Review of Mexican Republic Kitchen & Cantina

I tried this restaurant by the recent reviews here and glad I did! At the end of the menu on the bottom they list specifically which items are gluten free and the rest of the menu items will likely be cross-contaminated. That is unusual for a restaurant to understand, let alone list items in this regard. High marks off the bat! Our waitress indicated right away that she understood cross contamination, which is not common, so that made me feel better from the start. She gave very good service through the meal and was very pleasant, so we have her a large tip, much deserved!

I had three barbacoa tacos with sides of cauliflower rice (never had before & much more tasty than I expected) and black beans. Mmmm, everything was so good, loved it!

They do not have a dedicated fryer, so I couldn't eat the chips, but my husband (not celiac/gluten sensitive) who is rather picky about salsas liked them. They list on their menu what they charge (first round of chips & salsa free, extra is a few bucks more) and give good details of what is included in the fees. I look forward to coming back!
