Review of Cactus Cantina

3300 Wisconsin Ave NW, Washington, DC 20016

Overall Rating

Review


Would not recommend for people who need to avoid gluten. Real Mexican food is predominantly gluten free naturally. Most of the meats here are apparently marinaded in some kind of gluten containing sauce, so you’re not safe just swapping in corn tortillas. I had a salad with no protein and used salsa as the dressing, as well as a few of the chips. The server said I would be fine, but apparently he’s not well trained on gluten. By the time I got home my stomach was bloated and not feeling well at all. My husband, who does eat gluten, was unimpressed with his food and didn’t want to go back either.
