We were so happy to stumble onto this little restaurant since my partner has Celiac Disease & the menu stated repeatedly very many items being gluten free. We told our server about the Celiac disease and asked for recommendations. Unfortunately, both the servers and the chef don’t seem to have any concept of what GF actually means but are completely reassuring until repeatedly pressed on items that were obviously not GF. There were three separate items that were served that ended up not being GF and my partner actually ate half a wheat tortilla that was brought as a substitute for other wheat flour chips. She ate half but thought It tasted too good to be GF and the server only then confirmed it was in fact wheat, but didn’t seem to understand that wheat is exactly what we need to avoid. After three separate errors, including both main dishes, and no sense that the restaurant understood how to provide a safe meal for us, we needed to leave and head home ASAP waiting to see how bad the gluten contamination effects would be. We have never before sent food back and would have loved to try what looked to be very tasty food. If we could ever be convinced this was safe for people with Celiac Disease we would love to try again sometime.

The food was so good! Juicy (gluten-free!) tacos with chicken filling. The staff was super kind too! Good price-quality ratio.
