Review of Crepe Haus + El Compadre

My best dining experience since my celiac diagnosis five years ago. I’ve been scared to eat out because of terrible experiences with accidental cross contamination.

The wait staff here were wonderful! They informed me about the practices they maintain to keep the restaurant safe for celiacs. They checked in on me often to make sure things were going well. There are only a few items on the menu that are not gluten free. What a difference from the usual 2-3 same choices at most restaurants!

Almost anything can be made gluten free in a separate area by cooks who are aware of cross contamination dangers.

One server told me that they have a dedicated fryer for tortilla chips and always keep a spare bag of gluten free tortilla chips on hand in case anything accidentally compromises the dedicated fryer.

The gluten free crepes are delicious and have the perfect texture. The gluten free crepe mix is used to make burritos. One of the things I’ve missed the most since going gluten free is sort, burrito-sized tortillas. El Compadre has made it possible for us to enjoy yummy burritos with that classic texture. I’m in love!

Thank you, El Compadre, for making a restaurant where I can feel safety and freedom!
