Gluten free items are marked on the menu with a GF, which I learned when I called ahead - no need to special order anything. However, I ordered the adobo pork tacos and they came in a nice soft tortilla. I was suspicious but ate them anyway because I'm not celiac (I will just be miserable for a few days; not my preference, but I was super hungry, having been anticipating a safe meal). Now I know my suspicions were correct.

I also had to order the tacos without the sauce, as I told the waitress I can't have milk or cheese (allergy; I didn't use the word allergy but I suppose I know the reason why now - wait staff is probably only generally trained to understand the significance of a 'I can't have' request of you also say 'allergy'). However, the side of rice and beans that apparently comes with the tacos showed up later with cheese sprinkled on top.

Bottom line - don't trust the gluten free markings on the menu, and use the word 'allergy' if you need them to pay attention (if you even want to risk going here).
