This is a cute little place with a handful of tables to sit and eat. You order on a tablet and they bring you the food. The menu is definitely not traditional Mexican, as it blends Indian foods and flavors. However, it is entirely GF (and vegetarian). So no worries of cross-contamination anywhere.

The food was good - the black magic was delicious (a blend of mushed black beans and spices). The salsa was very spicy and even the guac had a kick! I also tried a mushroom something taco and a potato something taco which were good, but definitely loved the black magic!

We are blessed that the only GF restaurant in area also happens to be so delicious! A magical marriage of Indian and Mexican food. We especially love the street corn and the nachos. There is also a kids menu.

Fully gluten free and vegetarian. I’ve eaten here twice. Not the biggest fan of the food personally, but it’s nice to have a safe gf place around

Excellent food. Great service. Very safe. Entirely gluten free with the exception of some local prepackaged sealed sweets which may or may not be GF but are sealed and won’t cause cross contact.

100% GF Indian & Mexican Fusion Restaurant. Vegetarian with vegan options. They say it’s authentic Mexican with an Indian flare, but Indian cuisine is more present than that.

Pros. Great flavors & good portions. Cons: Some dishes can be spicy, if you’re not a spicy fan. Chips were room temp and guac was my least favorite thing I tried.

Overall, good sport and I will visit again the next time I’m in the area.

This place is completely GF, and the tacos are flavorful and delicious. The owner is great too. I've been 3 times (so far) while I've been visiting Somerville. There's nice indoor and outdoor dining.

Everything here is gluten free and absolutely amazing. I have Nima tested pretty much every item on the menu and all came up gluten free. I eat here 3-4 times a month with no issue.

I love this place! Almost the entire menu is GF. I spoke to the owner and the only thing not GF is the flaming hot Cheetos in one of the Mexican street corn. The owner was super nice and everything was delicious. I have tested multiple items with my Nima and it came back all smiles

The owner was incredibly nice and knowledgeable with gluten, almost nothing on the menu has gluten in it (all tortillas are corn) and everything tastes amazing!
