I ate here one year ago and got sick. I saw there were more positive ratings so I decided to revisit. Unfortunately we were told the corn tortillas are cooked on the same surface as flour tortillas. One of my 2 celiac daughter is highly sensitive (like me) so we left the restaurant before placing an order. The server was very kind.

I haven't been to the Allen location in awhile… so I was really taken aback to learn chips are made in a shared fryer. Really disappointed.

BEWARE: tortilla chips are NOT gluten free!!!!!! I ate half a basket before I was told. RIP. I didn’t ask because I’d been to another location and was assured they were fried in their own fryer, so that’s my fault for not asking. When I asked if another item was gluten free my server informed me that the chips were not (too little too late, but again, my fault for not asking — just celiac things).

Had chicken fajitas and all good. Suggest not having the corn tortillas and go for lettuce wraps to be safe

Fantastic. Menu has marks next to items that are not gluten free. Most of the menu is gluten free including chips from a dedicated fryer. Service was very friendly.

Taste good and everything is gluten free besides flour tortillas. Not a bunch of fried foods that ruin the chips!

This is our favorite Mexican place around! The fajitas with corn tortillas are incredible!!! There has been some confusion around shared fryer or not for the chips so I just ask for corn tortillas with butter and they always bring some out complimentary!

Try it! So so good! They also have great tamales!!

Visited this restaurant based on reviews saying that everything is gluten free and there’s a gluten free fryer. However when we asked our server we were told that everything is fried in a shared fryer. I had the enchiladas which tasted great and I didn’t get sick from them, but I was disappointed to not be able to eat chips and other fried options on the 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!
