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

Pretty much the fajitas is the best bet. Didn't get sick and they were understanding. Drinks are amazing.

Place itself was very dirty and the gluten free food is not celiac friendly.

I really like the gluten free menu that is separate from the traditional menu.

Love the food here. Separate menus with lists of "safe" options for specific food allergies. Management will come speak to you if you have questions/concerns about the food.

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!

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.
