There are so many GF choices. The flautas was my favorite. My daughter's favorite was the Birria. The portions are good sized. The place is surprisingly huge but I highly suggest making reservations ahead of time just to be safe. We went during Cinco de Mayo.

Had a great lunch there. The chips they gave with salsa came in their own dedicated frier so they are safe gf. They have color coded plates (green square plate for those with celiac) to prevent cross contamination. Plenty of gluten free options to choose from. I had the chicken tacos with Spanish rice on corn tortillas which were delicious. They do offer a cauliflower cassava tortilla for a quesadilla as well that you can request.

I called ahead to make sure they could accommodate a celiac with dairy and soy allergies. They assured me they could, but AFTER serving our chips and salsa, the waiter came back and told us that soy oil is used to fry the chips. The waiter was very kind and overall the service was good. No bad allergic reactions. However, the food and margaritas were mediocre at best.

Review
Chips and salsa came out right after sitting down and I asked the waiter if they are fried, as I always do with Mexican restaurants. He immediately said yes, but in their own dedicated fryer as if he had known my question and was asked many times. Loved this! Servers who just get it. I ate probably too many chips and salsa and had the chicken enchiladas with corn esquites. All of it was so delicious and even better was that none of it made me sick. The one downside was that we came at the end of brunch and none of their brunch food options were gluten free, but there’s still plenty of options on the regular menu!

This is a favourite when visiting the city! The food is always amazing and the majority of the menu is gluten free. They take coeliac disease and other allergies very seriously, which makes me feel so confident eating here. I would recommend the Enchiladas Suizas, they’re the best!

Review
My daughter is Celiac and sensitive. We first called the restaurant and they were very knowledgeable about cross contamination. Their website is very clearly labeled for GF items and there are quite a few options. We ordered and personally picked up the Budín de Pollo, Carnitas, and the GF fish dish. The food was superb and my daughter ate everything with no issues.

There are a lot of Gluten Free options and the staff acknowledged they avoid cross contamination. I’ve eaten there three times and have walked away super happy and full :)

I am a regular here and have never had any issues! Go enough and you may get some freebies! 😏
Review
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.

Review
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.
