Successful dinner experience and helpful waitress. I had the fajita chicken nachos. No dedicated fryer, but they explained the chips are prepared first thing in the morning. Those are gluten free. If they have to cook more later at night, they will be in a shared fryer.

Thanks to a recommendation on this app, I safely ate Al pastor tacos with beans and rice. The chips were shared fryer so I didn’t chance it with those. #celiac

They are the only Mexican restaurant on the river that says they have a gf menu. Right I. The top of this menu it says that their homemade corn tortillas are cooked in same surface as the flour tortillas. Most gf options are e with corn tortillas. We opted not to eat there n trust the previous posts.

Not knowledgeable of GF at all. The response was like “huh”. Don’t eat here. Awful food. Nothing seemed fresh. My beans where canned. My beef tacos where awful. I could have had Taco Bell’s taco and they would have been better.

Gluten free menu is wrong, meat and chicken for enchiladas are thickened with wheat flour. Chips are fried in shared fryer. Ordered the enchilada trio because the menu showed it as GF, told waiter that I was celiac. He double checked with the manager after my food was already brought out to make sure everything was gf to find out that the menu is wrong. Replaced my meal with vegetarian quesadilla. Removed enchilada platter from check and still charged for the quesadilla. Left with a stomach ache anyways.

Based off the reviews, I decided to try this place out. Bad mistake! Even though the menu states what's is GF or not, I still got sick. It's not celiac friendly!!!! I'm now broke out all over and sick!

Lots of gf options. I'm also dairy free, so that definitely reduces my choices. Even so, the food was tasty.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent!! Lots of GF options. I told out waiter I had food allergies - gluten and dairy. I ordered the shrimp fajita street tacos. They're labeled gluten free but he still went to check with the kitchen to make sure they knew it was an allergy and to confirm they cook in oil, not butter. I also ordered a prickly pear margarita. He checked the ingredients in it before he put the order in.

I went here with my sister, who also has food allergies, and my 16 month old nephew who was hungry and loud. The staff was seriously great! They danced and played with my nephew till our food came.

Very happy with this place and will definitely be back!!

my wife got very sick eating here off the GF specified menu options. the manager said he was unaware that if it was fried in the same oil as wheat that there would be a problem and the waitress when asked specifically lies to us about it being fried in the same oil.
