Temazcal Tequila Cantina

Staff is super knowledgeable and they have a separate fryer for chips. However given this is Mexican food the variety of options is exceptionally limited and they still have to be modified for gf. Probably wouldn’t go there again unless their menu changes.

There are a limited number of options for celiacs but they are labeled on the menu clearly and the staff did an excellent job handling my restrictions. I ordered grilled salmon tacos in a lettuce wrap and was able to request that they be made in a pan instead of the grill. The server was especially well-informed, particularly when I asked about tortilla chips in the fryer. The fryer is shared; the corn tortilla chips are fried in fresh oil each morning before everything else, which might be suitable for folks with an intolerance but not celiac; I avoided them just in case but felt well-informed. I gave the server a card from the Gluten Intolerance Group to give to the chefs indicating what a celiac can’t have and the server mentioned he really appreciated that. The manager brought out my meal, which reassured me that they’d taken the restrictions seriously. The tacos came out in wooden taco stands which are also used for meals with gluten-containing tacos, but I didn’t have a reaction.

there are a lot of Mexican restaurants in MetroWest. Pros:gluten free chips (ask for gf)knowledgeable staffgluten free options marked on menuextensive tequila menuCons:the corn tortillas are not gluten free leaving somewhat limited choices. a bit disappointing as Mexican food is usually gf with a few exceptions

The staff told me “we fry our food long enough to take the gluten out” - do not eat here if you’re looking for GF. If I could give it 0 stars I would.

Our server was amazing. The margaritas were amazing! BUT gluten free food choices are very limited here and everything that you’d assume is gluten free was not due to cross contamination risk. I’d likely not go back due to lack of options.

Very limited GF menu but the food is excellent. The staff goes above and beyond to take allergies seriously and avoid cross-contamination.

Not impressed- they have gf chips that are baked but they taste like cardboard. My mom and I both order steak faijitas. Mine were ordered with my gluten and dairy allergies, hers were regular. However, when the dishes came out mine had chorizo and hers did not. I double checked with the server and they were convinced the chorizo was gf but couldn’t explain why mine had it and my mom’s did not. Needless to say, I barley ate the dish. Tried to eat the part untouched by the chorizo. Wouldn’t rush back that’s for sure, especially with such a limited menu

Most of their menu can be made gluten free. They are very knowledgeable about what is safe and isn’t. They told me the beans were not gluten free and the waitress could not tell me why. The manager came out and explained why they were not and all of the precautions they take. Food was delicious, the space was comfortable, and I would absolutely go back
