Very few options here for Celiacs. I ended up not ordering anything and went to a GF taqueria around the corner to be safe.

Before we sat down, I asked the front door person about their general menu, specific food items, food prep, and cross-contact. She acknowledged that there were not very many GF items, much less celiac-safe items, and there was definitely cross-contact. She did suggest that we could tell the server and they would do the best they could. The chips and other foods are all fried in the same oil. This is NOT celiac-safe. We decided it was too risky and decided not to eat there.

When we sat down the waiter initially told me i could eat anything but the chili relleno. I then enquired about the shared fryer and he acknowledged that they were not safe but mexican food was inherently gluten free. I placed an order and he checked with the chef. Came back to say the ONLY think they could make safely was a plain green salad with shrimp.

We went here with friends and I ate safely. No chips or anything fried in oil as the other reviewer said...but they were very accommodating, made me feel safe and I enjoyed my meal. I also dint eat dairy, so they made sure it was both GF and DF. Not sick after, so it was a win. Everyone else we were with loved their food. We would definitely go back!

You can’t eat the chips, or anything else fried in the oil. Chef told me they fry the peppers in the same oil too- so you can’t have enchilada sauce. They get credit for taking care of me and making sure what I did get was safe- but the options are limited.
