Joann's Fine Foods

The menu isn’t marked but there were multiple gluten free options. I let my server know I had to be GF and DF. She asked about severity of reaction, whether cross contamination is an issue for me (yes - celiac), and was very helpful suggesting options. They swapped out salad dressings and made other accommodations for me. The corn tortillas aren’t safe - they’re made and cooked with flour tortillas- but there were other choices. I didn’t get sick. As a native Texan, I considered the food to be so-so for TexMex.

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

— Average

Nothing marked on the menu, server didn’t know what gluten free meant, and most items contain some element of bread/fried food. They advertise having corn or wheat tortillas, but I assume the production area is shared. I was able to confirm that the fryer is also shared.

It was not a bad service experience, it was simply clear that we’d have a beverage and leave to eat at a “tried and true” spot in Austin.

Wouldn’t recommend… the waitress was really rude when I asked if there was any gluten free options/menu and said “isn’t it basically just wheat?” The tacos with corn tortillas looked safe but they tasted really bland and my stomach wasn’t feeling great later on. Pretty sure the tortilla chips aren’t gluten free either.
