Excellent. Many gluten free items. I think but am not certain that the chips are also gluten free, but I have never gotten sick there. Make sure you tell the waitress that you are allergic, and I always (in all restaurants) tell them to write it on the ticket to make sure the chef knows. Also, do that because some dishes can be made gluten free which requires different tortillas, etc. so you need to tell them. Bartender Victor is great, if by yourself or with a friend, consider eating at the bar. There Tequila selection is numerous as well. Enjoy.

Food was excellent with many items marked GF or can be made GF. Yes it is on the expensive side but no outrageously so. No GF beer available however.

Asked if they could prepare anything gluten free and the server said nothing is gluten free because there is too much cross contamination among everything and they can’t avoid it. If gf is just a dietary preference, this would probably be fine for you, but otherwise I would avoid.

I ordered to go and after getting my name and phone number, they immediately asked if I had any allergies. It was easy to order and the online menus have everything clearly marked! There is even a key to help indicate what is naturally gluten free and what can be made gluten free!

The food itself was good but definitely americanized.
