Staff was helpful. Gluten free tortilla chips I’m dedicated fryer. Not amazing chips but decent. Menu was small but the food was good. Wish the menu you was larger but great place for gluten free Mexican food.

The server we had took celiac very seriously. He went the extra mile with gf chips and making sure things were cooked and served separately. I didn't get sick and it felt like a victory, as having celiacs has made dining out mostly unpleasant.

Small gluten free menu. Delicious beef tacos, attentive wait staff that is informed and sensitive to food allergy requests.

Not celiac safe. The server understood gf (supposedly) then told me midway through the meal that the corn tortillas were warmed in the same room and on the same surface where they make the flour tortillas. I got sick obviously.

I'm a sensitive Celiac (I explained this) and I ordered the tamales, lime cilantro rice and vegetables with out seasoning. The vegetables looked like it had seasoning on them so I didn't eat them. I did however eat the Gluten free chips, which I was assured where prepared and cooked in an area and oven that was only used for gluten free items, the tamales and the cilantro lime rice oh and the salsa. I'm not sure where the gluten was but I got sick. It wasn't too bad so I'm guessing it was a contamination issue.

Limited menu, food fair, staff had some gf knowledge. I would probably eat there again just order something different than tamales.

They do have a gluten-free menu with tacos, fajitas, tamales, salad, and dessert. They’ll make you fresh, gluten-free chips that are baked, not fried, for safety. My husband and I both ordered fajitas (mine GF and his not) and they sent the tortillas in the same container. Mine were corn tortillas wrapped up and his were flour tortillas underneath. We just carefully got mine out without touching anything else but next time I’ll specifically ask for them to be separate. I wouldn’t have thought they’d put them together.

Very few GF options. They made me some GF chips but they didn’t arrive until just before our meal. They do not have ala-cart menu options. I ordered the ground beef enchilada and they brought me steak. The guacamole was excellent..it was the only redeeming experience. Service was extremely slow and inattentive.

Very little gluten free options, which is extremely disappointing considering its a Mexican restaurant. Additionally after already asking about gluten I was served chips that weren't gluten free.

There is a separate gluten sensitive corner on the menu with enough choices. And I couldn’t choose and the chef made a surprise dinner for me. Super tasteful and super nice. 10/10. Can I move this restaurant to the Netherlands? ;-)
