We had the daily dip appetizer, Pollo Puerano and Taquitos de carnitas, all gluten free due to gluten allergy. Everything was presented perfectly and very flavorful. We had a gluten free dessert that was to die for! We highly recommend this restaurant and plan to return soon. Thank you, Eva, for your excellent service and friendly personality!
