Review of Urbano Mexican Fare

Overall Rating

Review


Came for drinks outside and asked what was gluten free. Apparently nothing. After drinks took 15 minutes to come out, we’re told you have to order food. I explained I have a gluten “allergy”, assume they know nothing and ask if the guacamole can come out with carrot sticks or veggies. Blank stares. Ask for corn tortillas and get it.

You know in real Mexico, everything is gluten free and corn based?!?!

Food tasted fine (not sure yet about safety) but I hate taking risks, and i hate places that do zero research into allergens and how to serve hungry people who need safe food. I don’t blame the server — I blame incompetent management.

Would never return and do not recommend
