Fred's Mexican Cafe

The waitstaff knew nothing and the manager told us “we’ll discuss when you get seated” when I asked about gluten free options.

Corn chips have their own fryer! Most tacos can be made GF by swapping flour tortilla for a corn one. I ordered the nachos, they were not very good but I didn’t get glutened!

Love this place but when you order don't forget to ask for corn tortillas.

The menu had very few options and the staff did not understand what gluten free is. Not celiac friendly either

Celiac friendly?

No

people we're helpful and the gf menu was informative and decently sized like most mexican restaurants. I would go again.

Really wanted tacos tonight, but the Mexicali salad with shrimp was the best GF option and it was delicious and HUGE!

Knowledgeable about gluten and celiacs but wouldn’t recommend due to lax of options. They recommended the tacos which from previous reviews that seem to be there go to for us celiacs. I ended up with 2 small corn tortillas with chicken and lettuce with a side of beans. I didn’t get sick so in the end was happy!

We inquired at the hostess stand about GF and were told that tacos were the best option. Our first waitress said the same thing. Then another waiter was helping us and offered a GF menu. Indeed, the choice were tacos and a couple of salads. The food was good and we would return. A sign said they were short-staffed, so be sure that your needs are communicated!

I had the Cajun shrimp and mahi mahi tacos, exceptional taste & no contamination. Chips, salsa and queso were also gf. Great margaritas and enjoyable experience.

I ordered enchiladas which say they are made with corn tortillas on the menu. Also verified with the waitress when ordering. The waitress was not knowledgeable about gluten allergies and I had to ask other staff members questions about what foods were “safe” to eat. I was extremely sick within 2 hours of eating there. Would not recommend going here if you’re intolerant, and especially if you’re celiac.
