GF items marked on the menu. They sometimes have prepackaged gluten free chips (basket chips are not GF).
I had the Fiesta Bowl with chicken; it was huge and delicious!

Review
They have all options labeled on their menu and the owner’s wife has celiac, so they are well informed. You do have to tell your waiter you’re gluten free, otherwise they WON’T take precautions to manage cross contact. Love having so many different options of things I can eat.

They document it and take precautions to avoid cc. Service can be slow, but the food is worth it. I have tried several dishes. They are clearly marked on the menu.
