Review of Loco Fenway

Exercise extreme caution eating here!! Almost their entire menu is gluten free but I believe for this very reason, many of the staff don’t actually know that their standard cookware is NOT safe for people with celiac because it is shared with their quesadillas.

I came to eat here and our server assured me that I should feel very safe about GF and that their fryer didn’t have cross-contamination. However I was glutened worse than I’ve ever been before and was quite sick within a few hours. I called the restaurant the next day and they apologized and said that they DO have separate cookware for people with gluten intolerances/allergies/celiac, but if my order was not flagged for a gluten allergy (which it must not have been, because I didn’t ask our server to put a “celiac” note on my order) then my tacos had probably been cooked on the same cookware as their flour quesadillas. Such a bummer because the food was good.

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?

— Not at all
