Review of Elote Mexican Kitchen

So I have eaten here for years but I had a pretty disappointing experience tonight. I recently got a Nima gluten sensor and decided to try it out. I tested the Elote Special (negative for gluten) and the Mahi Mahi tacos, they tested positive for gluten - twice. I’d never had the Mahi Mahi tacos before. I told management while I was there and they replaced my meal, thinking the tortillas were not the gf option. Our waiter was very apologetic. I took the replacement home and tested the Mahi again and it came back positive, again. I also at the chips and salsa and I definitely didn’t feel good once I got home.

I did call them to let them know but they weren’t very apologetic. They simply said they keep things separate, and that the Mahi Mahi comes packaged so it isn’t even cut there. They also said none of their other customers that eat gluten free have had a reaction but everyone has various levels of sensitivity. I’m very reactive. I told them they need to check with their suppliers if that’s the case.

I’m really upset because this is supposed to be a safe place for people with gluten sensitivities to eat but I didn’t even feel like they cared.

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?

— Not very

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu
