I ate a rice bowl with beans, veggies, queso, and guacamole. I ate it with my own tortilla chips that I brought with me. It turned out well. I enjoyed it.

I went here during state softball with my team and was nervous to eat here but the manager or one of the employees was super helpful and took control. I got a bowl with rice, chicken, queso, guac, and salsa. But you do have to tell that that you have Celiac/GF and ask them to change their gloves and get fresh ingredients. If you tell them this, they should get spoons and can scoop the meat from the bottom of the pile to avoid recently touched meat. Then, they got the backup queso and fresh guac and salsa. It is a little more work and requests to eat here but it was delish and I didn’t notice any reaction.

I had a terrible reaction here. i got a chicken bowl (with extra chicken), rice, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. it said online that the chicken was Gf, but i also saw other reviews saying that the chicken is not. It must be the seasoning or marinated in something but i would not recommend to anyone avoiding gluten!
