Leal's Mexican Restaurant

We went for dinner. My daughter ate off of the gluten free menu which is limited. Everything shares a fryer even the chips. She didn't get sick though. Cross contamination is a risk here for sure. She ate the chips,salsa,rice beans and taco meat. She liked it. Not sure if we will be back though.

UPDATE!! My daughter has been unwell all day. Headache, low grade fever, stomach ache, super tired. So we will not be going back..

We had an excellent waiter who doublechecked anything I had questions about. I chose the combo fajitas with corn tortillas. They came out with what looked like deep fried potato slices.Our waiter immediately took the plate back to the kitchen. Soon the manager returned with a steaming hot platter of delicious fajitas.

They have a list of GF items. The manager made my daughter’s food to reduce the risk of cross contact.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This was a delicious restaurant. They had a Gluten Free paper but I would be careful because it says their nachos and tacos are gluten free, but both are fried in grease with gluten items. I knew what to look for and the staff answered all my questions. They did mention they are working on creating a gluten free menu. Great experience and I plan on going back for sure.

Excellent Mexican food. They don't have a real gluten-free menu but do have a gluten-free list, some staff are knowledgeable, but all seem willing to help you find what is appropriate and safe to eat.
