Was a bit worried when I saw these reviews but I had no issues at all. I asked if the chips were gf and they got me “gluten sensitive” ones. I ordered the soft tacos and was a bit worried when the bread was white but they assured me it was corn tortillas. Overall it was a great experience and would go again!

Ordered the soft taco plate off of the gluten-sensitive menu and it was not gluten-free.

Celiac friendly?

No

While they do have a limited gluten sensitive menu, the staff are not trained of the severity of this issue. we had 3 orders of the bacon wrapped shrimp, 1 being GF and when the food came to the table the server could not tell which plate was which. The black beans are NOT GF. I ordered them once and was very sick and I'm not celiac; just very sensitive to gluten.

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF menu very limited unless you like fish. You can only have the ground beef, as all of the other meats are marinated. Beans and rice are not GF. You have to be very careful as none of the help is trained and will bring out glutened sauces with gluten free food. The only sauce you can have on an enchilada is the sour cream sauce which is my least favorite of them all.

They have a full GF Menu but an untrained staff. They sent out gluten food and got everyone sick! The manager didn't seem to understand the severity of the mistake.

Celiac friendly?

No

Was very specific with the server- he didn't understand gluten - I asked for gluten free chips - he brought me the ones with gluten - I was soooo sick!!!!

excellent food. gluten free menus. they go out of their way to make sure everything you get is gluten free.

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? ;-)
