Mago Grill & Cantina

I have celiac and ate here once and it was great. Not a lot of gf options but they were marked on the menu and they were good at avoiding cross contamination as far as I could tell.

Most of the menu is gluten free! Gf labels next to drinks and food on the menu. If it’s not gluten free, it’s indicated they can adjust for the allergy. All of the margaritas and cocktails are gluten free. Staff is attentive and notates allergy on your food ticket. Definitely a great spot for some upscale gluten free Mexican food.

Great GF options. Dedicated fryer for chips. I have been there a lot and never had an issue.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The tacos that say GF on menu are probably fine. The waitress told me the chips were gluten free and they were not I was sick for two days after eating there

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I only like their guac and nachos, and maybe the skirt steak. The rest of their gf is not tasty.

I tried it twice and got very sick both times. I heard very good things about Mago. The first time my food did not taste good and I got sick. I was convinced to give it another try. Big mistake.

Very delicious food and tortilla was so delicious and soft I had to ask to make sure it was GF. Only note: DON'T EAT THEIR DINNER MINTS! I got sick from that. They are the puffed up pillow kind that melt in your mouth. Those are puffed with flour- asked my friend's dad who's a chef.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food. Lots of options. Staff has been knowledgable each visit.

OMG finally a place I could take my husband and daughter for gluten free food very knowledgeable very clean excellent choices chips and salsa gluten free with 3 gluton free dipping sauces I wanted to go back the next day we visited the location in Arlington Heights very quaint but I will definitely also try the one here in Barrington love it definitely first choice for Mexican food ever no. 2 years everyone should give it a try

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food. Great choices. Waitstaff knowledgable about gluten allergies.

I’ve eaten here twice and have not gotten sick. It’s great food, and there’s good options. The chips, salsa, guacamole and queso are gluten free. I also had the fajitas, which were safe.

3 out of 4. First 3 visits were wonderful. Delicious. No issues. Tonight I had serious issues. So did my non-celiac partner. A more general food safety issue???

The menu doesn’t have a ton of options but there’s definitely enough and a lot of variety in the gluten free offerings. The salsa and chips are safe. When ordering, the waitstaff let me know that they were making the food carefully to reduce cross contamination. The chicken served on the Caesar salad was honestly some of the best chicken I’ve ever had, which was surprising. Also, the drinks are marked gf, which is the first time I’ve seen that! Can’t wait to go in the summer when the street is open.
