The fryer is shared so chips are not safe. Tacos are safe unless fried. Chips used to be safe...

Chips, salsa, guacamole and margaritas are good. Taco fillings were all mushy. Lots of gf options, just ask your server.

No gluten-free menu or dedicated frier, but the wait staff seem educated on cross-contamination and what is and isn't safe. Tacos were delicious!

I have never had any problems here and all of the staff know what’s gluten free; if not they ask. I always eat the tortilla chips, I believe they are the only things being put in the fryer unless they have certain specials. But pretty much the whole menu besides the hot dog buns, torta, and a few tacos it’s all gluten free!

Not a dedicated fryer, so can't have the tortilla chips. But they're very knowledgeable and most of their tacos are celiac-friendly. Just make sure to ask because sometimes they use beer in a batter or a sauce.

I am gluten free as well as dairy free. Imperial is hands down my favorite Mexican. Amazing tacos that are all gluten free . They do not have separate fryer for the tortilla Chips ,however , they will grill you some to eat with guac and salsa upon request. So good ! Awesome margaritas as well.
