"I ate here a few years ago and decided to return with a new group of friends. I was excited by the gluten-free menu online, but when I got to the restaurant the host told me they don 't have anything marked on their physical menus, but my server would be able to answer any questions. Server confirmed they make gluten-free items separately, so we got chips and salsa for the table, I ordered the brisket quesadilla and my partner ordered the burrito from the gluten free menu. Our server did inform us that the burrito could only be served in a bowl as the gluten free tortilla can 't be wrapped like a burrito. They didn 't announce anything as being gluten free when the items arrived and I had to ask about each item. Good thing I double checked because when we got a refill on the chips they were not gluten free and had to be sent back. I was also disappointed that the gluten-free menu is lumped in with the vegan and vegetarian menu so you have to read carefully what is actually gluten free. The menu also doesn 't list any details for the quesedilla and it came with really spicy sauce that got all over the plate, wish that had been on the menu description so I could have asked for that to be omitted, as it got on half the quesadilla. We also felt really rushed towards the end of our meal, our server did not seem pleased to offer us refills on the chips and was in a hurry to get us the check (even though the place was not packed, and the place has a chill vibe encouraging people to drink and socialize. I wish this place lived up to my expectations set by other reviewers. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options"
