I went here based on the other review. Sadly, the manager was on break when we went. The language barrier was difficult but our server seemed to have a little understanding about gluten. He asked me about the ingredients in the green chili sauce and if they were okay for me. In all honesty, I am a little nervous about this place! Hopefully I don’t get sick!

La Cocina has a number of gluten-free options and the gluten-free enchiladas, retried beans, and rice I had were fantastic. I have celiac and had no adverse reactions. Be sure to ask for the manager as the wait staff is not very familiar with gluten-free options or procedures but the manager is.

This showed up on the website link as a menu for York, NE, but it is a chain in NC. Wrong link on app.

As of 2022, they have changed their ingredients. The corn tortillas do contain gluten, also the beans have trace amounts. This place is near my house and I go there a lot. They do not have gluten free items listed on their menu and it is very hit or miss. Typically the chiller rellenos are safe, but probably not a whole lot else. The menu is very large though.

Talked to the owner, he was a big help in identifying and getting gluten free food.

5 star review for service, but this is a GF site, so 1 star for GF and safety for celiacs. Staff was very nice, but not even tortilla chips are safe here. Fried in the same oil as flour. I would rather them be honest than my daughter get sick, so like I said — 5 star for service. And they allowed us to bring in outside food for my daughter, so that was nice!
