Talked to the manager about celiacs and she was confused and unsure about whether or not their chips were safe for me to eat (asked her if they were fried there, in a separate fryer, etc.). I decided I didn’t feel safe and ate my own chips that I brought. I talked to the manager again about my arroz con pollo and had her reassure me that they would use a clean pan, spoon, etc. and it is very clear within 30 minutes of me arriving home that they did not withhold their end of the deal. Would not recommend here for celiacs/gf folks

Definitely not gf/celiac friendly.
Ate here twice before early in day and they said they we're gf friendly and I didn't get contaminated. But ate once on Saturday night and had one of most severe reactions I've had in some time. Communal fryer and chips not gf. (Figure the times I didn't have symptoms were from being early in day/not used oil much yet.)
And to the person who said celiacs can't have symptoms within an hour of exposure - different people have different symptoms and different timing of onset (some within hour, some not until next day etc). I think they can tell if they had a reaction.

Columbus Lucianas said it had GF so we thought we would try the Greenwood location on the way back from Edinburg. Asked what could be done GF and he empathetically said “NO GLUTEN FREE!” Felt like he had been asked the question too often and had no intention of saying anymore. Avoid like the plague if you are celiac.
