El Chico

Always excellent service. I’ve never gotten sick there and we have gone weekly-monthly for years. Skinny ‘ritas and shrimp tacos are my favorite but also the Fajita Nachos, queso (without meat), and fajitas are all great. More can be made with small adjustments, like Fiesta Nachos with steak instead of chili.

food tastes very considerably. My daughter and I had the same fajitas but one was fairly good the other pretty bad. there is no separate fryer for the chips, so although label gluten-free they are not. we all asked for corn tortillas, but one was wheat and it was given to my Celiac husband. Luckily we caught it before he ate it.

Celiac friendly?

No

Lived in New Mexico for 20 years. This is the 1st decent salsa I've had in Florida. Ask for medium salsa. Joe is very attentive and made extra effort for dietary limitations.

Very good! I'm straight up celiac and no problemo.

They list their chips as gluten free on the menu, but they are not safe. They are fried in the same fryer as the sopaillas, a wheat based pastry. The staff seemed to think they were still safe for celiacs. We won't eat there again.

Staff will make changes to menu items to make them gluten free upon request.

I don’t think I’ve written a review since 1973… but after your Dale Carnegie explanation (well done, sir!). THEN the fact I did not know what gluten was for 30 years got me a criminal misdiagnosis (T4 - for EARLY stage Hashi’s with NO symptoms) by my Doctor Sexter... IN 2001!! Thus NOW my Golden DREAM years are delayed, maybe in jeopardy? Bottom line: Sorry, I do not EVER buy iOS apps. I AM Generation X..! it saddens me how kids don’t know telephones were once for making calls’ BUT, there is NO doubt this same “tech” has infinite capability for good. SO??Personally I hope you manage the app on a BEACH in Thailand for 2 hours / day, MAX… I AM serious!!TWO! Hold the line brother… P.S. El Chico is of course a large, chain Mexi Restaurant and it is NOT bad. The 21st location in Tulsa, OK is a great lunch spot. It’s been awhile - so I’m due and eager to check out their GF menu! MUCH THX,, -TIII P.S.S. I realize I have not actually reviewed the GF food. But a good friend I once met here damn near weekly, & ya couldn’t wrong!

This is one of our very favorite restaurants. My wife can't eat gluten and she's never had a problem with the chips. The white queso has gluten. The yellow is gluten free. Other than that, if you can't eat gluten, you know what to do from there.

Pro tip: ask for relish and corn tortillas. The relish consists of pickled onions, peppers and jalapeños. The corn tortillas are steamed and they're free as are , of course, the chips and salsa.
