The waitress wasn’t sure about what items were gluten free, but she was able to bring out an allergen chart so I could double check that what I wanted to order was gluten free.

Really good food. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu. She told us that it's easier to tell us what isn't GF since mist things on the menu are. They make a really good guacamole at your table. And yummy enchiladas, I don't always get to eat enchiladas and these were so good. No reactions either.

Waiter was very confused by my telling him I was celiac and needed GF. I ended up ordering carne asada street tacos and black beans and had no reaction. I’ll be back but I hope the next server is better educated.
Friendly Staff is willing to answer questions. They use a dedicated fryer for chips. Their guac is amazing. If you ask, your server can provide a spreadsheet off their menu items and allergens they contain.

Love eating here! So many gf choices! The guacamole is delicious!

Great unique Southwestern Mexican food. Ask servers to verify which entrees are gluten-free. For example, the carne asada is soaked in beer so server confirmed any of the dishes with it are NOT gluten-free.

Barrio Queen management and kitchen staff please please please educate your staff on the different types of allergies. While our waiter was very nice, he fully admitted to not knowing what gluten was. I was very happy he was immediate to ask about allergies and inform the table that the dedicated fryer was down for the chips so they were cross contaminated for people with gluten allergies. The food is the reason this review is getting three stars instead of less. It was tasty and everything was served in corn tortillas. BUT...when asked to clarify the menu because there was no dedicated gluten sensitive menu or tags on the regular menu, the waiter went to the manager instead of the chef. Last time I checked, the chef is the expert of what is in the food, including hidden sources of gluten. Finally, what is happy about happy hour ending at 5pm? Nobody even gets off work before then, but I understand sometimes happy hour is used to draw people in during slower times. Overall, the experience was decent but not something to ride home about, or even leave this diner wanting to return unless some changes were made.

Physically walked back to let them know
He was absolutely helpful and took the time to know what I COULD have, rather than rush me into ordering something I’d be nervous about.
