I absolutely loved this modern Mexican restaurant located in the heart of Queenstown! (I went there twice in the space of 3 weeks) The atmosphere is warm, the dishes are delicious... but above all: it's a safe place for celiacs. 🌮 The menu offers many gluten-free alternatives, and the staff is really knowledgeable and attentive. I felt like I could eat without stress, and that's priceless. 🥹 The real highlight? I was able to eat my first gluten-free churros in 5 years, served with a chocolate sauce to die for. It was so good! 🍹 The cocktails are excellent: original, fruity, and perfectly measured. All in a colorful, energetic setting. 👉 A must-try in Queenstown if you're gluten-intolerant or celiac. And even if you're not, the dishes are definitely worth the detour!

It’s always difficult eating out when gluten free but there’s so many GF options!!! The girl working out the front really sold it to us! Platter was awesome but make sure to starve yourself before going as it’s a huge portion! Ha!

These two meals cost almost $70. Ordered chicken nachos and got beef. Both meals were ordered gluten free (menu said nachos were gluten friendly) but got one with nachos (as ordered) and one with meat dumped into a box and dry tacos. Portions were very small. This would never have been served up in a restaurant for $32 each. Meal tasted terrible.

We returned after a great experience about a year ago while visiting the Mount. This time however the food was just okay. Although the bean dip was stone cold. Evidently it's meant to be.... Yet when you get bean dip as a side on a meal it is warm?! The service was poor, at least five servers, on a quiet night and we were left waiting an incredibly long time before the desert order was taken. When asked if any desserts were available as gluten free nothing was possible .... Not even ice cream which came with other desserts?!? Was just okay, but nothing to make us want to return.

Being Gluten Free we previewed the menu to check what we wanted. Arrived ordered our drinks and once our drinks arrived we went to order our Entree which we were then advised they couldn't make as they don't have all the ingredients. (Had we known that there were only select things.on the menu available prior to ordering our drinks we would have left.) Went on to order pur mains and had the same issue couldn't have what we wanted as they did not have all the ingredients super disappointed. Also got offered a bottle of water which seemed to take for ever to arrive and ended up asking for it multiple times until it finally arrived. Service was slow and I am sure they kept forgetting about us nobody seemed to really care that we couldn't order what we wanted like it was standard procedure for things not to be available on the menu. Very disappointing.

I notice people rarely review good experiences because so many people expect it, but people are quick to complain online if a hair is out of line. So here are some kinds words to the staff that served my partner and I tonight. I came in near close with my partner for a takeaway dinner and the lovely staff were friendly, and efficient in serving us while others were tidying and restocking. Its clean with a nice layout and atmosphere if you decide to dine in. The staff were knowledgeable on what my options were given my gluten-free dietary restrictions, and the portions are large with good value for money. My partner’s burrito was so full she struggled to wrap it up! Great service and really fresh and tasty food. Thank you for looking after us :)

I brought Gluten Free Birria Tacos and a Gluten Free Chicken Tavo from the Levin Night Markets. The Taco was much bigger than I was expecting for $9. The chicken was juicy, the salad fresh and its had lots of sauce! My pet peeve is restaurants giving minimal sauce. It was delicious! The birria Tacos were my highlight. The meat was so rich and dipping it in the broth made it even better

I had the best customer service experience ever here today. I made a mistake and ordered something with bacon despite being Muslim. Totally on me and when I went back to check the menu to see how it happened the staff were AMAZING and understanding! I can’t believe how kind they were. They resolved the issue for me without any extra cost to me and honestly I was just blown away by how amazing they were. 100% I was just dumb and there was no necessity for them to do anything but they did and I will now send every person I meet to eat here 😊 The food is amazing too. They can adjust it for gluten free and halal if you let them know. Definitely go here 👍🏻

Can't fault our experience tonight. Great atmosphere, the service was speedy, friendly, informative. FoH staff knew immediately what I could have as a coeliac. The food was excellent (my standards for this are reasonably high as an ex chef with a penchant for mexican food), and came out in good time. At $50 a head for more food than we could eat and a margarita each, I have zero complaints. Thanks for a great dinner team.
