Not safe for Celiacs. Waitress confirmed this as well. Even after very specific request with order, food came out with gluten touching it. Not feeling well and regretting decision to try!

Great experience! The main menu has separate lunch and dinner options, but they will make anything on the gluten-free menu at any time of day!

Good food and many options. Chips are gluten free. You need to stay away from carne asada since they marinate it with beer. We had no issues and enjoyed our dinner

A fair number of options and the food was quite good. There are no markings on the menu but the servers were helpful and the manager stopped by to double check. None of the beef dishes are gluten free (cooked with beer) and same with the beans. All of the grilled chicken is gluten free and so is the rice and spicy slaw. The server informed me that the tortilla chips are corn but are cooked in a shared fryer.

Staff was very knowledgeable and the manager came and asked me about my GF allergy. Everything was delicious and didn’t get sick.

I liked so much SOL, They are so prepared about gluten allergies. they welcomed us with "chips" type tacos (fabulous) and sauces all gluten-free except beans that are cooked in beer. The whole menu is gluten-free except meat (because it is marinated in beer), meat asada and burrito. One world WOW

I was in Scottsdale with my family craving Mexican food. We decided to give this place a chance because it looked nice and was nearby. As soon as we walked in the hostess had an attitude with us. When she took us to our table and gave us the menus she gave us the menus with attitude and basically shoved them into our hands. The gluten free options are very very limited. Yes, they have a “gluten friendly” menu, but the options are still limited. I got the chicken tacos with corn tortillas, rice and a watermelon margarita. The chicken tacos were delicious and a safe food options for celiacs like myself, but the rice was not it. I told our server I was allergic to onions and there were still onions in the rice. Thankfully I caught that, stopped eating the rice and did not react badly, but that is a major allergen that was missed. The watermelon margarita was not that great either. It was chunky and sour. My family got chicken tacos, house margaritas and the birthday dessert as well and they thought the food was just okay. Overall, the food was half/half, food allergies were missed where it could’ve ended horribly if not caught, and it did not feel very welcoming. We will not be coming back here. I do not recommend to celiacs or people with food allergies due to the fact that it might be missed or forgotten. I completely understand that accidents happen, but food allergies are a very serious matter that can end horribly.
