Third time I’ve eaten here. The first thing our waitperson asked was if anyone had any allergies. Then she looked at me and said “you’re celiac, I remember.”

GF chips from a separate fryer. Our waitress told the kitchen to leave a fried something off my tacos as that was done in a shared fryer.

She also noticed that we were all getting tacos. (It was Tuesday) and suggested that if we wanted to mix and match, we should all get blue corn tortillas, and she’d tell the kitchen they all had to be GF.

I’m very symptomatic. Next day, I feel fine.

Very high on my “safe restaurant” list.

Super accommodating, great atmosphere, great service, lots of variety and gluten-free options. Just inform your server. he jumped at the opportunity to make any substitutions and informed me they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer for gluten-free chips. lots of drinks that are naturally gluten-free. would high recommend, definitely going to return.

I must say this is my favorite Mexican restaurant. They have an entire separate gluten-free menu that you just have to ask for, and the fact that they have a separate fryer for chips is an added bonus.

Excellent food! Separate GF menu. Fresh made tortilla chips are available from a GF fryer. I had sweet potato tacos with goat cheese! They were excellent! 12 hours later, no digestive issues or pain! Highly recommend!

I requested a gf menu. When my server brought it to me, she informed me that she already notified the chef. She offered recommendations and assured me that the apps made for the table were made gf. She came back to check with me several times. Food was delicious!

Separate gf menu and our waitress was very cognizant of allergy needs and assured us the kitchen was very accommodating and takes allergies seriously. The other waitress who put chips and salsa on our table couldn’t answer me when I asked if they was gluten free, but our waitress came back and told us gf chips fried separately were safe for us and she’d take back the first plate of chips. I had the snapper tacos which were good and flavorful but very small portions, and the other food I had was kind of bland (chips, rice , beans). My mom got Barbacoa which was also flavorful but very small portion too. I’d come back knowing it’s safe but I’d order differently next time. Also they’re a bit pricey but nice decor. Not usual for this area in my opinion.

The food is great and the staff is knowledgeable about gluten free. The chips they put on your table first are not made in the dedicated fryer and aren’t gluten free. Once your server stops by, ask for the chips from the dedicated gluten free fryer. Chips and guacamole were delicious. I got the steak tacos and rice. They were also very good. I have celiac disease and am very sensitive. I didn’t have any issues. The service was a bit slow, but I would definitely recommend.

Very friendly on the phone. They have a gluten free menu but do use common surfaces for cooking- high risk cross contamination. The make their corn and flour tortillas in house but prepare them all on shared equipment. Ended up not ordering.
