The menu is not gluten free, instead it is gluten friendly (major difference for celiac’s).

They did have a gluten free menu, however it was very confusing to make sense of (ex. One item said you can have ____ without beans, but then on the safe side items it says you can have beans). The waitress we had had no idea about gluten free eating and made a lot of assumptions that would have made me sick had I not corrected her. When I got my food it didn't taste good. The food tastes very "pre-made" and "artificial" to me. Did not enjoy it. Had mad heartburn all night. Would not go back.

The server we had wasn't very knowledgeable but was willing to find out for me. The gf menu was a little confusing. The food was ok... I'd go back.

I did not end up eating here because the person I spoke with when I called said that most of their meat is either cooked or reheated on the same flat top that is used to make their quesadillas and he had at some point seen people cook gluten in their dedicated gf fryers. He said they could definitely accommodate if I let them know it was severe, but it didn’t seem like a place I would trust not to contaminate.

Had fajitas. They were very good and the had a dedicated menu for celiac. Wait staff was knowledgeable. We brought our own chips for the salsa, which is pretty standard everywhere these days as the frier is shared.

I ate the chips with no reaction and they had many options on the gluten-free menu but I did see that they had a combo on the normal menu. I got the pick 2 flautas with double rice. The chicken tortilla soup is also good without the tortillas.
