Rosalita's Cantina

Just don’t do it. The first time I went, I had “gluten friendly” fajitas (yes, they do not claim to offer gluten free foods, just “gluten friendly” ones) with corn tortillas and the free chips and salsa. I was mildly sick the next day. So the next time, I thought I would avoid anything made with the cross-contaminated corn tortillas, so I ate only a burrito bowl. But I still got sick. Clearly, everything is cross contaminated! Go somewhere else, this place isn’t worth it anyway…the food isn’t authentic and the margaritas are weak.

If you have celiac, DO NOT go here. The menu items that are marked GF are most definitely not GF. It ruined a bachelorette party for me because I decided to trust the menu. I was sick for a full 24 hours and the tacos weren’t even that good. Waste of money.

The server said it’s not gluten free; it’s gluten friendly. But when the nachos came that we’re supposed to be gf; it had retried beans in it. She had already told me to sub for black beans for my daughter (also celiac) on her entree. Clearly not accommodating to dietary needs.

Celiac friendly?

No

I visited the Des Peres location on Manchester Rd. The server clearly did not care about my gluten allergy. She literally shrugged when I asked her if the chips were gluten free and whether they margarita mix was safe. Great patio, terrible staff. :-/

Celiac friendly?

No

I called ahead before going there because I saw gluten free items listed on the menu and my friend was hosting her bachelorette party dinner there. I was told the items listen as gluten free on the menu would not be safe for celiacs. The only reason I am giving them two stars is because they said they would be willing to cook a piece of plain fish or chicken in a pan for me. We ended up not going to this restaurant, but I am posting this to give others a heads up.

Celiac friendly?

No
