Went on a warm Monday night and got a seat on the patio right away. I have Celiac disease and am always nervous to eat at new restaurants. By chance, our server Kara is also a Celiac, which literally made my night 100% better! She walked me through the whole menu and assured me she would follow up with the kitchen to make sure Celiac protocols were followed. My husband and I each had 2 tacos and a margarita, all delicious! Mine were on gluten free corn tortillas and I felt like I could actually relax and eat my food without worry, which is super rare when I’m always concerned about cross contamination when eating at a non-gluten free restaurant. Thank you Kara for taking the time for a fellow Celiac, even though you also had a massive 20 person party to also serve!

Visiting from Vancouver and came for lunch… Kara was an amazing server! I have celiac and can’t have gluten - Kara completely understood and was able to help me with the menu and was knowledgeable cross-contamination issues etc. I felt super safe eating here and had 3 different tacos. Thank you Kara for a great experience :)
