El Camino

Ate here last night- had a scratch maragarita, the verde chicken enchiladas with rice and black beans and the beet salad. The enchiladas were pretty good, the margarita was excellent, but the salad could have been fresher and was not very delicious. The fryer is GF, according to the server, so I ate the chips, and I’m doing okay. The communication was weird/unclear about cross contamination and I was a bit nervous but it was fine. The server assured me he would communicate with kitchen. I would go back but I would definitely ask all the questions again of a new server to get more reassurance. Cute place, by the way. Great atmosphere, outdoor seating, and right in adorable downtown Fremont.

Food is good and I don’t recall ever having any issues eating here over the years. Love the plantains instead of chips.

Super fresh and delicious and huge portion and good value.

Celiac friendly?

Good Mexican food, but nothing special.

This is my favorite Mexican place. The steak tacos (with corn tortillas) is my favorite. Also- the plantain chips with guacamole is amazing!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was looking forward to coming here but was beyond disappointed. Not one person could tell me what was gluten free or not. After 3 conversations with servers and misc workers I ordered nothing and ended up leaving. Wasted an hour sitting there.

Celiac friendly?

one of the best mexican restaurants in the seattle area. like most mexican there are a ton of gf options but here they make their quesadillas with corn tortillas!! i was so excited and though it was smaller than a traditional quesadilla it was delicious. margaritas are superb.
