Great food, quite spicy, but very very tasty. Staff and owner bend over backwards to be friendly and helpful. Great experience. And the true gluten free environment let's my whole family eat without worry of contamination - a big deal for gluten intolerant folks.

Vegetarian options: Many vegan options, too.

Dietary restrictions: Strictly and completely gluten free.

Great food. Unique twist to tacos. Very flavorful. Menu has expanded quite a bit compared to when they started out. Some great additions to the menu. Biased towards BlackMagic tacos and twisted garlic street corn. Great place for Veg, Vegan, and now Gluten Free.

Vegetarian options: All vegetarian!

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten Free
