You can order corn chips or tortillas for tacos. They do not have a separate fryer or offer gf buns for sandwiches.

I asked the waitress to go over the GF options she showed me on the menu. Obviously salads can be GF sandwiches can be made with no bread and shrimp cocktail can be gluten free too. Fries are cooked in the same fryer as everything else and truffle fries are also not gluten free. Tacos can be made with corn tortillas I orders baby back ribs. Personally I find the food to be expensive.

DO NOT BOTHERsa Long story short, Great waitress Very few options especially for a Mexican restaurant Waitress checked out the tortillas and said they are not gluten free because there is some flour involved Picked one of few gf options - Cobb salad - arrived without dressing because their ranch is not gluten free Kid ate dry salad since their only dressing that was gf was oil and vinegar Disappointed but we didn’t get sick so that was the plus

I stopped in yesterday during vacation in Siesta Key. I was really disappointed with their gluten free options. The menu did not have anything marked gluten free despite having a GF symbol on very bottom of menu. The hostess said they recently changed menus. I told the server I have celiac and he said they have made changes and are now "gluten friendly" not "gluten free" and there is risk of cross contamination. He checked in the back and they were out of gf chips. He did walk me through the menu and pointed out things like subbing corn tortillas, for flour, etc. I felt very unsafe and did not order any food.

They have GF tortilla chips if you ask for them. They look store bought so be careful if they look house-made. Some GF marked items are not celiac safe so ask a few questions (our waiter said the plantains on an item marked GF were fried). Staff seem somewhat aware of cross-contamination. The bronzed salmon was really good!

I have celiac. While my food was good and made right, my kids who don’t eat gluten - their food was messed up. Then we had a bunch of other service issues that were really unfortunate. It’s a cute place with indoor/outdoor seating and I do recommend the nachos!

Did a takeout order and had no issues. The gf food is marked on the menu. They do seem very knowledgeable about what is safe to eat. I ordered the ribs and they were delicious and she was quick to say the fries are not gf because of being fried in a shared fryer. Definitely would eat there again.

I saw on here that they had safe chips and was excited to try on our vacation. The staff seemed very knowledgeable and we went through the whole celiac cc thing as we ordered and then I ordered chips and salad “for the table” and got a basket of house made chips… only to find out after we started eating them that they were actually made in a shared fryer. You have to ask for different chips (they come from a bag) for gf chips and salsa. Thankfully no one was ill but was a little disappointed. Food was good otherwise and fun atmosphere.

Was there yesterday and our server knew I was GF/ DF and EF (celiac) - was given the GF chips but didn’t know the guacamole had sour cream in it until questioned my meal to another server before taking a bite (ordered the fish lettuce wraps). Glad I waited bc two servers (and or manager?) came by repeatedly to let me know their concerns for allergies etc and the server was incorrect. They brought a totally deconstructed taco platter that was amazing and I could tell safe. Have to be vigilant here but when prepared right was excellent GF meal.

1 star because the environment was awesome. This review lacks the other 4 stars because my table’s only request was that my meal be cared for as gluten free and that was definitely not the case. The meal appeared as gluten free, but currently I’m paying for someone’s carelessness. Pretty sad for an establishment with plenty of gf meals labeled on the menu.

Had the chicken nachos. It was okay, as far as nachos go. As for gluten-free, the waitress was knowledgeable and friendly, and I didn't get sick. If I'm in the area again I'll try the tacos next.

I had the beef taco salad and it was delicious. The server knew how to address my allergy and the only thing I didn’t get with the taco salad which it normally comes with is the chips. Not a lot of gf options but it was good!

There’s only a couple options for gluten free but I asked about the nachos. My server went and checked before putting the order in because she said they have separate chips that never touch the fryer for celiacs and she wanted to make sure they had some that day. I appreciated her double checking for me and the nachos were yummy! So was the strawberry and jalapeño margarita!

It's a Baja Mexican type of food but they don't even have corn tortillas. The salads seemed to be the only safe bet and not too many more options.

The menu has GF options labeled, but I wasn't sure about cross contamination. Spoke with the manager who was awesome. He assured me they could provide a safe meal and would cook it separately from other foods. I enjoyed a delicious, beautiful meal in a fun atmosphere and didn't get sick! The mahi mahi lettuce wraps were great!
