I was excited to try this place due to the dedicated fryer for the tortilla chips. When asking about if the chips were still gluten free I got confirmation that they were still fried in a dedicated fryer. When asking about if other things were gluten free the waiter was not able to confidently confirm that other items were in a dedicated fryer. He did point to items marked gluten free. Food was not the best but I did not get sick.
What a lovely restaurant to visit. The waiter was knowledgeable on the options for GF. The menu was clearly marked with the GF options. Ordered the basic chicken fajita. Very tasty and great atmosphere to match.
I have eaten here at least 10 times. Chips aren’t gluten free but they have several items on the menu that are. Always good food and service.
The chips are now gluten free, they have a separate fryer!

Dedicated gluten free fryer! Need I say more?
Staff was kind of knowledgeable but didn't exude trust in their answers. Didn't know the seafood fajita had imitation crab, but so far so good (celiac). Had to ask for corn tortillas but at least the evil tortillas were wrapped in foil and didn't touch the food. Bomb margheritas.
Since our server didn’t understand my question about a shared fryer for the chips, I chose not to risk them. I oredered the sauteed garlic shrimp and onions with corn torillas and it was a very nice meal. The refried beans with cheese were delicious. The blackberry mezcal smash drink was a fun (and big!), too.
Food is excellent!! GF on menu. Never have gotten sick. Service on the weekend is terrible! Slow beyond belief. Like over 1.5 hours to get food!
