The gluten free chips were stale and had no salt. The taco salad was lettuce with Italian seasoning and ground beef. Very disappointing. I won’t be returning.

If you are looking for a safe meal, choose a salad without tortilla strips with chicken (beef is not gf). Overall a fine restaurant but with very limited gf options.

I wanted to try this place out as I had read a few good reviews. This was a bad idea and ended up leaving after my boyfriend finished his cocktail and paid. The menu states they have a separate gluten free menu. When I asked our server she advised that the manager would come out and go over it as they didn’t have one. After about five minutes our sever came out and had a very lose description of what was safe, but said the red sauce was safe. After her lack of confidence I asked for the manager so I could understand better. Turns out the red sauce has gluten and only the cheese sauce is safe for enchiladas per the manager. I asked if the chips were safe and they advised no, but they had gluten free chips. I don’t advise getting the chips they were about as stale as a wheat thin and tasted about 4 years old. All in all this was a poor experience and waste of time. It might be great if your allowed to eat gluten, but celiacs stay clear.

I got the baked chips, which were just ok. The guacamole was good and I got sides of rice and beans. the service was excellent and our waiter was extra cautious with my food.

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.
