This place is authentic!!! AMAZING food. I loved it. The one issue I did have was the language barrier. I KNEW that they had gluten free food, because I called ahead-due to my daughter having celiac. When we arrived however, our waiter barely spoke english. The situation did get resolved because a very nice waiter who better understood my concerns was able to assist me with my daughter. I ordered the fajitas!! DELISH!!!!!! And my daughter had the corn tortillas with steak. She didn't trust the corn tortillas (due to them not indicating GF on the menu), however she did eat the steak and did not get sick. I loved the food, the atmosphere and the service!! Everything was so flavourful. Would definitely go back if I didn't live in Canada! :-)

We stopped here for dinner after visiting Presque Isle before heading back to Buffalo. Many gluten free options for my wife with celiac disease. She opted for the chicken enchiladas with burrito sauce and a double side of Spanish rice, server was very friendly and knowledgeable about gluten and cross contamination, no issues for her afterwards. I went with the El Canelo street tacos and got one of each of the meats, all of which were fantastic, the sauce was pretty spicy to my liking.
