Lupe Tortilla

Had been going to Lupe on and off, but today I had a great waitress who went the extra mile to ensure we didn’t get cross contaminated. Sadly, they dry their chips in the same fryer as other gluten items. Additionally, the tortilla press used for corn tortillas is also used for flour. So your options are much more limited on the menu. Even then, they use a shared grill for many items. Maybe safe for sensitive folks but not for celiac. They do label the menu with items that cannot be made gluten free but failed to recognized cross-contamination makes most of their meals unsafe.

All items on menu are gluten free, except a few that are marked with a gluten symbol. Best fajitas in Texas. I’m celiac, and this is my main drag for anything Mexican. Thank you so much. Stay G-Free Lupe :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Veggie fajitas were great! Lots of gf choices.

The menu is clearly labeled as far as what has gluten that cannot be removed. Be aware that the corn tortillas are made on the same press as he flour and the chips are fried in a shared fryer. The fajitas with no tortillas were excellent!

Celiac friendly?

No

Manager took us to our table explaining kitchen and cross contamination. They make their own corn tortillas. Have dedicated gf area in kitchen so it's not 100% safe. Had the signature chicken lupe and corn tortillas and they were delicious and i did not have issues after dinner. Server Steven was celiac and very helpful. Outdoor patio with fire pits look like they could be fun in the fall. Menu clearly marked. My vegan-dairy allergy guest did not have as much to choose from. Atmosphere is stereotypical mexican fiesta but areas were clean and well maintained. Restrooms were clean.

Excellent options!

Large GF menu!

They had a dedicated fryer for chips. Waitress wasn’t sure but then went back and confirmed from the kitchen that did. Food was good. Didn’t get sick.

This is the original Lupe’s! It’s my family’s and my fav tex-mex since I was born basically. When diagnosed I felt so discouraged I wouldn’t be able to eat here, and the level of safety but I’ve made alternative options to be able to eat here safely and have the amazing margs! 1. I bring my own chips in my purse (I get an extra salsa to dip or a spoon for queso/gauc and my family is great about putting it on their plate so no CC) 2. I heat and bring my own corn tortillas in foil in my purse. (Note: they have lettuce cups and corn tortillas but they aren’t the safest - they try their best to clean the grill but I am extremely sensitive). 3. I get the mixed fajitas and they are safe! I make my tacos first before the rest of my family and all is well!

I know this is extra and sometimes not the most convenient but as my family’s local amazing mexican restaurant I make the time to feel safe. Celiac is not easy but never feel discouraged!
