You can do GF here BUT they need to prepare your food separately, which they will do, but it will take longer. Their fajitas are among the best around, but they use a wheat-based soy sauce in their marinade. So you need to ask for your meat to be prepared GF without the marinade and in a separate pan. They will do this for you! But it will take a little longer. So perhaps enjoy a delicious margarita and some chips, salsa, and guacamole while you wait. They also have corn tortillas. ALSO: You have to be sure to get the plain/white/cilantro rice (not the standard Mexican rice) and the only the black beans (ALL the other bean options (charro and refried) have gluten). Changing the meat is not enough, you have to watch out for the sides. But if you do all this, you will have a tasty fajita meal without gluten. And I’ve never been sickened when they do all this for me. Since it takes longer, we tend to order this as takeout that way we can order about 30-min before pickup and then enjoy our meal at home. A family favorite we do a few times a month. But if you stay, be sure to have a delightful margarita while you’re there!
