Chicali Cantina

Lovely food--"standard" options with Actual flavor! Not a "standard" taste. And some unique items that you don't usually see in a small strip mall spot. They actually do Flavor, just repeating that! We had an option for the happy hour menu, but chose the dinner menu,--good happy hour options though. Heads up, the iced tea is a little floral (my guess is jasmine, but I liked it) & you have to request chips/salsa, BUT they come with 3 unique salsas (salsa flight--you can sub) & fresh hot chips. Maybe I'm easy to please? :) I loved the vegetarian & gluten free options. I'm a diagnosed celiac and have no problems. Everyone is unique, but I had no issues. Ask about options & confirm sauces are gf also. Very good servers who knew the menu well--just ask. Busy on the weekends. Margaritas looked great, but I'm not much of a drinker. My partner enjoyed their drinks though.

Excellent food. Great drinks. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I'm celiac and they were very understanding and accommodating. Their chips are not gluten free but they were happy to allow me to bring in a bag of chips to eat salsa and guac. Edit: didn't know how to respond to your response. Yes I The server didn't know the oil is separate but was happy to let me bring in my own chips which was awesome. I would love to visit you again. However I will have to request cross contamination be monitored better next time. But I appreciate you trying your best and caring about the celiac life. Thank you!
