I had the cheese enchiladas and they were just fantastic. The gluten free chips... not so much. I don't believe the queso is gluten free, and the guacamole wasn't the best... so I'd just pass on the chips. But the enchiladas? Those were really dang good.

We have been coming to this restaurant for years because their food is delicious. Since the celiac diagnosis, we've been pleased to find out they also have a separate gluten free menu with a lot of options. The server was very thoughtful and accommodating. They have gluten free corn chips, but had run out the last time we went. My fish tacos also came out wrapped in foil so they wouldn't touch the grill. All in all, a great experience!

They have a good chicken tortilla soup and a couple of salads. Everything else is $20 or more. The chips are absolutely horrible. You can ask for gluten free chips but I wouldn't bother.

Good selection of food, dedicated menu, no GF beer though. Staff (even at the bar) was careful and understood.

GF chips taste like toasted cardboard and there could be more GF choices on the menu, otherwise the food is good. A bit pricy though, average entree price starts at $12 though the portions are pretty big!

Crispy chicken tacos were great, and I hear the beef ones are safe as well. Beware the soft tacos come with flour tortillas! I also asked about the enchiladas and they have flour in the sauce so avoid that!

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.
