Avoid. At. All. Costs.
Got steak quesadilla and rice. Stated I had severe gluten allergy. Usual questions.
3 hours later and I have never been this sick before. Severe stomach cramps and severe intestinal distress.
Came on a Tuesday night, service wasn't that great...also food was pretty mid. Had high hopes based off all the good reviews. The chile con queso was probably the best thing we got, I got the chicken, steak, and barbacoa tacos. Couldn't even finish the barbacoa one because it was way too spicy. If you like spicy you might like it because the meat was good but the sauce was too much for me. Don't feel sick or anything but definitely won't be returning here.
Wonderful experience. The waiter was very knowledgeable & said that they can make accommodations to almost everything. I had a chicken & a steak taco on corn tortillas & didn’t get sick at all after!!

We’re able to cater to me a very sensitive celiac. I ordered fajitas they use gluten free soy for the marinade it was fantastic and they brought out the soy sauce for me to look at. Good service really appreciative.
My husband had cheese and onion enchiladas and I had chicken and lime cilantro taco's. Both were excellent. Anything on menu can be modified to be GF except burritos. Margaritas are very good too Service was knowledgeable and friendly.
Everything is gf except the flour tortillas. I had a fish taco and a relleno taco and they were both delicious. Staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend.
The menu doesn’t specify what items are GF. My server said they can make adjustments to almost anything on the menu. I had tacos that were delicious! Their homemade chips and quac were amazing too. I didn’t get sick.
Went last night and was so impressed with how seriously they took celiac prep. Everything was explained. They changed gloves. Manager checked with me frequently. I had the mahi mahi tacos... amazing! Great food, friendly and knowledgable staff. Highly recommend.
First place I’ve been able to have quesadillas at in years! Got the steak ones and they were delicious. The Cesar salad was also very fresh and yummy. Most of their food is or can be made gluten free.
Waitress informed us that everything was gluten free except the flour tortillas now so there is no longer a separate GF menu. We had a great meal!
Kitchen now uses rice flour for breading. Does still have flour tortillas. Relleno was out of this world.
Good for GF. Chips are fine and pretty much everything can be made GF, including quesadillas which I was excited about! But food itself is really meh/mediocre
Service was horrible. Walked in and asked if they had a gluten free menu. The hostess handed me a "600 calorie or less" menu and when I asked again she handed me the regular menu. Waiter came over a total of 2x, once to take our order and once to give us our check. Food was less than average. I won't be returning.
Best veggie fajitas ever! They (boulder & denver locations) have always been great dealing with all my food allergies and vegan diet. Best margaritas too!

Got glutened and had pretty awful service. Have eaten at their other location in down town Denver that was delicious but this place was awful.
Entire menu (minus flour tortillas and sopapilla) is GF I always get chile relleno no issues and supper crispy!
Good service, chips are GF, lots of GF or GFO items on menu
Always easy to eat here!! Almost all GF, minus flour tortillas or other obvious items.
I felt very safe here. Almost everything on the menu is gluten free or can be made gluten free. I have not had an enchilada in YEARS, and their gluten free enchilada was delicious and very filling. The portions are great for their price point. I am so full, and I almost wish I wasn’t because they actually have gluten free desert options that aren’t just a scoop of ice cream! Our waiter Ivan was very comfortably knowledgeable about gluten free restrictions. I asked about what the cook would use in place of a four tortilla for a gf burrito option, and he said they would simply just use two corn tortillas wrapped together - not very exciting. And I really appreciated that level of care from him 🙂 Also, my husband ordered the burrito (regular) and it’s definitely a wet burrito. He usually doesn’t like those, but he enjoyed this one! Big parking lot space, so no need to worry about street parking. They have corn hole too! And last but certainly not least, if you’re tired of not having a gf desert option when you go out to eat, I have 3 words for you… Salted Caramel Flan ♥
