Review
Went there today and the staff was so wonderful! They have a separate air fryer. Their chips and salsa are gluten free. I had the carne assada taco and nachos. They were upfront with me and said my food would take longer because the meat were marinated in beer so they would start my meat from scratch. I did not get sick (I get symptoms within 30 minutes). So excited that I can eat here!

I’ve eaten tacos, guacamole, and chips here numerous times. They have a dedicated fryer for the chips and they are delicious. The staff is knowledgeable on what is gluten free.

No GF menu, but the staff is pretty knowledgeable on what is GF. They will also do what they can to accommodate any allergies, but Celiac safe is a no.

Review
They do not have a gluten free menu but the servers are extremely knowledgeable. The chips are in their own fryer. The enchiladas are gluten free which is hard to find sometimes. The food was amazing and very safe. I have celiac and I felt completely safe eating there and I am perfectly fine after eating. I had the watermelon and beet salad which was incredible. Take off the croutons. I also had the guacamole with chips, three different tacos and the rice and beans. The food was really good and the service was great. I brought a lot of food home because everything was pretty decent size.
Both of my kids also have celiac and I cannot wait to bring them here.

Review
The fryer for chips was contaminated the week we were there due to Chile relleno dish being fried in it. Had to ask several waiters to learn this, the rest said chips were gluten free. They gave us free cucumbers for guac due to the confusion. Had two of the tacos which waiter said were gluten free. Staff worked hard to be helpful.

The menu doesn’t have items marked but the waiter was very knowledgeable about even cross-contamination. He made me feel safe while eating at this restaurant! I would come back again!

Review
The menu did not indicate any gluten-free items, but the receptionist and staff understood the gluten issues. When they were not sure, they checked with the chef for confirmation. Everything I ate was gluten-free, and I had no bad reactions.
