Tamale Boy Dekum

Had a reaction here the third time eating here. Had a tamale, rice and beans. Super bummed because this place is so good.

Reviews seemed good but I had pretty intense symptoms almost immediately after eating here. Tamale + the fondue, both marked GF and seemingly tough to cross contaminate. Didn’t have my NIMA tester but I’d recommend using one before eating here.

Felt safe here since Mutantis moved in. At first Mutantis had a CC warning for Celiac customer but now they promote their food as being pretty safe on their website.

The banana leaf tamales are the way to go. The Brussels are delicious and great guacamole.

Yummy tamales, tacos, enchiladas and a tortilla free burrito bowl (depending on topping choice-ask) AND margaritas and other cocktails. PLUS Mutantis GF brewery is next door. Celiac husband and daughter have eaten here with no issues.

I have eaten hear a few times without issues. It’s so good too!

I have only had the tamales, rice and beans here because of what other reviews reported. Didn’t ask about the fryer would have been nice to have chips. The tamales were just ok but I didn’t feel sick after. I’ve actually been a few times because it’s very close to my house and will probably visit again in the future. lol

Update: I finally asked and was told the fryer is gluten free.

Super yummy tamales, made gluten-free with corn masa, I had the chicken and it was loaded with meat, side of tasty rice was also great. Wonderful service and staff was knowledgeable about Celiac. Right next door to a dedicated gf brewery, Mutanis Brew so you can buy the beer to have with your meal!

Excellent food, got the no flour unwrapped burrito - flavors were amazing and no reactions. We ordered online and made a note about celiac. When we picked up I asked again to confirm GF items we ordered and they confirmed. They are right next door to a dedicated GF brewery, Mutantis Brewery - so perfect to get your take out food and walk 30 feet to enjoy with a cold GF beer! Would eat here again, super delish!

Absolutely delicious! Majority of the menu is gf. Best horchata I’ve ever had!

The tamales are safe. Anything else is the same grill as flour tortillas despite labeling them on the menu as gluten free. Pretty decent tamales and one is fairly filling.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Most of the menu is gf. The food is fresh and absolutely delicious. Hard to tell if I’ve ever gotten cross contamination there, as I am not super sensitive, but I don’t think I have.

Lots of gf options here. Most items are gf and they were very careful with my dairy-free requirements as well.
