Love this place! Great GF options & they will bring you non cross-contaminated chips if you ask. I informed my waiter of my allergy and he was very knowledgeable and accommodating. I ordered the chicken tacos and they were delicious!

They knew from my reservation about my celiac dx, and had gluten free chips already in their fryer. The waitress was knowledgeable about cross contamination without being asked, wonderful experience.

Have been to Besito many times and have always had a safe and delicious meal. Waitstaff and kitchen are knowledgeable. Separate fryer for chips to insure no cross contamination.

If you ask for GF chips, they will use a separate fryer. Disappointed that there was no GF info on the menu. Food was ok but very overpriced!

Good food. Terrible service. I had to ask for every but of service that we received. Water, drinks, clearing the table, and the check. About 2 hours for lunch?

Review


Fantastic experience! My little guy is anaphylactic to wheat and they made us aware that normally they have GF tortilla chips but that week their fryer was broken so they didn’t have GF ones. She also made my son a quesadilla and made a sure everything was properly cleaned as to prevent any cross contamination. He ate his quesadilla and loved it! Between the manager and the waitress they really went out of their way to make our dining experience wonderful!

Great place, menu clearly marked with GF items. They told us up front that the chips could have cross contamination so they brought a basket of chips that were safe.
