Cantina Laredo

Food, atmosphere, service are all excellent. I may have had some cross contamination following my visit. GF menu is limited, but offers interesting choices. if I don't there again without the reaction, I'll upgrade my rating. my family LOVES this place. NOT especially kid friendly. UPDATE: they now have a dedicated fryer for their starter chips and their tanleside guacomole is fantastic! Upgrading them from 3 stars to 4 immediately due to improved awareness of GF needs. Always discuss your choices with server, they can modify many dishes!

great gluten free options

They no longer have gluten free corn tortillas.

Not Celiac friendly- "gluten free" chips are fried in another frier that they dip corn-wheat blend tortillas. Very limited selection if you don't like shrimp. Not concerned with cross contamination, felt like I was bothering staff with my needs.

Update: I got the food to-go because of a sneaking suspicion of cross contamination and it was too late to cancel the order. I would rather have the consequences happen at home rather than on the drive home. Sure enough I got sick. NOT SAFE FOR CELIACS.

Celiac friendly?

No

My all time favorite restaurant. Have eaten here gluten free dozens of times and never gotten sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nice Restaurant. Good Food. Bad for me as a Celiac. I ordered one of the GF options off the menu and asked our waitress, but, in the end I still got sick. In retrospect I guess, I could have asked the waitress more questions. Disappointed.

Great food, knowledgable staff. My wife is very sensitive to gluten and has never had a problem. Been back several times.

Mickey is the owner and head chef. Gives personal care to make sure gf and plenty of options. Gone back several times. Delicious.

The staff was very knowledgeable, for example you need the pulled chicken not the grilled chicken for gluten free. They have a dedicated fryer so their table tortillas chips are safe. Ate here with no problem and it was delicious!

Great food and options. My two kids and I are all GF, and had no issues following our meal. Their menu I felt could have been more clear, but otherwise awesome! We love being able to eat chips and salsa at a restaurant. We all had chicken fajitas, but they were amazing. Would definitely recommend to others.

Things were labeled GF on menu. It was busy, but we had great service. They were patient with us asking questions and requesting certain food preparation precautions. My daughter was so happy to have GF chips that were in a dedicated fryer. She ordered the chicken fajitas with corn tortillas.

The food here is INCREDIBLE! The gluten free selection is a little small but it is still so delicious. The chips are celiac safe and the salsa and queso are amazing!
