I quite enjoyed this restaurant. they understood my needs about the importance of being g-free. The waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu. she let me know of items that are gluten free that do not appear on the gluten free menu.

Ask for the gluten free menu when you arrive. They also have gluten free chips on request. Gluten free salsa options are limited though.

We always get excellent service here. I'm not as sensitive as I use to be but I've never gotten a reaction here. They bake chips to make them gluten free. The gluten free is small but its all delicious. Just make sure to ask for no chip in the guacamole if you order it.

Small GF menu and so-so food. Make sure to request that chips are baked instead of fried. They do not have a dedicated fryer.

Decent gluten free menu. Made our daughter a meal without spicy sauce and prepared the shrimp cocktail shrimp plain even though this was not on the menu. If you like Mexican food, you can get a good gluten free meal here.

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? ;-)
