Papi's Mexican Restaurant and Bar

Separate fryer for chips! They also have gluten-free churros. I've never seen them on the menu, but I've had them several times, and they're really good.

One of my favorite places to eat in Lexington. TheCochinita Pibil tacos are my favorite.

They were very accommodating and knowledgeable about Celiac disease/gluten allergy. Informed me of my options and ensured me that there was separate fryer and grill for gluten free orders! Even gave me suggestions for my next meal there. Food was great too.

Online menu is not marked for GF.

I wish I could give this place zero stars!! Absolutely a waste of time!! Terrible have tried to order multiple times and have cancelled my order. I will never be back!! Save yourself some time and spend your money elsewhere where!!! Absolutely trash for service to their customers! Spend your money some where else!

My dietitian recommended that I go here and I have eaten here many times and not had any issues.

I do not recommend this restaurant. The food was tasty but my daughter who has Celiac got sick and didn't eat her meal after a few bites. The waitress offered to give us a 15% discount but would not take the meal off of our bill until I insisted. I had to ask her to give me a receipt also.

The main kitchen is gluten free, they have a small area dedicated to working on the gluten containing items. The owner has gluten issues so they get it.

I have eaten there twice and was very pleased with both meals.

AMAZING!!!! Incredible staff, and very knowledgeable owner! I got the enchiladas and enjoyed the chips, salsa and queso!

Celiac friendly?

I informed the wait staff that I had celiac and they were extremely helpful and explained the menu to me. I was able to eat the chips and salsa (they are fried in a separate fryer). I had the enchiladas with cheese sauce and they were delicious! Everything was very reasonably priced.

Definitely a great place to eat. Always a treat to have Mexican food. Wait staff is knowledgeable about gluten free.
