Came here because it was the only other place that had Gluten Free items besides a pizza joint. I ordered the Gf enchilada plate and it was great, I did not get sick! The food also came out very fast. I believe you have to order it Gf because I was served black beans instead of the normal pinto refried beans. Beware of the tortilla chips, the waiter told me that they are fried with other items.

I recently dined at this restaurant and had a disappointing experience. To start, I ordered a club soda with vodka but was given a cup of Coke instead. When I informed the waiter about my milk allergy, she seemed confused and asked if I needed gluten-free options instead. After clarifying, I opted for the fajitas, verifying that the meat was cooked with oil, not butter. Unfortunately, the meal arrived with sour cream despite my allergy, though I managed to avoid it since it was on the side. However, the meat tasted like butter. When I requested a manager, they confirmed that the meat did indeed contain butter. While the manager was apologetic and eventually brought me a new, safe plate, the lack of attention to my allergy was concerning. The restaurant needs to improve its staff training on handling food allergies to avoid such issues in the future.

Very cool, welcoming, and enjoyable authentic Mexican restaurant!!! Food was AMAZING both my boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals! He had the outrageous chimichanga and I had the gluten free chicken and sour cream enchilada. We searched very hard to find a place I can eat at being gluten free and this place was a home run for us! Our server Darwin was super nice, tentative, and really made our experience that much more enjoyable!! The restaurant itself is decorated very authentic which we appreciate a lot. Parking lot was a bit packed and I would highly recommend walking if possible (which is what we did). We will definitely be coming back during our time in Gatlinburg :) we are happy to have found a place that is worth coming back to!
