CHICA

I didn’t find a lot on the menu labeled GF. I had the skirt steak without mole. Even though the steak was good, I found it disappointing to have such little choices.

Though it wasn’t marked on the menu, our server suggested ordering the burria tacos with consommé for brunch last week…so glad she did! I’ve asked about ordering those at other places a few times but have never found a gluten-free version. These were street taco sized too (so pretty small) but so tasty and filling. No reaction afterward and great service.

It is absolutely delicious. They have multiple GF items and the staff was knowledgeable. I’m non-celiac gluten sensitive so I was okay but definitely check in for cross contamination.

Not celiac friendly. A lot of things can be GF but our server said there is a risk of cross contamination because they don’t have a separate prep area

So.. I am confident about the kitchen but not about the bar. I was definitely glutened here, but I think it was the supposedly gf cocktail drink and not the food. I was currently sick a few hours after eating. Stick to wine with dinner. Also, several meats are marinated with beer but that does not appear as an ingredient in the menu. You need to ask and confirm!!

The hostess seemed knowledgeable about what menu items could be made gluten free and had me excited for the carne asada tacos. When I talked to the waitress, the chef had stated he wouldn’t be comfortable making those tacos gluten free for someone who’s very sensitive (Celiac) and instead suggested I get a salad or the quinoa with shrimp. I was pretty disappointed and would have chosen a different restaurant if I had know those were my only safe options.

The salad was fine and I didn’t get sick, so the experience was ok overall.

Amazing. Our server was extremely knowledge about what could be ordered for Celiac or how a dish could be modified. Food was beautiful and wonderful. There is not a dedicated GF frier, so nothing fried is GF.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The menu overall is limited, but they are able to do most things GF except anything that would be fried. Fun ambiance!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very flavorful!! Delicious! No dedicated fryer or gluten free menu. Server asks chef about selections to ensure gluten free but need to confirm.

So flavorful and delicious! Several gluten free options!

A few options but NO DEDICATED FRYER. The bartender/server said that if you have celiac you can’t have anything fried because the fryer is shared with gluten containing items. I had beef empanadas and they were delicious.

We went to check out the restaurant based on the rave reviews. They did ask about food allergies as we checked in! After we were seated, the server answered all of our questions after double checking with the chef. We were told that the guacamole was gluten free. We asked about a dedicated fryer. After checking with the chef, we were told that there was no dedicated fryer and the chef recommended we not eat anything fried— including the tortilla chips and plantain chips that go along with the guacamole! The server finally brought us out a chart listing menu items that contained gluten. We couldn’t figure out what was safe and the chef had no recommendations other than the guacamole alone. We left confused and disappointed. (We were there on a Saturday for an early dinner.)

Celiac friendly?

No

Fantastic place for celiacs! They asked before seating me if I had any allergies. Almost the entire menu is GF with a GF fryer also. The food was so flavorful and delicious! This place is a must try!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely AMAZING!!! Upon entry I was asked if there were any food allergies 🤗 YES! Then the waiter confirmed with the chef for all food ordered (as he was newer). The chicken, fish, and octopus and cauliflower were FANTASTIC!!! I really wanted the guacamole with gf arepas and plantain chips but we were too full! Delicious!!!!! Must come back for the guacamole! And the drinks were well worth the cost. I will definitely return!!!

very knowledgeable and helpful staff. exceptional food and fun atmosphere.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

AMAZING. AMAZING. Everything is gluten free except a few isolated items. The food was just delicious. My husband had beef and I had swordfish. Both were perfect.... just perfect! The arepas...oh, my. Service was outstanding and friendly and we had an amazing time. Great wine selection as well, with a cool vibe. Definitely check out Chica. Can't wait to go back!
