La Huerta Mexican Restaurant

Almost nothing is safe. Chips are definitely not gluten free. I have gotten violently ill every time I’ve eaten here. Do NOT recommend.

Celiac friendly?

No

Horrible. Some of the worst food I have paid for in a restaurant. Would not recommend.

Our waiter took our order down but never came back again. Not for refills or anything. Just gone. When I asked her for a gluten free menu she looked at me as though she seriously had no clue what I was talking about. I said okay do you have a allergy free menu. She said no. The water was nasty. Had a funky taste to it. Then my tortilla soup came out and it was the worst soup I've ever had. But our waitress was no where to be found. I'm assuming it was the manager I spoke with. He had no prob. In the world to take it and asked if I wanted anything else and I said no then he said he will have it taken off my ticket immediately. And he did. We paid and left.

Has always been a favorite Mexican restaurant of mine. Their fajitas on corn tortillas are excellent.

I've had good luck with the chicken fajitas, rice and beans. I bring my own chips. They let me look at the ingredients in the fajita seasoning - it does appear to be gluten free but I will warn you it has MSG. No wonder they taste so salty (and I get a headache by the time I leave). It's just so good I can't stop eating it.

Growing up in the South meant lots of Mexican food. I started eating here when they first opened years ago and any time I am back in town it's the first place I eat! I order chicken fajitas and ask for corn tortillas instead of flour. I eat their wonderful chips and salsa as well. I tell them I have a wheat allergy and egg allergy rather than saying gluten free because they don't offer a gluten free menu. I don't think they realize, however, just how much gluten free food they have there. I have NEVER gotten sick here. Also, this place is incredibly well priced for the amount of authentic food you get! I always have so many delicious left overs. They also have a location further down the road in Springdale across from Out back Steakhouse.
