Ixtapa Mexican Restaurant

About half of the items on the menu are clearly marked as gluten free. Outstanding customer service helping me navigate the menu, ensure everything was prepared GF, and that drinks were also GF (margaritas are not). The chips and salsa served when you sit down are not gluten free as they share a fryer with non GF items.

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu

I haven’t been able to eat chips at a Mexican restaurant in years. They have a separate fryer.

Much of the menu is naturally gluten free. I had shrimp fajitas one day and the shrimp and vegetable soup another, and they both were excellent.

Only the waitress understood what Celiac and Gluten allergy was but she explained that they used corn tortillas and most items on the menu could be gluten free. The menu itself had GF on almost every item. I had the steak tacos which came with with a soft corn tortilla. I also had the beans and rice and had no issues.

Not impressed! The staff is friendly but not knowledgeable about what gluten free means. I ordered gf fajitas and told the waitress it was an allergy and she looked at me and said do you want flour or corn tortillas. Needless to say I got sick. Won't be eating here again.

Celiac friendly?

No

A lot of gluten free options! Every time the food is incredible and I have yet to get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Lists GF next to items on the menu. Very helpful! Great food as well!

I have eaten here 3 times. The only issue I had was I forgot to ask if the fries were gf and they're not, they're battered.

That said, I have never had an issue with the rice, beans , enchiladas, or tortilla chips
