Delicious food and a great view of Cotton Tree beach. Almost the entire menu is gluten free as corn flour is traditional Mexican. We had the best crumbed calamari in town, as well as delish breadfruit and shrimp avo Mango salad. Yummmm

Had lunch here with a group of friends (one of which is coeliac). Was a very nice lunch and the food was delicious! We had a variety of tacos, drinks and corn chips. Made for a great lunch on the coast with good gf options. Thanks!

We were with the 5 of us including 2 children of which 1 has celiac disease and I'm intolerant to gluten. Waiter was not sure about gluten free food and he had to check in the kitchen. On the menus it states that some dishes are GF and others might be accommodated. I wasn't very happy that the waiter wasn't familiar with the menu, what are waiters for !!! Other parties at the table experienced this waiter as insecure and didn't want the celiac meal go wrong. I asked for a GF fish taco. I child was still very hungry, she had a very poor small children's meal and wanted to go home to eat. Of the 5 people , 2 were very happy with their beef nachos. And IF I ever visit again I would certainly order that.
Once we got the receipt I noticed that my fish taco wasn't GF. I went over to the waiter who said he was sorry and he had misunderstood. Admittedly his English wasn't very good.
