Team seems to be very knowledgeable. Menu is all marked. Nachos are fantastic, have tried a variety of bowls and tacos and they are equally delicious! Margaritas are a must!

I think their tacos are some of the best around, and they have a dedicated fryer for french fries which is really refreshing. I hate when I can’t have the fries bc of cross contamination. I’ve eaten there twice and so far so good! Most of their menu is gluten free anyway besides the soft tacos

Most of the menu is gluten free and clearly marked. Servers have been friendly and patient with my questions. I have gone twice and gotten the three-taco platter both times, with a variety of tacos. Incredibly delicious! Crunchy shells and the fillings are so so good! One time I got beans and rice as a side and they were just okay. I haven’t had any reactions.

What a truly amazing experience! Our family of six has two with Celiac. It is nearly impossible to get delicious, safe Mexican, especially chips! The food was delicious and the service by the entire staff, especially our server, Matthew, was superb! No cross contamination at all by the two of us with Celiac. We had chips, queso, guacamole, black bean dip, crunchy corn tacos and more. Almost EVERYTHING on the menu is GF. We will definitely go back again soon.

This place is amazing. Cassie (Manager? Owner?) and John (server) were the best!!!! I ordered tacos but when I tested them with my Nima the freshly made corn tortillas came back positive for wheat. They made me a new batch AND a fajita bowl as back up. They are SUPER conscientious of all allergies and restrictions and were mortified by the cross contamination. (They've even changed from peanut to sunflower oil -- at greater expense to them -- for their patrons with peanut allergies). Highly recommend.

So nice to go somewhere and NOT get glutened! The menu clearly marks which items are GF. I had one of the chicken rice bowls and it was delish! Deducted one star because they do not have GF chips.

This place was spectacular! I almost cried with how GF friendly they were. Our server was very knowledgable about GF and was extremely gracious in answering all of my questions. The menu items were also clearly labeled GF. I had tacos which were utterly Delish as well as their pineapple cider which was very good. The kicker was that they served their tacos with TWO corn tortillas instead of one because Corn tortillas have a tendency to tear and as the server said, "who likes a torn tortilla?" The attention to detail was commendable. We have gone back a couple times and would recommend it to anyone GF or non GF.

I like the Green Lemon, but would not risk eating the chips. They will make guacamole in front of you, and it's excellent. They have great bowls. My go-to meal is Fitness Chicken, love it!

As stated in one of the previous reviews, this place isn't celiac friendly. Although I asked for the gluten free menu, I was only informed of the chips being fried with gluten foods after specifically asking the wait staff. I ended up ordering my nachos with corn tortillas instead of chips, but I guess those could have been contaminated as well. Despite being a celiac, I do not feel "small" amounts of gluten, so I cannot say for sure whether I was "glutened". Nonetheless, the food was excellent and the portions large, which is why I only deduct one star.

I enjoyed my taco, it tasted fresh. I did not get sick from eating here but I also made a point not to eat anything fried! None of the chips or hard taco shells. Cross contamination can occur there from what I understand. They wanted to give us a free dessert (very kind) but it was fried churro and bananas foster so I could not eat it. Very cool atmosphere. On Tuesday it's very crazy due to $2 tacos and lots of people go to drink. Looks like a cool spot to hang out.

Green Lemon has a gluten-free menu but does not understand the definition of gluten-free. Their chips are fried in a fryer with other breaded-containing items and many of the meals listed as gf contain tortilla strips and other fried items that would disqualify their food as "gluten-free."

Other than this, the food here is awesome but you have to be smart about what you order if you have Celiac/gluten intolerance. Don't eat the chips—they are cross contaminated in the fryer—so bring your own. Some of the bowls have tortilla strips—request without because they are probably fried. They are not trained to understand cross contamination here.

I spoke to the manager who said there will be a meeting the week of 8/4/13 to redefine their item menus as gluten-free... But none of the items listed with a "gf" has changed.
