We didn’t eat here. When we asked about gf options the waiter showed us the vegetarian menu. We then explained we needed gf (think we showed him our Spanish gf card) and he just looked like he couldn’t accommodate us. There likely are options but wait staff that day wasn’t helpful.

I shared my gluten-free card with the waiter. He shared the card with the chef, Martin, who came to our table and talked with us about safe options. The fajitas were amazing!

Have been here many times as a celiac gluten free person. never got sick... waiter was aware of GF and talked with chef. Was not concerned about cross contact at all. Most of the items were GF already. Great service...Drinks are really good. can't wait to be back in Cozumel so I can return.

I’ve eaten here twice and have not been sick. I’m celiac and sensitive. The food is not amazing and a tiny bit expensive but it is good. I would recommend if you’re looking for a safe bet

The waiter was aware of what options were gluten free and was very willing to make any requests to the chef that we needed (using corn tortillas and cooking them on a safe surface). I got steak fajitas and subbed out the refried beans (contains gluten) for extra guacamole to put on top of my fajitas. Note: the chips are made in a shared fryer so are not celiac safe)

I wish there was options for gluten free desserts, other than ice cream.
