The food is incredible. Very tasty. I tried it for the first time a month ago and liked it so much, went back a week later. I don’t remember if the menu was clearly marked with GF next to item. But I did ask the server and he was very knowledgeable and was a big help. However my allergy is mild so a little cross contamination doesn’t make me sick.

Ordered delivery and the order was wrong, what they sent was not what we ordered. Called to get it fixed and they said there's nothing they can do about it because they're closed. Now it's too late to order anything else that would be celiac safe. Ruined my night!

Fantastic experience! A bit pricey, but will eat here again.

Our waiter knew about GF options, but was not aware about their fryer. He graciously got the manager to answer my questions. Manager was aware of cross contam.

Menu is almost entirely gluten free--including all their sauces. It is clearly marked with a wheat symbol for items that contain wheat. (They're mostly burritos.)

BEWARE 1: there is NO dedicated fryer for chips, but flautas are fried in a different (separate) fryer. Manager verified. She did not explicitly state no glutenous items were fried in this separate fryer, but she definitely stated glutenous items are fried in the chip fryer. I bet it has to do with the size of the fryer (chips fried often; flautas not often, but maybe they're keeping fried meats separate--pure speculation).

BEWARE 2: Photo attached. I am going to leave feedback with the store, but after the manager left, we noticed that the "Brunch" area of the menu had no wheat symbols, but "flour tortillas" and pancakes were clearly listed.

Tried this place for the first time this past weekend. Our server was knowledgeable about gluten/allergies and confirmed for me that almost everything on the menu was safe, unless it was marked with a wheat symbol. Unfortunately, their chips are not gf though due to the use of a shared fryer. I was surprised by this, because they seem to be so gluten friendly. Overall, lots of options to choose from and I didn’t get sick from my meal. It was so nice to have cheese enchiladas again! Will definitely be back the next time I have a Tex Mex craving.

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!
