La Casa Del Tamal

Lots of GF options including quesadillas and enchiladas (both on 14" corn tortillas by default). Nothing labeled on menu but staff knowledgeable. Food is prepared on a shared grill space. Food was delicious.

Absolutely delicious and the staff was knowledgeable. We got birria tacos for takeout and the person handling it let us know that the birria is basically the safest option for celiacs because they do such a high volume of birria that they have a separate stove to cook those. Everything but tortas and some stuff from the kids menu is gluten free. Looking at the kids menu, I’d probably avoid the fries.

Update: I have been eating here nearly weekly and I have NEVER gotten sick, but I only order the birria.

Update 6/23/23: I read another review that said that things were no longer gluten free so I asked next time I went. Staff was very knowledgeable, knew what was gluten free and what was safe and what wasn’t. I was told that flour and corn tortillas are used in separate areas of the kitchen and the chips are made in house in a gluten free frier. Did not get sick.

They've remodeled recently. Was told that nothing is gluten free any longer as all tortillas (corn & regular) are all cooked on the same grill. Originally I was told the birria tacos were cooked in a separate part of the kitchen so that they were safe. Was also told the chips and salsa aren't safe as they fry things with gluten in the fryer as well. Will miss this place, sad they no longer work for those with Celiac.

The staff was very friendly & knowledgeable about what is gluten free when I asked, which includes most of the menu. But similar to a previous review, he said Birria is probably the safest. I ended up getting the Quesa-Tacos, which were very tasty.

Food was fantastic and while they don't have a GF menu, almost their entire menu is GF. Steer clear of their tortas and you will be good. Their quesadillas are done on corn shells as well.

Everything on the menu is gluten-free, except for one of the kids' meals (flour tortillas). Never gotten sick, and great-tasting food.
