Lupe Tortilla

Let the waiter know I had both gluten AND dairy allergies when we sat down and again when I ordered. I ordered the shrimp tacos with no sauce because it was called “creamy” so I assumed it had dairy in it. He didn’t know but, said he would ask. By the time we got our food, I wasn’t hungry so just took it to-go. Got home and it’s covered in the creamy poblano ranch. Called the restaurant back and talked to the manager. She apologized and said this sauce has both gluten and dairy. So glad I checked before I ate!

They have lots of options on the menu that can be made safe but, you really need to double check with a manager! Also, the labels on the menu just mean it “can” be made safe, so make sure you specify!

Their menu is mostly all GF. They actually label was isn’t GF! The staff is knowledgeable and extremely friendly. No chips for us, though but their dishes are totally worth it!

I called first to ask questions and the manager eased my mind - they have a dedicated fryer for the tortilla chips and will use clean boards to prep your meal if you say it’s a gluten allergy (I’m celiac but it’s easier to just say allergy for their protocol). Most things can be made gluten free unless they have a little wheat symbol on the menu. I enjoyed the chicken poblano - didn’t want to tempt fate with any other rescues or things. Feeling great! Yummy!

Staff very knowledgeable about GF options, and serving GF order first. Fajitas with corn tortillas were delicious and all sides were GF, including beans.

The food was amazing... I got the barbacoa Benedict and LOVED it! I had to take away some stars because the service was awful... mistake after mistake and lots of "misunderstandings" between us and both the server and the manager, and the server and manager blaming the misunderstandings on the kitchen, etc., 😅 Ultimately the manager paid for our side of guacamole 😅 But either way, even though it was cold by the time it came out, the food tasted good, and i didn't get sick, so that is what is most important for this app.

Great selection of gluten free meals! Our waitress was super helpful in answering my questions about their menu. They even add the option to get their corn tortillas instead of the flour. The menu is clearly marked with what contains gluten. It's a little pricey but I felt like it was worth it for the menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Almost the entire menu is gluten-free!!! Unless it is marked with a wheat it is already GF or can be by getting corn tortillas. And everything is delicious!!!!!

One of the only places we can get Mexican food and feel safe. Lots of options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food, menu marked with GF, fryers are shared, and very spicy/lingering jalapeños!

I have eaten here many times and the food is always delicious; however, each time I have gone, I have been told something different. One time I was told they could make some GF chips by baking them; the next time, I was told they could not do so since the GF chips would get mixed with those that were not GF. Also, in the many times I have eaten here and expressed to the manager that I and my children were GF for medical reasons (not just a preference), we have always ordered rice and beans as our sides. However, yesterday I was told by a very knowledgeable server that the rice and beans were not, nor had they ever been , GF. I and my children are not Celiac, and we rarely experience symptoms that manifest themselves obviously and externally, so we didn't know. I will not be returning to this restaurant until the entire staff is properly trained and informed. For a great GF Mexican alternative, we will be at Aldaco's.

Celiac friendly?

No

The wheat free items listed on the menu are not gf. Ask the server to check with the manager to verify. The fryer IS shared with wheat items.

After careful consideration and altering our order it did turn out very good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All gluten free items are marked on the menu. Huge selection, food was really, really good.

Was told by a manager that nothing was GF due to cross-contamination issues.

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!
