajitas.. brought my own tortillas. I thought they did a lovely job at making sure everything was gluten free and I feel fine after eating!

Ordered tacos off the gluten free menu that were supposed to be served on corn tortillas. They were served on flour tortillas. This used to be a safe restaurant for me but lately they are making more and more mistakes. I personally will no longer trust the restaurant.

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.
