Abuelo's

Came here a few years ago and loved the food. I was very disappointed this time. While they had a section of the menu for gluten free items, it was a small section. I was looking forward to authentic Mexican food, and that is not what I got at all. Was not crazy about the food

The staff was knowledgeable and helpful. As soon as the waiter knew I was gluten-free, she started preparing the gluten-free chip option (not listed on the gluten-free menu), and the salsas and dips are so good! The bacon-scallop fajitas and sangria are amazing!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve come here twice with a family of four, we are all gluten free, but I’m the only one who is intolerant. I’ve never had bad food, and our service was very polite. I cannot say if there is cross contamination but I’ve never had any major discomforts. It’s TexMex, but it’s still good.

My server had no idea what gluten was. They do have a gluten sensitive menu but it is very limited. No chicken or steak at all. They did offer me baked corn chips since the fried chips use the same as the flour but they are horrible. No taste at all, not even salted, and they are chewy.

Servers are unaware of what ingredients are in the food. GF menu is very small. No chicken, sour cream or guacamole listed on GF menu... mostly greasy options covered in cheese. They were not sure if the nachos were corn or not. Not worth it go elsewhere.

Celiac friendly?

No

There is a separate gluten sensitive corner on the menu with enough choices. And I couldn’t choose and the chef made a surprise dinner for me. Super tasteful and super nice. 10/10. Can I move this restaurant to the Netherlands? ;-)

I got the shrimp fajita salad without cheese. It was excellent. Will be returning.

My husband and I eat here regularly. They have a gluten sensitive menu. There is no dedicated fryer, but they will bring you baked chips. Only one of the salasas (green) is gluten free. Portions are huge and we always have left overs. Staff is always nice.

The other reviews are incorrect- you ask for gluten free chips. They have a gluten free section of the menu with about eight items.

This place has a limited gluten “sensitive” list on their menu. Mexican food tends to be naturally gluten free, so I was surprised it was such a small list. But, it was tasty. Chips probably are CC, we didn’t ask (husband with celiac didn’t eat them).
