Great food with great service. Their chips come from GF factory. Had their chili lime chicken tacos and they were delicious. Also had the celiac-friendly mango cheesecake and it was very good. Others at our table had the el pastor tacos and they were very good. Non GF friends also enjoyed the food. Didn’t get sick.

Chips are safe from cross contamination, and GF items are marked. I wouldn’t say it was the best food I’ve ever had, but it was fine and I felt good about their GF protocols.

I just had one of the worst meals at Blue Agave Grill where I tried one of their breakfast burritos which was an oily mess of a meal. Bacon was not cooked, it was served in a runny plate and complete uneditable. I ate a single bite and I was done. The worst meal I have ever had period at a restaurant. It is really too bad because I have really enjoyed their tacos en fuego in the past but I will never come back to this restaurant. They still charged me for my meal. Avoid this dump of a restaurant. Looking forward to it closing very soon. Even the restaurant owner didn’t want to do anything to fix the issue. Good luck.

Ate here twice while in Denver. Really good food and a majority of the menu is gluten free. Got the guac one night and the chorizo dip the second time (wasn’t that good). And the chili lime tacos and street tacos. All was great!

Awesome! They have a GF frier too. Celiac friendly and it’s marked on the menu which items are celiac safe. I had the corn dip and chicken tacos. No issues!

They have gluten free clearly marked on the menu. The hostess and waitress both seemed knowledgeable on cross contamination worries. I had the black and white nachos and Buffalo green chili. Both tasted wonderful and I didn’t get any reaction.

So super yummy 🤤 and they have a color coded gf label. Blue gf is gluten free and the orange gf dishes can be made gluten free. Lots of options. Gave them my equal eats card and ate a safe dish of ahi tuna.

Horrible experience. Stated that we are celiac from the moment we walked in the door. We were served flour tortillas. Server failed to enter the order as gluten free. Stay away!!

Review
The menu has Celiac, Gluten Free, & Gluten Free Option. When asked the waitress was knowledgeable and let us know that the ones marked Celiac were completely safe and the other 2 could be made safe from cross-contamination if noted. There were so many options available to me it was hard to decide. I had the warm chorizo corn dip to share and the Signature Asada- both were delicious!

Lots of options. They have a special marking for celiacs friendly, which the server said means it’s GF ingredients and no cross-contamination, whereas GF is GF ingredients but chance of cross-contamination. I got the guacamole and tuna steaks. The chips for the guacamole weren’t fresh and tasted bland but otherwise everything was delicious.

Celiac-friendly is marked on the menu (there are also “gluten free” markings that designate an item is gf but may be cross contacted), making ordering confidently very easy. If you’re ordering from the celiac friendly items only, there aren’t a ton of options. My drink was delicious but my food was mediocre. I’d go here for apps and drinks again, but probably not for a full meal.

Items specifically marked "safe for celiac" (which is different than some items which are just marked gf- probably the gf ones have cross contamination possibilities and the celiac ones do not). Super knowledgeable staff, so many celiac safe options. And also great tasting food!

Review
I was a little confused about their terminology on the menu. GF=gluten free, but C=celiac. It was nice to know that they know what Celiacs is and that they know not to cross-contaminate. However, I did bring up to the server that GF should mean that there isn’t any cross-contamination. The food was so good though! I got the poblano relleno with chorizo. Highly recommend!

Menu had celiac, gluten free, and gluten free option designations. The server was not well informed. There were only a few celiac options marked and the server was not sure what the differences were. The manager was helpful and let us know that the chips are not made on-site so they could be made celiac safe. Had the grilled chili lime chicken tacos and did not get sick.

A little liberal with the GF marks on the menu. Have two tiers. Naturally GF or can make it GF which should usually be a red flag. Anyway, waitress was extremely accommodating. Got plain grilled salmon dish with avocado and arugula. Good. No issues.

Ate here twice on a business trip. Wait staff was knowledgeable and asked if I had an allergy. Their menu has lots of GF options including differentiating between items that are fully GF versus ones that need to be modified to be made GF. I did not get sick from either meal and food tasted good.
Review
Got sick here. Waitress had no idea about gluten and allergies. Told me the opposite of which items were GF. The staff needs better training.

Tons of options. Staff was knowledgeable. Food was good.

Had a great meal. Chips are safe to eat and there are many choices on the menu.

Lots of gluten free options marked on the primary menu. Chicken tacos and guac we're tasty but not very special. Overpriced. Server was very knowledgeable.
Review
Very sensitive celiac, never been sick from eating here. Great happy hour, chips and salsa GF too (not fried)
Review
