Javelina Cantina

Server was knowledgeable about gluten free items, but I still got very sick after eating there. I’m not celiac, minor cross contact generally doesn’t bother me, so this must have been a major exposure.

Asked the waiter about if meat and chips are gluten free, he was very helpful in informing me that anything you get here will be cross contaminated, so not safe for celiacs. Rice, chips and meat, all cooked together and no separate fryers/grills. Be aware if coming here.

Other Characteristics

• Good for breakfast/brunch
• Good for takeout

Very large portions! Ask for a gluten free menu and normal menu when you speak to the hostess. The gluten free menu is an allergen list so you’ll need to compare against the normal menu. You do have to be very clear in your allergies and modify the food, but I’ve been here 6 or 7 times without problem. Don’t eat anything fried if you have celiacs as there is no dedicated fryer. I bring my own chips so I can still have chips and salsa. Their enchiladas are excellent as are their tacos. Enchiladas you have to modify with tomatillo salsa on top.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
