Manager came out to confirm the controls in place which made me feel comfortable. Have gf chips (baked) as well. GF Menu was a bit limited. Possible chance of CC but overall a good experience.

GF menu was available and my meal came out with a pick noting that it was GlutenFree. My meal was very good, no complaints about the quality. I had no reactions. The floor manager came over to speak with us once I identify myself as having a food allergy when ordering. The regular corn tortilla chips are not OK because of the oil they use to fry them. You have to have baked corn chips which are essentially tasteless and a little bit gummy. Other than the chips, everything was good for me here.

Couldn’t seat us when we got there for our reservations. Once seated the waiter was almost non existent. Took forever to get his attention to order. Then forever to get the food. I have celiac & was given corn tortillas wrapped in a flour covered cloth napkin. I asked for different tortillas but was still very sick after eating here. Will NOT be returning. Food was ok tasting, nothing spectacular.

Not a great selection, especially for a Tex-Mex restaurant there are usually many options. Ordered a salad and didn’t get sick, but I’m not rushing to go back anytime soon.

Baked chips and fajitas always safe. The manager will come speak and confirm gluten free orders.

Love this place! They have fajitas, tacos, salads, seafood, etc. Ask for the gf menu at the front and get the baked chips.

The baked tortilla chips were a miss but the salmon salad I had was fantastic. Their gf menu had a decent selection too - I didn't have to get a salad. I will definitely return.

Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone with celiac. I'm sitting in the restaurant right now. Took my family out to dinner as I'm visiting from Nashville. Their carne asada & chicken is marinated in soy sauce and contaminates the entire grill. Also, they make flour tortillas inside the kitchen so wheat flour is airborne inside their entire kitchen. I opted not to chance getting sick so I did not order anything. My family's meals look and smell great though. It's very frustrating that restaurants are capitalizing by the "gluten free fad". Just because they have a gluten free menu does not mean it's gluten free. Wheat flour in the kitchen? Soy sauce on the grill? No thanks-not worth being on my back for over a week. Go at your own risk. Cheers.

So impressed by our waiter. He was aware of protocol for celiac disease. The food was spectacular and most importantly, I did not get sick. I ordered brisket enchiladas. Yum!

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.
