Wahaca has been a favourite for years! I’ve been to this location too many times to count and it’s incredible. The staff is very knowledgeable. They have a manager come to the table to take allergen orders. All food is marked with flags to indicate gluten-free or allergen plates. The kitchen is not all gluten-free so some contamination is possible, but I’ve eaten here for years and never had an issue. They have gf tortilla chips because the normal ones are fried in a shared fryer. The food is incredible!!

I've been here before and everything was great. They advised they can't 100% prevent cross contamination but would do everything they can. Went along tonight and the manager was quite insistent about the cross contamination and she advised the kitchen don't use a separate grill for gf or she couldn't guarantee they'd wipe down prep areas before handing gf food.

Staff was very knowledgeable about cross contamination. They don’t have a separate kitchen. I specified I was ordering for an allergy (Celiac) and he disclaimed that there’s not a 100% guarantee which should be expected with no separate kitchen. The menu has a section for gluten free and another for “Milder Gluten Sensitivities”, obviously if you’re celiac DO NOT order from that section. I’m an extremely sensitive celiac and ordered a rainbow bowl as it looked the safest and felt completely fine after. Not 100% safe but just be careful when ordering. Also had a gluteguard tablet before my meal which may have helped.

They don’t guarantee no cross contamination, but the waiter was knowledgeable and they take precautions and separate their GF menu into celiac safe vs intolerance GF dishes. I felt very safe and the food was tasty. My dishes came out marked and they paid special care even though I was in a big group

I’m not sure if I just went on an off night but the waitress told me they couldn’t accommodate for gluten cross contamination. I was really excited to eat here after seeing the great reviews. But no manager ever came to speak to me like the other reviews said. I asked her to double check with the manager and she did. She was nice about it but the whole interaction didn’t fill me with enough confidence to eat here. We ended up leaving without eating.

This is a special restaurant in general and very accommodating for Celiac travelers. Our meal requests were handled specially by the manager (actually two managers helped us), and it was very clear that they took their procedures very seriously. On top of that, all of our food was delicious.

Separate gluten free menu and they have the manager take the order to ensure that it is strictly gluten free with no cc. Lots of options, and food was delicious! Chicken tacos, nachos, salad, and even a few dessert options! They also make amazing mocktails. I felt very safe eating here and had no issues.

They understood immediately how important it was that my food would not be cross contaminated and took great care to mark my food to not confuse it with the other platters. There was a large selection of delicious food too.

Loads of options, staff ask whether you’re coeliac or intolerant and advise accordingly. Gluten free orders dealt with directly by manager and arrive with a purple flag on. Good margaritas too! Great for large groups.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Brilliant! Great food and really helpful staff. They have a separate gluten free menu and they took me being a coeliac super seriously with the waiter checking if I was a coeliac or intolerant. The manager took my order and all the coeliac food came with wee purple flags, all prepared separately. My friend is a vegan and they had a separate menu and we're super helpful for her too. Would throughly recommend :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There is a separate GF menu, and on requesting this the waiter asked if I was coeliac or just avoiding gluten. He explained the manager would come and take my order and it would arrive with a flag to identify it and avoid mixups. There was a choice of various tacos (where you order 2 or 3 different ones, a bit like tapas), and also several larger dishes. Dessert was ice cream (but interesting flavours with nice sauce) or caramel flan which unfortunately they had run out of. I think there were also a few veggie options, and some may have been vegan but I didn’t check as I like meat. The food was lovely and it was nice to feel confident they knew what they were doing. It is now the following day and I have had no ill effects!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had a great experience eating here. I told the server I was celiac. He brought a gluten free menu and had the manager come and specifically help me with my order. The food was tasty and marked with a flag that said “Allergy”.

Great range of options and everything is clearly labelled. They ask if you have an allergy and add little allergy flags to the food so you can be sure they’ve made sure your meal is allergen free specifically.

We had guac and chips, chicken tacos and beef tacos. All was delicious - potentially a bit on the smaller side for portions for the price but was tasty regardless!

Gluten "sensitive" menu available BUT if you're actually celiac (like me), read carefully, as they do list cross-contaiminated items (ie. gluten free potatoes that are cooked in a fryer that gluten items have also been fried in).

That said: my tacos and salsa flyte with chips were excellent and the mango/habernero sauce is addictive 😊
