Paladar Latin Kitchen and Rum Bar

The waitress was very knowledgeable and helped me navigate the menu. I had the pork carnitas tacos in bibb lettuce, also chips with guac. No issues.

I was glutened here last night. I told them gluten ‘friendly’ wasn’t enough to protect me. The hostess and wait staff clearly didn’t understand or communicate that to the kitchen. I ate the chips ( from a dedicated fryer) and fish tacos that the waiter said would be gluten free. I’ll skip this place in the future.

Another establishment that labels their food “gluten-friendly,” which is nonsense. I guess they don’t want to get sued or bother putting a little more effort into making the food safe. Their chips must have been cross contaminated because I got a slight reaction from them even though they assured me that they’re fried in a separate fryer. The tacos were pretty good and seemed safe. If you’re really sensitive you might want to skip this place.

Amazing food but the service was alright. I don’t care much about service as long as there’s no cross contamination which there wasn’t. I’ve eaten here many times and it is so so good I definitely recommend. Every time I eat there I get tacos and I’ve never gotten a reaction.

They have a gf menu with lots of choices and they were accommodating to my dairy free request as well.

This restaurant served me regular flour tortillas, and their staff did not know how to do gluten-free.

I ordered tacos, and ordered them with the gluten-free tortillas. I discussed with the server that I have celiac, the importance of avoiding cross-contamination, etc, and he assured me they would take care of it.

When I was brought my food, I verbally verified with the waiter that it was gluten-free, and was assured it was. Looking at and smelling the tortillas, I became concerned that they were flour tortillas. I asked two more waiters if what I had in front of me was gluten free, and they both said yes. I finally got an assistant manager to come look at my plate, and was finally told that no, I had been served their regular flour tortillas.

I then found out that one of the ways that Paladar is supposed to differentiate between gluten-free and regular taco orders is that the gluten-free tacos only come with two tacos (instead of three for the regular tacos) - meaning that in addition to the kitchen's mistake, three different servers looked at my plate and didn't know enough basic information about the restaurant's gluten-free food to know that I'd been served the regular tacos.

Speaking to the assistant manager and eventually the general manager, I heard a lot of platitudes and not much else, and was even given the excuse that they were very busy that night.

I strongly, strongly discourage anyone who eats gluten-free from eating here. They don't actually know what they're doing.

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff is very knowledgeable about celiac and cross contamination and GF menu is very detailed as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a gluten-free menu and they’re very conscientious about cross contamination. They have good vegetarian and vegan options. I ate the jackfruit tacos. They were smokey, tender, and delicious. Their black beans and very flavorful, but I was disappointed when I realized my cup of black beans was mostly rice underneath a layer of beans. Portions are generous. I had enough left over for breakfast the next morning. Service is good and attentive, but it also tends to be a little slow. This is a restaurant that can get very busy, so you might want to make reservations if you plan on going Friday night or for brunch. Prices are a little high.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great decor & staff in a really nice area. I did take out one night we were in town. Also dined with 23 others. They accommodated my gluten-free & vegan needs but also a great place for all kinds of diets especially with a big group. Food was safe and good but not great flavor-wise.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really enjoyable and delicious meal. Many GF options including cheesy bread rolls which were incredible. The menu not only listed GF but indicated if items were cooked in the same fryer as gluten containing items. Wait staff were knowledgeable and very accommodating. Highly recommended.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wonderful! 6 y/o is celiac and life threatening allergies to all nuts (including shared lines), egg, and soy protein. Chef came to the table and discussed safe options. Many options available. Chef convinced our little one to try a tortilla he was able to safely make! She ate almost all of her meal! Because we were celebrating and 3 other kids in our party were planning on an ice cream treat, we confirmed ahead of time the ice cream would not be safe b/c of shared lines and stopped on our way for a safe kind...restaurant staff were nice enough to ours safely in their freezer until dessert time! Will definitely eat there again!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One word: AWESOME! My server was very knowledgeable. She caught a hidden tree nut allergen in my drink. Looking forward to another visit in the area. Blacken Fish Tacos with their Mango Salsa and Blackberry Thyme Mojito . . . Yum!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent!! GF tortilla chips and an amazing GF menu. No other fried options other than the chips if sensitive or celiac, but a good array of other items to choose from. Can't wait to go back!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Chef and server were knowledgeable and interested. They both went the extra mile to make sure there was no cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wife has celiac and is also dairy free and sensitive to seed oils. This place is great. Waiters take her concerns seriously. Have been here a few times and have had a good experience each time.

Food was great. Their menus states that they take allergies seriously but the waitress was not willing to find out how things were cooked to ensure they were not cross contaminated. She became very frustraed when we had dietary needs at our table and the waitress actually stopped coming to our table. We had to rely on asking other servers for assistance.

Things were told to be gluten free " should be" and then when I asked further they said they were unsure. I had little confidence after that.

Great food. TERRIBLE service.

My husband has celiac. The staff was extremely knowledgeable. We asked about chips and guac and they informed us that the chips are cooked in the same fryer as food containing gluten. It’s always a good sign when the waitress knows ways of cross contamination. There were many options for GF. We had great food and my husband had no reactions and we will definitely be back!
