My chicken chiabatta sandwich was a bit dry and the food selection was limited, but they did have substantial gluten free options. The setting and staff were very nice, making it an overall excellent experience.

Everything is gluten free which was amazing, I didn't have to worry about only getting to choose from two items on the menu. The salsa options were a bit odd, there was a cheese/yogurt type dip among the four they give you and it just didn't fit with the Latino flavors well, it was more Mediterranean in taste. Definitely pricier for how much food you get but the chips are a free refill. When I asked about diet pop options I was told they didn't have any but they have what appeared to be a full bar with a fountain pop sprayer (which normally would have at least one diet option). The only thing I could have to drink was water there (I'm a type one diabetic and regular pop is a bad situation).

We were very saddened and disheartened to find that this restaurant no longer offers a gluten-free menu or are gluten-free fryer. If you are like us and came here regularly for gluten safe tasty food, they no longer have the menu or gluten-free frier.fries. very disappointed.

I used to get meals from here weekly when I lived in the state. I have been gone almost 5 years now and came back for a visit. I like staying on track so I stopped by. The service was the same phenomenal service as before. The choices felt as if they were endless. I’m both gluten and dairy free & it was amazing to have more than two choices. I’ve already tried the much recommended bison burger bowl & I loved it. The flavor profile was totally there. I can’t wait to try my other meals.

I really enjoy this patio that is dog-friendly. The atmosphere is great, and they have a variety of vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian options. The margarita is particularly impressive.

Panchero’s is a never fail choice. Had a cousin here from Minnesota who is gluten intolerant….. she ordered the burrito bowl instead of a burrito and was able to forego the bread!

Pretty good place to eat. Decent food, although a small menu. Only fault is no "corn" tortillas which would be for gluten free people. OK prices. But, excellent staff and good food.

I don't often write review, but Gyro hut deserves one! They are fantastic at customer service. Each time I go, they are so attentive and work so hard to make sure you are happy. One of my employees is very allergic to gluten, they order special shells for her, and also wipe the surfaces before making her food. They are good people and have great food. That's why it's one of my favorite places!

Great first visit…this is my new go-to Mexican place. Nice staff, delicious, fresh ingredients and reliable gluten free tacos if you order with a corn tortilla. Full array of drinks and a nice, clean, updated interior. I was pleasantly surprised - this is not your typical taco or Mexican place. Highly recommend!

Just had Rico’s for the first time and it was DELICIOUS. The chips and salsa were my favorite. I have a gluten allergy, so they made sure to keep everything separate and gluten free for me. The guy who took my order was SO welcoming and so nice. Will definitely be back!
