This was an okay place to eat. Of course the main thing is to not get sick. It was fairly okay food but the good thing was she knew exactly what we could get and what would be cross contaminated.

Cashier was very helpful. Even the corn tortillas are cross contaminated (crispy ones are fried in a shared fryer, soft ones are warmed in the same warmer as the flour tortillas.) Safest bet was a burrito in a bowl. I had the Del Rio, it was very good, had a little kick to it though!

Really sweet people and AMAZING food. Like maybe it is because we're stuck in an airport... but it is actually pretty good!

They had a separate GF menu and chips that were baked. Server bought me my own salsa for my basket of chips. I had the chicken fajitas off the GF menu. Food was good.

Good food. I had the Fajita Platter with chicken and corn tortillas. I asked the manager if they had GF options, and she said, “You can get the #1 or #2 with chicken, or the #3 with beef or chicken.” She told the cook to change her gloves and not contaminate my food. I was very hungry, so the fajitas really hit the spot. The restaurant is definitely not dedicated GF and there are no GF designations on the menu, but I am confident that I will not feel glutened tomorrow.

Great service. We got the tacos they don't have hard shell but do have soft corn tacos. Food was a little spicy, but very good. Would eat there again.

Nicholas the manager saves the day! He was so knowledgeable and patiently walked us through everything we could eat. Then he went to the kitchen and cooked our meals himself! Great experience!

Layover in Houston caused me to stop here, and it was fantastic! Cashier was super knowledgeable and provided me with info about cross contamination without me asking. She told manager and got cook staff to change gloves. Food was great.

Staff very friendly and helpful

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food! First person didn’t know what GF was but the rest of the staff seemed informed! Food was delicious!! So far so good

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a GF menu! GF Chips are baked, so they’re pretty dry. Next time I’ll just take my own chips to eat my guacamole with.

Great experience. Knowledgeable cashier shared the GF options. So far so good!

Last week I traveled thru Houston and ate here. It was great. The staff I talked to was very knowledgeable and concerned for people with gluten issues. During both visits the staff told me exactly what I could order and not get sick. They were correct. I had chicken taco with corn tortilla with beans and rice. Tasted good. No issues afterward.

I will return as a customer and recommend to a friend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love this place they always make the best gluten free chicken tacos! The rice and beans are so tasty! The breakfast burrito bowl is amazing as well!! Been eating here for years and never been ill and the staff is so kind!

Celiac friendly. Very knowledgeable about options and care. Absolutely delicious.

Pretty good with gluten free. Not great but better than most stuff in an airport

Celiac friendly?

Yes

4 stars only because there is just one selection. The food was great. The only option is the soft taco platter with corn tortillas, shredded chicken or ground beef. Served with rice and beans.

I had the shredded chicken. It was delicious and causes no reaction. The cashier was actually very knowledgeable. She seemed very young, so I was impressed that she knew about the risks of cross contamination and hidden ingredients.

It's hard to find truely gluten free food at the airport, but this little counter service restaurant in Terminal E at IAH is wonderful.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Only one glutenfree Menu - and that was out.

Celiac friendly?

No

Order at the counter place. Person at counter was really knowledgable (no fajitas since have soy sauce). Shredded chicken tacos were good.

In terminal E at IAH airport. Staff is knowledgable about GF and food is prepared in a separate space. Only one GF option though- soft taco platter (served with corn tortillas); beef and chicken are both GF as are the rice and beans.

There were no apparent measures taken. I ordered the Tequila Lime Salad w/o the chip strips. The service was awesome!

There was a separate gluten free menu. Our waitress addressed my questions and concerns. My food came out on a special plate with a sign indicating that it was gluten free. It was good and I did not feel ill afterwards and I am pretty sensitive.

We had the best experience here. They have a gluten free menu. When our waitress took our order and noticed my menu she said she would notify her manager. They were super careful my plate was even marked. I felt completely safe and actually normal. I was recently diagnosed so this was a huge deal!

Pleasantly surprised. They have a separate gluten free menu with a few apps, 5-6 entrees, and ice cream for dessert. They also made me gluten free chips and salsa, not made in same fryer. For my dinner I got cheese enchiladas which were delicious. The meals my family got ( not restricted) looked amazing. We had great server and the manager assured the kitchen would be attentive to avoid cross contamination. Also, the atmosphere is very cheerful and inviting. Had no reaction after eating there.
