It was ok. My server didn’t know anything about gluten. They had a gluten-free symbol next to the types of taco shells you could choose, but no other menu items were marked GF. When I pointed out the gluten free symbol to our server, he said “if that says gluten free, then those are gluten-free”. I react to the spice in Mexican rice, so I ordered double black beans. It came with the rice on my plate & the server didn’t return until we were 1/2 way through the meal. The food was ok. Not the best. The chips and salsa were very good, but you pay ala carte.

Overall, the food was good but not my favorite. The food was average but the chips, queso, guac, and salsa were absolutely top notch in my opinion. I recommend coming here if you are interested in TexMex food! I didn’t have any stomach problems or get sick, so that was definitely a plus!

Given it is Tex mex food, there were lots of options on the menu that were corn based. Overall, food was ok and not impressive. Other local restaurants have better options! Just so so.

Staff acts like you're an alien and are zero help. Seriously, Mexican food is like one of the easiest things you can make gf. I had 2 tacos and got sick as a dog. I will not be going back. Bad food, bad service, bad experience.

Most tacos can be modified to be gluten free. Servers very knowledgeable about cross contamination. Ate here a couple of times without an issue!

Have never been sick here. You have to go online to see what's GF, and if you order online, you CAN mark a celiac allergy. I've eaten here many many times, but you t Do have to be proactive and not expect the waitstafft9 walk you through it.

The manager is very knowledgeable on gluten free items and made suggestions to us. Most items can be made gluten free. Servers have a button to mark the items “allergy” so that extra precaution is taken while preparing your meal. So far my daughter has been able to eat here with no issues.

I ordered the Black & Blue hard shell tacos. They fry the shells in a separate frier- SO DELICIOUS! Ask for Tony or Anita if you have an allergy, they take it very seriously. I’ve been 3 times in one week!!! They were training someone new who in a hurry accidentally cross contaminated the frier… Anita and Tony took care of me by having a whole separate pot of oil on the stove so there was no cross contamination. I think we’ll start going at least once a week! I’m not sure what other items are safe so I’ll need to ask next time.
