Review


I went to Canteen because I was having trouble finding restaurants in the area who still had their GF options. And here are the 2 big take aways:

Pro: the waitress was very careful to warn me about what was and was not safe for a person with Celiacs, even coming back to the table to correct herself at one point.

Con: there was almost nothing a person with Celiac Disease could eat.

The chips were fried with breaded foods, and bizarre things like their RICE I was told were prepared with wheat flour. They did offer corn tacos, but many of the filings weren't gluten free.

After being told I needed to place a different order 3 times (because what I ordered actually had gluten), I finally ordered the carnitas tacos. For $9.50, I was brought two of those mini street tacos with no sides. I don't eat a lot per meal, but that was an awfully small meal even for me. At least they were good.
