Have eaten here many timed with our celiac son and never had any issues. Chips are dedicated fryer. Last time though my son had the kids cheese quesadilla. Within 2 hours he was so violently ill he had to be amulanced to Children's Hospital.

They don’t really have a gluten-free menu anymore so it’s hit or miss depending on your waiter.

Updating my review in 2021: menu has changed considerably, and I have no confidence in their ability to prepare safe food. Won’t go again.
Love Hacienda! Delicious chips and salsa (and skinny margaritas!), and they have a separate GF menu. My meal always comes out separately (usually carried by a manager), and I've never gotten sick after eating here.

Gluten friendly is not gluten free. I had to cancel my reservation and find a different place to eat.
Great atmosphere, great staff. Large portions. We had fajita for 2, steak and chicken combo. So yummy we should’ve gotten fajita for one and shared. They bring out chips and salsa while you wait for food. We wasn’t disappointed
Yes
They have a very extensive GF (friendly) menu. I’m INCREDIBLY sensitive and they did an amazing job! My waitress was great about communicating with the kitchen. I had enchiladas and they were SOOO good! Thank You Hacienda for giving my Mexican food options! They aLSO have a GLUTEN sensitive aka free fryer so the chips and salsa were a go and DELISH!
Yes
There is a menu on-line for every possible allergy with lists of what you can order. Bartender made the BEST gluten free margarita. I’m also allergic to oranges and have had such a hard time finding a margarita that I like. Will go back again and again!!!!!

I have eaten at Hacienda Colorado at this location three times and have never gotten sick. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to help. They have a separate prep area and the dishes are a different color. I was told the dishes are wrapped in saran wrap when removed from the dishwasher to avoid any airborne gluten. The manager brings gf meals to the table and has monitored the preparation of the meal. This review is for this location only.

Very celiac friendly. Gluten-free orders are delivered to your table by management.

I really like the chips and salsa. I also like their poblano pepper gluten free meal. I have eaten there many times and not gotten sick. I manager usually brings the gluten free meal out and I think the plates are a special shape which is likely helpful behind the scenes.

If you are celiac ask for a gf menu and inform your server of a gluten "allergy". They then inform the manager who observes food preparation and service to be sure it is gf and not cross contaminated. The fajitas and tacos are delicious. The gf enchiladas aren't worth trying.

I really like this place. Has lots of options and servers are very helpful. But I had a Shirley Temple and it kinda ruined my visit because after I drank it my stomach hurt. Don't order Shirley Temples!

Yummy food. Got really sick!
GF menu with lots of choices, knowledgable staff. Food was delicious and I didn't get sick.

This is my favorite go-to restaurant for gf! I've eaten off of their gf menu several times, and never gotten sick. It is delicious! Try their beef enchiladas with ranchero sauce and gf refried beans for a great dinner.
Chips are in a separate fryer so gf. They no longer have a gluten free menu or information about gf on the menu. The server was pretty knowledgeable and happy to go back n forth to the kitchen to ask. However, it took a lot of back and forth and there was still almost an issue. I ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp the last two times. Server said grill was just for seafood so it was safe (all beef products not gf due to soy sauce in marinade). Both times they brought a butter dipping sauce but then realized it had gluten before I ate it. First time server realized after food was dropped off. This time one server said it was safe but when I double checked with runner who brought food he went to kitchen and said no it has gluten. My celiac daughter had enchiladas. Only two of the sauce options (red and queso) are gluten free. Neither of us were sick afterwards but all the back n forth with server and kitchen was not very relaxing.

Staff were very knowledgeable and had good options for gf folks. We got the nachos on corn tortillas and the carne asada tacos on corn tortillas. Great experience and would definitely be back, the flavors were delicious.

Had a wonderful experience! Carlos and Kiera went above and beyond making sure my food was safe.
Waiter was very knowledgeable. I thought I could have any of the fajitas if I got corn tortillas. Absolutely not - the waiter said the only thing that was safe were the chicken fajitas (which were very good). Not a lot of choices for us there but food was decent.

Definitely recommend, though I'm not sure if the experience is server related. No GF menu and not marked on the menu but our server knew what was and was not GF in every category of item. Service was excellent from the moment we walked in the door. Food was good and reasonably priced. Will go again when I'm in town.
