I am visiting from out of town and am very nervous when eating out but this place had good accommodations! They have separate gluten free chips that aren’t in the shared fryer so def ask for them! They were able to use these chips on the nachos too. Tacos on the corn tortillas were great too! Server was knowledgeable!

The restaurant itself is so cool and interesting. Feels more authentic culturally. And the food was so good! I got a lettuce wrap taco, which I didn’t realize was a thing. Fantastic. And a second with a corn tortilla. They can basically make 95% of the menu gf. Def go 👏🏻

Such a great experience!! Majority of the items on their menu can be made gluten free (with corn tortillas). When you tell your waiter you are gluten free, they will bring out special GF tortilla chips. The tacos are alright, nothing too special. Did not get sick, as they take the necessary precautions. I was able to drink the margaritas here too:)

Some of the best tacos and salsa I’ve ever had! Ask for gluten free chips.

The waitress or waiter will have the most info about their food, we called ahead but the kids who man the phones don’t know nearly as well as they do. Told almost anything on menu can be made GF. Brisket won’t work cause braised in beer. Bang bang shrimp won’t work but can sub blackened or grilled shrimp. No dedicated fryer. Was told breaded foods can fall into same oil as chips. But have GF tostada chips, and good salsa. Nachos made with the GF chips. Corn tortilla warmed in a separate place from other foods. Indoor and outdoor seating. Desserts like vanilla ice cream and flan. Carne asada was terrific. Nachos were ginormous. Beans and rice below average.

This is a great little Taco place near the beach. The food is great, and their menu says that can make almost everything gluten free. However, this restaurant only gets 4 stars because it is unclear whether or not their chips are cooked in a shared or dedicated fryer. We asked about the chips too late, which is my bad. I didn't get super sick, but I had some mild CC symptoms.

I still recommend this place; however, let your waiter or waitress know BEFORE they bring the chips.

The staff was extremely knowledgeable about cross contamination and brought out safe tortilla chips since the fryer is used for other things. Staff went out of their way to make sure my daughter was not cc’d, even the runners ID’d her meal as he brought it out. No symptoms of illness afterwards. Amazing job!!

Was in town for business and a few of us ladies who eat gluten free (me celiac and another lady intolerant) also by choice vegan. Our waitress Sarah M. was amazing and very knowledgeable about gluten free vegan options. Which they can make any taco pretty much gluten free (soy sauce is gluten free) I had the avocado tacos added baja shrimp to it and the special of the night was seared tuna and they have soft corn shells and chips and salsa are gluten free. They do fry it in same fryer, which does not bother me. Super delicious food!

Some of the staff is very knowledgeable and some not. I ate here once was told the chips were fine, felt awful by the time I left and was told the next time they had separate chips for gluten free. I don’t consider it a safe option for that reason. The tacos were good but not really worth the risk if they can’t get chips straight.

I have gotten violently ill from the restaurant twice. Both times I communicated my allergy clearly and I felt comfortable with the waitresses understanding but clearly there is something going horribly wrong in that kitchen. This was the second and first worst gluten reaction I’ve had in years. I will never go here again.

So glad we found this place! They went above and beyond to accommodate us without us even having to ask. We mentioned I had celiac and he said "oh yeah - we'll take care of you! They'll change their gloves and work space. Not a problem." Apparently the owner's wife has celiac so they're well informed. We'll be back!!!

On the corner of the menu it states that most items can be made gluten free... I asked the waiter what COULD NOT be made GF and he named 2 menu items!!! The rest of the menu either already is or can be modified to be GFREE!!! When I told him of my restrictions he brought me my own bowl of GF chips and my own bowl of salsa! Very GF aware!!! 5 stars!

One of my favorite places to eat of all time! The carnita taco is so good! They offer GF corn tortilla or lettuce wraps and almost all their tacos can be made GF. Great environment. Be prepared to wait a long time to eat unless you get lucky and snag a seat in the bar section! They will text you when your table is ready.
