TaMolly's Mexican Restaurant

I have celiac, and have talked to the manager here (Waxahachie location) many times. I am kind of over the top when it comes to my dining and safety, so I am a good test case for those of us who are super particular or super sensitive. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Great food, very GF knowledgeable. I don't know about the negative reviews, but I have eaten here 10 times with no problem and always get something different. I feel safe here and the food is really good, and good price. My husband (also GF) loves the spicy beef enchiladas. The chips and salsa are GF (dedicated fryer). I just at there and got the spicy beef nachos, and my husband got the beef fajitas with corn tortillas (all GF!) I am STUFFED!

Talk to the manager if you want peace of mind, he will help you. The spicy beef is gluten free, the brisket is gluten free. I don't think that is marked clearly on the menu. Ask if you have any questions. But I recommend!! GO! ;)

TaMolly’s was great. I had a chicken chili relleno and it was so good. They have a separate fryer so the chips and hot sauce were really good. We started off with Bobs queso dip and was really good. They asked if I had a gluten allergy and seemed knowledgeable about being gf. They had a gluten free menu and had a gf flag in my food when it came out. I had no problems with getting sick here at all. Great Mexican food experience. Will definitely go back

Have eaten at this location and the one in Texarkana a few different times and haven’t gotten sick. My food comes out with a little gluten free flag and the staff knows what you’re talking about when you mention celiac and/or gluten free. I’ve missed Texmex and will drive for this! Yum!

I ordered an enchilada plate and it was delicious. The server was very knowledgeable and brought my food out first with a clean potholder and a little flag on it indicating GF. I was very happy with my food and the presentation.

They have a separate fryer for the chips, which is awesome! Super knowledgeable wait staff, about what you can and can eat. Also, the menu is marked. Great food!

Celiac friendly from the time we walked in the door. Menu was available upon request. Staff was knowledgeable. Food was great. Happy to finally find a Celiac friendly Mexican Restaurant!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve eaten at two different TaMollys (This one and one near Shreveport). Both times, while the management may be knowledgeable, I haven’t found the waitresses to be knowledgeable about gluten free items on the menu. And both times I’ve gotten sick.

Extremely allergen friendly and conscious staff. Good food!

This is a great place to eat. The staff is fully trained to handle GF needs. As an added measure, the manager brings out the GF food himself, preventing any cross-contamination from the other orders at your table. There are quite a few options and the food is very good. Bonus: The chips are GF!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly and knowledgeable, but very mediocre food and very poor service. Never refilled our bottomless chips and salsa, left drinks empty a long time. Waitress disappeared for very long periods of time. Queso Blanco was one of the nastiest things I've ever eaten at a restaurant. Enchiladas were okay.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff is trained in gluten free with a separate area in the kitchen. I had no cross contamination and felt very safe. They labeled their regular menu as well as had a separate gluten free menu. Such a great experience!

We drive through this way on our way to visit family and decided to give this a try; needless to say we will definitely be back! They are super awesome.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff is kitchen trained for no gluten food. They have a great gluten free section and it tasted amazing! Definitely recommend this place. I was able to eat the chips and salsa which is rare whenever I go to a Mexican restaurant! Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

TaMollys in wonderful. So many gluten free options and the staff is so super nice. We always have fresh hot food and friendly service. The manager brings the gluten free dish to the table, they are careful and very attentive.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great restaurant, great service, food I haven't been able to eat in years. Very tasty and quick service. Wish there were one in my town!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

First enchiladas I've eaten that I didn't have to make in 3 years. They were awesome. Great nachos and salsa, too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pretty good cheap food, didn't make me sick and exceptional service

Really good food and good service.

I felt safe eating at Ta Molly’s in Texarkana. My food was brought to the table separately from the meal with gluten. Mine was hand delivered by the manager. My meal was perfect. There are several menu items marked gluten free. I feel like the restaurant understands what gluten free means and takes steps to follow guidelines. I will definitely return.

Ate here with my husband yesterday and had a great experience. Highly recommend, service was fast, food was good, and price was excellent! I also have a severe gluten allergy, and I felt safe and they took care of me. GLUTEN FREE! Thank you! I am gluten free and they take allergies very seriously here. I felt completely comfortable. If you are gluten free or celiac, you can go here with peace of mind.

This is the only restaurant I trust 100% not to get me sick in Texarkana. They have Celiac Disease trained staff with a separate area for gluten free food. My food comes separately from my family by a manager with black gloves. My food always has a gluten free stick in it. I eat here once or twice a week.

I have Celiac and am quite concerned about getting cross contamination at restaurants. We went here on our drive home from Texas and was very impressed. They totally understand about celiac and assured me that the kitchen has dedicated areas and fryers for the gluten free food. The enchiladas were great, the chips were gluten free and delicious. 3 hours later and my tummy is still happy!! Highly recommend this place for Celiac persons.

Every time we’ve eaten in the restaurant, we’ve had a really great experience with the kitchen staff be cognizant of a gluten allergy and proper precautions.

I did recently have a bad experience with the restaurant where we had a pick up order during a busy day (right at a holiday) and had requested the entire order to be gluten free and we were given flour tortillas. This made me nervous that the rest of the order wasn’t prepared gluten free. When I called to ask about this, the person who answered the phone said the kitchen staff was too busy to answer questions since the restaurant was busy due to the holiday. When I pressed the issue saying that there was an allergy and I needed to know if the food was prepared with this in mind, the girl on the phone left for about 30 seconds and then got back on and said that they rung it up as gluten free so the kitchen staff “should have” made to gluten free.

It’s certainly made me weary of this location. I think I will stick to eating in the restaurant & avoid busy times.
