This is a restaurant that I have been to at least once on each of my trips to Atlanta over the past several years, when I visited my mother. I've not had any issues from my meals eaten there on any of these occasions. Their GF menu does warn against cross contamination, but I've yet had any issues. The GF menu doesn't appear to be updated with the New items that appear on their menu and it is a bit difficult to understand what you are looking at (as far as category on the menu). There are some good options. I've had the Queso Chicken Grill with cilantro rice and vegies. I'd enjoy more of the Queso sauce on the chicken and I think the flavors might be enhanced with some lime wedges. My BID disappointment is that the chips are NOT GF, so while others get to enjoy munching on them as we wait for our meal, I have to sit there and pass up one of the things I've always enjoyed about having Mexican food before learning I had Celiac. That's one reason for just three stars...they make no effort to provide any chips that we GF'ers need, and they don't have, or didn't offer, any other sauces that might be added to the food to enhance flavors. I'm not a big fan of cilantro, but the serving portion of the cilantro rice was meager at best, regardless of it being on a GF plate or not. This isn't one of my first choices when I'm in Atlanta, but it has been a safe choice so far.
