Me and my fiance who is celiac went to eat dinner there today. The guac was meh and I got a margarita that was way to strong. The waiter was nice in working with our gluten allergy and tried hair best. The carnitas were super tasty and a must try! Overall it's okay since it was close by our hotel but way over priced.

Reviewing while I’m still here. Lots of GF options: I really, really enjoyed the table-side guacamole! Service is good, but there are huuuuuuge gaps in between seeing my server.

Lots of GF options, clearly marked on menu. Staff knowledgeable; assured me that the tortilla chips are fried in a fryer dedicated only for tortilla chips. Both GF and non-GF people in my group were happy with their food! The pork with grilled pineapple was really good!

Not an entirely gf place but still safe! I’m giving this 4/5 stars only because when I asked about gf, the waiter told me only 2 items were not gf, which was not true. I asked to speak to the chef and he seemed annoyed with me. The chef was nice and assured me he would take care of me, which he did!! I had a shrimp and rice dish which was very tasty. The chips and salsa were delicious. I wanted to try the guacamole which they make table side, but there were only two of us and the portion was HUGE! I was nervous about getting glutened but I was totally fine. I’d just recommend placing your order with the chef so they follow gf protocol for cross contamination

We had a fantastic dinner- items are listed as GF on menu. Waitress explained they have separate kitchen prep areas. Tortilla chips are GF and fried in dedicated safe oil!! I also avoid dairy and they were very accommodating. Highly recommend.

Gluten free menu. The food was tasty. They accidentally put onions on our food (they replaced the food) and apologized profusely and gave us a a free flan which was perfectly cooked. They seem to take dietary needs seriously.

GF menu was great even for a vegetarian like myself. Food was DELISH!!!! Service was FABULOUS. One of my 11 year old twins claimed "this is the best quesadilla I've had in my life", and he ordered a whole wheat quesadilla! Can't say enough great things about our experience.

Fairly sizable gluten free menu. We went twice while in LA. I had the enchiladas but didn't care for them because of the sauce. However, the tacos were excellent. The chips and guacamole was excellent as well. I did not get sick either time we visited.

Read the reviews & it started out as a great experience. Server confirmed they could do gf, have a separate deep fryer and understood the severity of celiac.

Until they delivered the tacos with a flour tortilla instead of a corn tortilla listed. Took one bite and knew something was wrong.

Wait staff tried to say I ordered the wrong item despite verifying multiple times that it would be gluten free.

Wouldn’t recommend.

So many GF options all over the menu!! Be sure to get the GUACAMOLE EN MOLCAJETE. It's made tableside. The pink chips (and salsa) are GF. I enjoyed the QUESO FUNDIDO (to die for!), CHICKEN SUIZAS (enchiladas), rice and black refried beans. The server communicated with the cook about my allergy and took it very seriously.

My teen has celiac and is both very sensitive and very anxious about getting sick eating outside the home. The menu is marked with GF symbols at all the safe items and our server, Alex, was clearly well trained and familiar with what was safe for our son. His knowledge eased my son’s worries. Everything was great!
