Delicious food. Can't speak on the safety of the deep fryer, and had some variable knowledge by the waitstaff about Celiac. Had the tacos and the nachos, delicious and no reaction. Heaps of clearly labeled gf options, though fewer if you remove the fried options. Lots of veggie options too.

I really love this restaurant. We’ve ordered for work a few times & it is always delicious. More importantly, I’ve never had a reaction. I tend to stick with the tacos & I avoid anything that may be fried.

Just want to put this review up as a warning. First and foremost their food is delicious and always has been. However they previously had a separate space on their plancha for their corn tortillas, as well as a dedicated GF fryer. We went back in Summer 2022 and they regretfully informed us that they no longer have GF dedicated cooking spaces, so all of their tortillas (flour and corn) are fried on the same surface as well as their chips fried in the same deep fryer as their churros. Fortunately the server we got was upfront and told us that if we are celiac they would be unable to serve us. So despite certain items being labelled GF on their menu, they will almost certainly be cross contaminated unless their protocols have changed.

I read the previous review and decided not to order anything that was deep fried despite the GF on the menu. Typically as a sensitive Celiac I always ask about cross contamination with fried food and rarely is it safe. Seems to me that very few restaurants stating GF actually understand the true meaning of their statement. Most don’t understand soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce and oats as items that have gluten in them. Eating out is always a judgement call.

I spent several weeks in Mexico travelling with great success with the food so I was willing to give this a shot.

I ordered the tacos and had 3 different ones, Pollo Pibil, Al Pastor and Rajas Poblanas. Washed it down with a Horchata.

I was fine, no adverse reactions and was rewarded with some of the tastiest tacos I’ve ever had. I will definitely return and keep away from the deep fryer.

Emailed about protocols after reading great reviews for gf options. Have one fryer - so a lot of items marked gf on the menu are actually not an option for someone with Celiac. No protocols in place to minimize cc. Honest they aren’t set up for managing a medical gluten free diet requirement.

Great Mexican food! I love coming here! Staff is so nice and helpful. Also the food is so quick. Sometimes, I’ll order multiple times in the same sitting.
