They have a GF menu and all options are safe. Never been sick. Chips are GF. I always feel safe there even when waiters are clueless.
GF menu consists of a page in a binder listing which menu items can be GF. Choices seemed pretty limited. Chips are no longer fried separately so while there is an extensive list of GF dips, I'm not sure what you'd do with them. Waitstaff didn't seem particularly knowledgable about gluten, but then also didn't appear to care about much at all.
Yes
I asked the manager why the chips were not gluten-free. The manager told me because other locations cook the chips in the same fryers as the wheat fried foods. Corporate does not make the chips gluten-free on the menu because of that. But the Lawrence location has a dedicated fryer for the chips because the main manager there has a friend with celiac disease.... so she accommodates basically her friend. She said other locations DO NOT have dedicated fryers.
Yes
This place has gotten better.
Tried it. Won't be going back.
Service ok, but very limited options. Dips are listed gluten free but chips aren't.
I ate the chips with no reaction and they had many options on the gluten-free menu but I did see that they had a combo on the normal menu. I got the pick 2 flautas with double rice. The chicken tortilla soup is also good without the tortillas.

Had a really great experience here. They had a gluten free menu avaliable and assured me that everything would be prepared safely. Got the shrimp tacos and they were delicious.

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.

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).
