Border Cafe

No gluten free menu and no items notated as gluten free. I have had the chicken fajitas with corn tortillas (substitute - they automatically serve flour tortillas), white rice and black beans. Also had the blackened salmon with white rice and black beans. Jose/house rice and steak fajitas (steak marinade) are not GF safe.

I ate here this Saturday staff is very knowledgeable about items and marinades. There are corn tortillas and chicken and shrimp items that are done in gluten free marinade. I was told the corn tortillas are warmed on same cooktop as flour so they are aware and careful but there is some cross contamination. I am celiac and had no adverse effects last night. I would recommend but be cautious about asking about preparation but I was happy about the knowledge of celiac and the manager came to my table to explain how things are prepared. Overall I would recommend

Friend wanted to meet here so I called ahead. Guy who answered phone said NO gf menu but servers could direct diners to what could possibly be made gf. Called back the next day and spoke to Phil. He said that they have very few GF options and that ALL his proteins are cooked on the same woodfire grill surface so there is always cross contamination. Not at all celiac friendly!

Celiac friendly?

No

Me and my family love the border cafe! We have gone there many times and I have never gotten sick! They have lots of options, and are always super helpful! I would definitely recommend!

I was told by the manager that they could not serve me a safe gluten free meal for celiac. Although chips are made in one fryer each day the fryers are rotated. He said that they could serve gf but cross contact was a possibility. I really appreciated his honesty.

They are always good here. The staff is friendly and understands. They often consult the chef if not certain about an ingredient. My sister and I haven't had any issues here.

Offers gf menu items. Does specify possible cross contamination. Our waiter was very courteous, willing to check on gf choices if not certain of.
