Elote Cafe & Catering

Misleading…the queso and guacamole are advertised as gluten free, however the chips are not (fried with everything else). When asked if we could just get chips out of the bag (not fried as she said they were) she looked at us strange and said “no we don’t do that”. So - why doesn’t the menu say the chips aren’t gluten free? Dangerous for some. Also - there was only one other table she was waiting on yet she couldn’t remember us (concerning for people with food issues) and basically ignored us, seemed genuinely irritated (my daughter is very sensitive and I could care less if my asking specifics is annoying, better than her being in pain for over a day) and it took over 45 mins to get a CUP OF SOUP. We only felt comfortable ordering that due to the lack of gluten knowledge - I won’t ever go here again and I would urge others especially celiac to stay away.

How would you rate the taste and quality of the gluten-free food you tried?

— Poor

Other Characteristics

• Good vegetarian options
• Offers outdoor seating

Two Star specific to GF aspect. BUT...Atmosphere is great! Perfect downtown feel. Service is excellent. Very helpful. However, they do not have a designated GF fryer. Because of this, a few items are labelled GF, but are not. i.e nachos, chips, and the fried taco shells. We did speak to manager about the designated fryers and he is going to mention this to the owner.

Simply fantastic and service is great as well.

Farm to table fresh meals. Many GF options -all are noted on the menu. I had a salmon taco and a beef taco. Both delicious! The staff is very accommodating. Fun atmosphere too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Some of their GF food is good but I was glutened by the nachos. It is always hard to go back to a place where you've been glutened.

the food was very good. The chips are fried in the same oil as gluten containing items so they are not safe. I had them substitute corn tortillas and didn't have an issue. I had the chicken mole and enjoyed it. I intend to return.

Food is OK at best. The menu says there are a lot of GF options but you MUST ask. I was told the nachos were GF and after eating them found out they were fried with the flour tortillas. I don't trust the food after that. Staff is not educated on what is/is not GF and I've paid for it more than once. Won't eat here again.

They were great and accommodating for celiac. They don't have gf chips as an apetizer but the food is worth the wait.
