Maria Bonita Mexican Grill

UPDATE: I don’t know where Maria went but she is not running this place anymore…So they have changed their menu and procedures…the chips now share a fryer with flour and so they are NOT GF…The selection is really poor now and limited without a dedicated space and fryer. Very disappointing!! This was a super fun place. The waitress was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. They were very accommodating and were willing to make pretty much anything on the menu GF. I will definitely go back

I wouldn't recommend this place. I always get sick whenever I eat here and I know of others with food allergies or sensitivity that get sick whenever they eat here too.

They have a gluten free section on their menu which was very nice and convenient! So far I still feel great, no signs of any gluten!

The manager and server were knowledgeable. They have a dedicated fryer and their tortilla chips are made in that fyer. The regular menu has a small section with GF options. That section says all the salads in another part of the menu are GF, but when I asked my server about the one in a tortilla bowl, she was surprised and said the tortilla bowl isn't GF so it must be mistake. I took that as a good sign that she was up to speed. As others have said, the food is good and the portions are generous. I got three tacos and took two home for the next day. It's a very popular retaurant so we had to wait a long time to get a table on a Saturday night, but if you know that going in, it's not too bad. I have Celiac and felt fine after eating there.

I love this place the food is authentic Mexican food. I had the Maria's taco salad with chicken. It's a lot of food and I could only finish half. They have quite a few GF choices on the menu. We will be coming back soon!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food is delicious and they have a section on their menu with gluten free options.
