Review of Nachomama's Tex-Mex

We went for cinco de Mayo, and got there around 8:30 and online it said they closed at 9:30. The woman working the counter was rude and told us they close at 9 and “to be respectful of that”, understandably they had a long day ok. The closer to 9 it got the more rude she got with patrons, until someone corrected her.

When placing my order I started off by saying I need everything I order gluten free because I have celiac disease, she had no idea what that meant and looked at me like I was from Mars. After she entered in my order the owners son came over, and said “you said gluten free right?” And he had to call his mom over (the owner) to fix it, otherwise my food would’ve been wrong. If you go, I would suggest ordering directly with the owner or her sons.

When our food came out, the chips were very stale. The queso was delicious, the margaritas were out of this world, and the rice was good. Their food is definitely more authentic than Americanized (like tequilas or fuzzys). I found them recommended in a celiac group and the post was specifically asking for kid friendly places. I would not say this was very kid friendly. Tons of onions in everything. We drove 35 minutes just to eat here, not sure I would be back. If I did I would just get a marg, chips, queso, and a side of rice.

A few hours after eating I developed a headache, a stomachache, and some joint pain. Not sure if it was cross contaminated with gluten or not.
