The manager was nice enough to tell me the fryer they use to make the tortillas pliable is shared. No go. So glad he told me.

If you are celiac save yourself the trouble and just go to chipotle or qdoba if you want Mexican. The girl taking the order had no idea about gluten nor was there a gf menu. For those who got tostadas they are fried and I highly doubt they have a dedicated fryer that's a no go. Ordered a bowl with out the yellow rice and no chips, guess what I got in my order. Find looked great and would give it a 5 star for normal people but it should not be on this site IMO.

I only get the beef tostadas with queso. I don't get sick but I do get gassy! I don't eat the chips.

Really nice and helpful staff but surprisingly little GF for a Tex Mex place. Had soft corn tacos with blackened chicken. Not much flavor Addendum: had a medium reaction. I think the soft corn tortillas were NOT 100% corn

I eat here all the time. I live so close and it's so convenient. Always get the queso and beef tostadas. I ask them to change their gloves and tell them I am severe gluten sensitive. Have NEVER gotten sick.

good gluten free corn tortilla options. cross contamination could occur, they say, but only the obvious things have gluten, plus the ranch dressings.

Staff is very pleasant and helpful! It helps to arrive when it is not real busy so they can take their time preparing your food using all of the Celiac safety precautions (which they did). I ordered a burrito bowl. All of the proteins are GF and the rice, black beans, cheese, Lettuce, tomato, onions, are as well. The chips and taco shells are NOT. The meal was filling but it sure would've been nice to have some chips for texture! Price? There were 3 of us eating and before tip it was $56 and some change (no alcohol). Pleasant environment. Very clean. Great place for folks of all ages!

I ordered a taco with a corn tortilla and was careful about toppings to avoid gluten and dairy. The manager came out after my order was placed to let me know the tortillas are fried with gluten items. He was so kind and helped me build a rice bowl instead for no additional charge. I couldn’t have the chips either, but he gave me a corn salsa side instead. Fantastic customer service!
