I was sick for 5 days after eating their chips and fajitas. The service was very good even with it being Mother's day. We were at the Burleson location.

I have Celiac and always enjoyed eating here but they no longer have a GF menu. We went at noon on a Saturday, I asked to speak to the manager since there was no GF menu but he wasn’t there. Our server had NO clue as to what was GF or not. He said they could make anything GF which is obviously not true. :(

We did carry out and the manager took our order. Our son has celiac and they were very knowledgeable and accommodating. He wento to the kitchen and made sure that everything was safe for our son.Super good experience! If it wasn't that it was so busy at the time, they would have made the flautas my son wanted in a separate pan. We decided to go safe being the kitchen so crazy. Their chips, salsa and fajitas were delicious!

I have celiacs and we go here frequently. I have never been sick after eating here. Their gluten free menu has detailed notes on it so you can make sure your dish is gluten free. Just ask for their gf menu. Great chips and salsa and great margaritas too!

Out here for a conference and needed a fun place to grab a bite to eat and between the reviews and their menu, this one looked like a winner and it absolutely was. It’s clearly a place locals love and our waitress was knowledgeable on what could be made gluten free and what could not. Marked it as such on my order so the kitchen team knew to take extra precautions too. Definitely would recommend popping by. I had the Vallarta Del Mar and it was super tasty!

First time I ate here and ordered gf, it was good. No reaction. Second time- had a reaction. I imagine it was cc or maybe something got in the friers. Or maybe the queso? I don’t know. I ordered off the gf menu and ordered the same thing both times but only reacted one time. Third and fourth time here- no reaction.

We have been dining Gluten Free with celiac disease at Rio Mambo in south Fort Worth almost weekly since 2010. They have always been very careful and accommodating. Of course, some servers are more knowledgeable than others, but most servers do know how to take your order and mark it "gluten free" for the kitchen. They are updating their menu, so hard to get a hold of one of their marked up gluten free menus at this time, so ask for a manager. It has easily been the most reliably safe place for our family of 3 celiacs (1 who is very sensitive) to eat and not get sick for over a decade. Their regular table corn chips and the large rectangular ones served with some appetizers are all corn and are safe.
