Pappasito's Cantina

Pleasantly surprised. They have a separate gluten free menu with a few apps, 5-6 entrees, and ice cream for dessert. They also made me gluten free chips and salsa, not made in same fryer. For my dinner I got cheese enchiladas which were delicious. The meals my family got ( not restricted) looked amazing. We had great server and the manager assured the kitchen would be attentive to avoid cross contamination. Also, the atmosphere is very cheerful and inviting. Had no reaction after eating there.

I love this place, and their small gluten free menu packs in a lot of flavor. The chicken tinga enchiladas are my absolute favorite. The baked chips are not worth it - every one was chewy and I about choked, but it was a nice thought.

Went here before a baseball game. Service was slow, probably just our waiter though. They have a GF menu that is fairly small. I requested baked chips for my salsa and never received them. The manager came out shortly before our food did to let me know the first batch was burned and they comped all my food. I got the Ixtapa Beef Enchiladas and they were delicious.

Stopped here late on a Thursday before they closed. They have a dedicated gluten free menu which I appreciate. It mentions to ask for baked tortilla chips. It took a couple tries to get the waiter to understand what that meant but he was nice about it. The chips themselves were very stale and not worth the extra effort to get them. I had enchiladas which were tasty.

Our actual entrees were really good, and there were plenty of gf option. I had a delicious fish taco. And the potions were so generous we all had leftovers. However, honestly the gluten free chips were gross. So bad my tortilla chip obsessed 6 year old wouldn't even eat them. And chips and queso is his favorite part of coming to a Mexican restraunt. So if you're coming for a good meal, it's a win. If you're coming chips and salsa/guac/queso, skip it.

They have baked Tortilla chips and a gluten free menu!! DO NOT EAT the chips they place at the table. You have to ask for the baked ones!

The chicken fajitas were amazing! Prepared fresh with corn tortillas and did not get sick. I am very sensitive to cross contamination, so that was a big deal. This was a family favorite of mine before diagnosis, so I’m glad I can still eat there. Not as good as it was with gluten, but that’s kind of the case with everything. 4 stars because the baked chips were not as good as the normal ones used to be, but better than nothing and I appreciate that they had an option.

Celiac friendly?

Enjoyed tableside guacamole... baked chips gf but not great... however the salmon mango salad was delish!!!!!! Salmon was perfect.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Tons of gf options and they have a very strict process when you tell them allergy. 100% safe. Didn’t give 5 stars because their gf chips are nasty and they don’t have queso.

Separate gluten free menu. Very good food; fresh and plentiful. Our waiter, Robert, was friendly and attentive. Wish we lived closer so we could eat here often!

Celiac friendly?

The servers are not knowledgable what so ever. If you have a true allergy, ask for the chef to come out. They have actual GF corn tortillas...however, because the staff has no clue they will serve you the corn ones made there (which contain wheat). Be careful!!

This was the best Mexican food I think I've ever had outside of California. I ate an incredible beef brisket soft taco that was very flavorful but also very fresh. That being said, their seafood is what you should go their for. The fish comes in fresh daily and tastes amazing. Everything was amazing. The only catch is that the fajitas are really expensive on any day but Wednesday.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This restaurant has a pretty great gluten-free menu and the server seemed pretty on-top of what I could and could not have.

Loved this place! They brought me my own chips and salsa. Large variety of GF food and drink on the menu. I have celiac and am highly sensitive to cross contamination and I have never had issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Read this for the facts of the restaurant ;-)

I give this place 5 stars for all the options that they have that are gluten free. The GF chips are horrible though. They do not have any GF beer or cider. They do have GF mixed drinks as most mixed drinks are GF.

Many choices on the gf menu. They will bring you safe baked chips! Had the pulled pork tacos and guacamole. Staff knowledgeable and super friendly!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am so glad that I tried this restaurant. Fantastic tasting food and a much larger than expected GF menu to choose from. I had the guacamole (fresh and very tasty) pork tacos (packed full with meat), and a side cheese enchilada (with chili topping). My server seemed knowledgeable about gluten free preparation and stated that the chefs were very careful to avoid cross contamination (without prompting). Overall a very pleasant visit. I will definitely visit this establishment again to try the other menu items that I was tempted by. :)

Only negative - No chicken for GF customers (and I really like chicken enchiladas)... Sigh.

Of Note - this should be listed as a "$$" dining experience for the GF menu pricing.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Outstanding experience!

Was brought my own basket of baked chips. Extensive GF menu and an absolutely delicious meal!

There were no apparent measures taken. I ordered the Tequila Lime Salad w/o the chip strips. The service was awesome!

There was a separate gluten free menu. Our waitress addressed my questions and concerns. My food came out on a special plate with a sign indicating that it was gluten free. It was good and I did not feel ill afterwards and I am pretty sensitive.

We had the best experience here. They have a gluten free menu. When our waitress took our order and noticed my menu she said she would notify her manager. They were super careful my plate was even marked. I felt completely safe and actually normal. I was recently diagnosed so this was a huge deal!
