El Camino Real Mexican Restaurant

Don’t waste your time coming here. This was a family favorite of mine growing up so my family and I came here again after I got diagnosed. Thinking it would be safe. I told them I have celiac disease or a “gluten allergy”, “wheat allergy” and they looked at me like they didn’t really understand. I asked if they fried anything with flour in their fryer. They said yes. They tried to offer me other stuff but I just didn’t feel safe knowing they didn’t really understand what I was allergic to.

I asked to cancel the order I had put in (I ordered nachos when they initially told me their fryer was safe then later took it back and said it wasn’t l). They brought me my nachos anyway. And sitting right on top was a fried FLOUR tortilla bowl holding guac, sour cream, etc.
