Fusion type cuisine, do not expect traditional Mexican. Had two great tacos and coconut rice. Chips are made in a shared fryer, I decided to chance it with a gluten ease pill, I got redness on my lips but no lasting symptoms but I’m a hit or miss on cross contamination effects. She did tell me upfront it was a shared fryer and that she could bring out cut up veggies or corn tortillas. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely recommend for a fun fusion place.

Review
My husband and I ate here while passing through Wilmington. The server was knowledgeable about the GF options and was very accommodating- they were even happy to serve my dish with a gluten-containing sauce on the side so that my husband (Celiac) could try it. 24 hours later, my husband is still feeling fine, so we think they were very safe with CC!

Review
Celiac disease
Staff was super knowledgeable and VERY accommodating. I rarely ever eat out these days because I’m too scared but I felt so good about them. The waitress asked right away if it is Celiac and told me the fryers are shared so they wouldn’t be safe. She then went through the whole menu with me to show me what was safe and what could be made safe. She asked the kitchen lots of questions for us.
I was able to have an appetizer, entree AND dessert!! It is so incredible to get to eat out and eat good food. I was very happy.
Definitely worth a trip.

Wonderful options and staff willing to make accommodations. Both entrees were absolutely delicious, flavorful with tons of fresh ingredients. I recommend the ceviche and chocolate flan!

Shared fryer, but cleaned nightly and the chips are made before the day's oil is contaminated.

This is literally, no hyperbole the highest quality food in Wilmington. Although they are not a dedicated GF restaurant the staff are patient, knowledgeable and kind. Some of the menu is off limits but they only serve the best quality food so everything that is GF is still AMAZING. All corn tortillas made in house. I have eaten here several times and have strong CC sensitivity. While they may not be completely perfect I have never gotten sick here - recommend you arrive early to avoid busy rushes that might make accomodations more challenging.
Honestly stop reading and just go eat here. This is a perfect restaurant.

A unique take on food with a mix of small plate and full size plate options. Very aware of celiac, most of menu is gluten free. Tell your server have celiac. They will guide your options.

So bad news first. You can't have the tacos or empanadas as no dedicated fryer. But some great choices and waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable and they were happy to accommodate me. Delicious food
