Miguel's Cocina

Be sure to communicate with your server about your gluten free diet. My server was very knowledgeable about which items were gluten free and was cognizant to make note for the chef to be careful about cross-contamination. The kitchen is very serious about preventing cross-contamination. Please be aware that it is a shared fryer situation here- the complimentary chips and cheese dip are NOT gluten free. My server stated that the cheese dip uses flour, which is a shame because it is honestly one of the best cheese dips out there taste-wise.

Waiter seemed to be knowledgeable but I asked very pointed questions based on reviews. I only had two options fajitas or fish tacos. I did fish tacos, he said swordfish is the only option with black beans and white rice. I ate one taco and felt sick within 10 minutes. Would not go ever again. They have items marked GF all over the menu that are not actually GF

Got the tacos which were marked gluten free and I ended up get glutened slightly. They were knowledgeable about the chips being cooked in a shared fryer, but I would not recommend this place for celiacs.

Delicious food and many GF options. Chips were not fried in dedicated fryer, but server brought us corn tortillas to dip in salsa and queso. Very knowledgeable server.

This restaurant should not claim to be gluten free. The menu outlines modified gluten free or gluten free as is, but I was told everything was cross contaminated when I asked. I was served plain chicken, tomatoes, avocado, and white rice (no salsa, no guacamole, etc). Would not recommend. The meal was horrible.

Most of the menu says gluten free or can be modified to be made gluten free, but is not safe for celiac. They have a shared fryer so the chips and anything else fried is off limits, although labeled gf on the menu. I ordered tacos and the waitress was extremely knowledgeable about what’s gluten free and what wasn’t. She also made a note to clean the area and change gloves before I even could ask. Multiple tacos that were labeled gf actually were not. Thankfully, the manager looked over the order and came out to tell me that one of the sauces was thickened with flour

Absolutely not gluten free. Says items can be modified and gluten free on the menu and then when you order, steak can't be modified because it's pre-marinaded, seafood can't be modified even though it says it can on the menu. They don't have a separate fryer and can't cook anything separate. After waiting over an hour for food the waiter came and said basically nothing can be modified, and its not safe. Not sure why this place has so many "gluten" free options. Don't try to eat here if you're celiac.

Most items on the menu are gluten free or can be modified to be gluten free. Several can be made vegetarian as well.

The tortilla chips and hard shells are not gluten free as the frier is shared. The flavored rice is not gluten free, but they can substitute white rice.

The bartender put my food in as wheat allergy, but the woman that brought my food out asked if I was celiac. She informed me that the rice was not safe for me and that the hard shells were not either due to a shared fryer and had a new order made (the bartender was informed on the shared fryer for the tortilla chips. He was brought out back and educated on his mistake and how to properly input celiac into the ordering system).

The Ahi tacos were very good. I am rather sensitive to cross contamination and did well here (thanks to the woman that brought my food out). I have also only eaten here once.

Called ahead of time to confirm chips were not in a dedicated fryer. Manager was very knowledgeable and told me exactly how to modify the items I was looking at to be safe for me to eat. Great experience!

The server knew what he was talking about when I mentioned celiac and told me not to eat the chips. Thankfully I already knew that from this app considering he told me 10 mins after the chips were out, but still appreciated the effort. I ordered the ahi tuna taco plate that came out with white rice and black beans as well as corn tortillas and was brought out after the rest of the tables plates, which could be a good thing or just coincidence. I’ve seen the mixed reviews but so far so good and will give updates after the food settles in.

UPDATE: feeling fine (which the margarita could have helped) so A+ to them

My server was very knowledgeable about what options were most celiac safe. She recommended the fajitas to me because they are made in their own pan. The meal normally comes with Mexican rice but they will sub white rice for it if you let them know you have a gluten allergy/celiac. I asked about the corn tortillas and the server said she would make a note to request that they aren’t heated on any shared surfaces. The food was great!

They have quite a few gf options, but from my experience here, ordering fajitas is your best bet. I have felt not so great in the past when I tried their enchiladas.

*chips and white sauce here are not GF.

Got sick right after eating here

The food was delicious. Unfortunately, I was glutened by cross contamination. My reaction was not severe enough to warrant a full blown wheat ingestion but enough that I know I was hit with something. I brought my own chips (after reading the fryer was not celiac safe) and ate from my own salsa. I ate a scoop of ceviche which was taken off the communal plate before anyone touched it and was delivered on a separate plate from the wheat tortilla chips. I ordered the adobada tacos on corn tortillas with the modified black beans and white rice substitutes everyone mentions which was marked gf on the menu. I was extremely careful but still got cross contaminated. The staff was friendly and accommodating and I don’t blame them for giving their best efforts but unfortunately, I cannot risk it again. This is always the risk whenever eating from a kitchen that serves any gluten products.
