Sharky's Mexican Grill

Update: they no longer have a dedicated frier. I have no idea when this changed. We don't eat there anymore.

Man, I'm really torn on this one. I like the food, non-GMO corn, organic rice & beans, chips supposedly cooked in a dedicated frier. But super sensitive Celiac hubby reacts every 2/3 times we eat here. He pretty much ALWAYS orders steak nachos. I know they fire the nachos in the same stone oven thing that they cook their flour tortilla based pizzas in so maybe that is the source of the CC. My son hasn't had any problems after eating here but he pretty much only gets rice, black beans & broccoli. Another reviewer says the brown rice is not safe, but I thought both types of rice were GF... Guess I need to double check.

Celiac friendly?

No

Their grilled salmon was delicious and fresh; the manager said the grill is cleaned for every order. Do not get bbq sauce on salmon as it has gluten. Their Mexican rice, beans, yams, and steamed veggies are gf. The grilled veggies and brown rice are not safe to eat. The manager was friendly and understanding. Food was tasty and fresh. If you are casein intolerant, makes sure to tell them no cheese on beans and no butter on salmon. $

The food was great but definitely cross-contaminated with gluten. 😅

Bad at minimizing cross contamination. I ate here when visiting my family and their gluten free options are plentiful and well explained but I do not recommend for those with Celiac or very sensitive allergies, as I got sick anyway from their power bowl. Tastes good, but not worth the illness.
