Review of El Dorado Cantina

I saw good reviews that this place was celiac friendly but that isn't necessarily true. I called in advance to ask if the chips were gluten free and the lady said "Yes, corn chips are just corn!". I asked if they had a dedicated fryer for the chips and she hesitantly said "yes". I said are you sure? She said "yes". I said the chili rellenos and other fried items are in separate oil? She said "Yes". So I apologized for asking so many times and told her I have Celiac disease and just need to be absolutely sure! Well, she then got a pep in her voice and said she wanted to go check for sure! After a few minutes she returned and said "NO" the chips are NOT gluten free because they are fried in the same oil as their churros, breaded cinnamon sticks! Glad I asked 5 times!!!! We ended up bringing in a bag of chips, because they said I could, and they assured me of many other gf options. Almost half of the gf options had the home made chips in them and they still advertised the dish as gf. It made me wonder if the other dishes were actually gf. They were not knowledgeable enough for me to ever go back. The food was just ok anyway and I did get gluten!😞

Celiac friendly?

No
