Review


I had a similar situation where the first time I went after being diagnosed, the waitress seemed to understand the severity of celiac disease and cross contamination. I was totally fine. The next time I went I had ordered fajitas with corn tortillas. I always say that I have celiac disease and ask if it’s safe. I had questioned if they were actually corn and not flour and I was just told “yep”. As I was half way through my meal and eating the side with sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce, there were French fries at the bottom of the plate. First of all, that’s just gross because how am I supposed to know if it’s old or accidentally fell on the plate. I had asked if they had a dedicated fryer which they don’t. So the manager came over and basically said the kitchen is not safe, it’s not always cleaned or separated for this allergy. I was out with my fiancée and they only comped my meal which we had to promptly leave as I knew I was going to get sick.

Celiac friendly?
