We have eaten here a dozen times with no adverse reactions. Happy hour cuts the food prices drastically. Recommend the Brussel sprouts and goat cheese jalapeños.

I’ve been here a few times with no issues. The first time I came here, several years ago, the server told me the fajitas were the only reliably safe thing on the menu, so that’s what I always order. They still have only one fryer, so the tortilla chips aren’t safe.

Good food but ask questions. Waiter sad the tortilla chips are GF but cooked in fryer with breaded products—so not GF.

Looking online it looks like there are a lot of gf options which is great. But anything fried (even corn tortillas and chips) are not gf. So that limits the possibilities but it was still good. I got the matador bowl without tortilla strips and it was pretty good. Waitress knew what she was talking about.

The tortilla chips are NOT gluten free even though listed as gluten free. They are fried in a shared fryer. Food was just okay. Will not return. Service was horrible.
