We had an amazing experience on Wed, 3/19/25, with server Max. It did take a bit of time to get items, like the table side guacamole. Our cart sat while he attended other tables before he made our guac. I asked if the tortilla chips were fried in a seperate or shared fryer. He immediately asked "do you have Celiac?". I do & he made sure everything was safe for me. I really appreciated that, I never felt like I was a bother because of my Celiac. The food & drinks were delicious, though on the pricier side. Max was very personable, he made the experience so great.

We waited 45min for party of 4 to actually be sat inside for walk-in even though requested outside seating. Had to ask for server to order food cause we may have been forgotten. Food was good although gluten tortillas debatable. Recommend if you can sit outside

What a unique spot!! The smells and beautiful pastries that greet you when you open the door are such a treat!! Unfortunately- no gf options and cross contamination would be an issue. But everyone who can eat gluten said their pastries were the best! Coffee was super good.

The food was okay and I am super grateful for vegan and gluten free places because I can’t eat out without them. I however think they charged way too much for what we got and it should have had more veggies on the tacos at least cilantro tomato spinach. There was none on mine. I was not highly impressed especially for what I paid for 2 people spent $80 with tip! I didn’t take pictures but I should have

My husband and I ate here for our 15 yr anniversary. We both had steak. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. Juicy and delicious. We both had the red potatoes and veggies. Everything was great. My husband had the ice cream dessert and I had the key lime. Both were mouth watering. I have a gluten sensitivity and the waitress was very helpful with those modifications. I drank a prickly pear margarita and it was delicious. 100% recommend!

A quick stop for quality, traditional Mexican food. The flavors and service are always solid. Gluten Free options, but if you have Celiac cross-contact concerns, take all usual care & precautions. I've not had a reaction.
