Amazing food and excellent service. We had a range of small plates and tacos which was perfect for 2. Great range of cocktails and tequilas. Excellent gluten free options. Would highly recommend.

Very attentive to customer dietary needs… gluten Intolerant and dairy free, for example. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to address our dietary concerns and produce very tasty food!

**UPDATE: Thanks for the response below Sarah and admin team but as we saw on the reviews here, elote has been on the menu before (see attached screenshot for reference from 9 months ago; the same elote pictured and reviewed) I understand you want to make sure people feel safe eating here but as a celiac, this was a very scary event. And it wasn’t handled well I. The moment and no accountability was taken. I know that the intention is pure here, but the impact is more important. My hope is that you all take caution in the future to prevent things like this from happening and explain this explicitly to people, if you want to be viewed as a gluten free friendly place. It’s very very very important to take this allergy seriously and take care for your celiac patrons. ** ORIGINAL: Be careful if you have a Gluten Allergy. We were told confidently the chips were cross contaminated. She warned us. We thanked her and did not order them. She confidently told us that the elote was 100% GF. It came out, I ate half of it and realized it had corn chips all over it. I was so nervous. We asked her about it and she came back and didn’t acknowledge anything and said, “nope they are fine!” I stopped eating them but it was really scary. Also, if I’m honest, the food also just kind of sucks. No real flavor, all the meat tacos are dry and overcooked. My partner is not GF and said it was the same for him. That said, the vibes are cute and the drinks are good. My reco? Come here for drinks and go anywhere else for dinner.
