Agua Verde

Staff is very familiar with celiac. Their fryers are not dedicated gluten free but their chips are certified gluten free (chips aren’t made in house). Many of their tacos and quesadilla options were gluten free. The server even assured us we had our gluten free order without prompting when they delivered our food.

Was able to clarify that the tacos and chips were both celiac safe. I had chicken and steak tacos here with their chips and was good to go! Taste is not the best though.

Was nervous based on reviews, but spoke to the kitchen and felt more comfortable when they explained their celiac prep procedures. Had chicken tacos and they were great! No reaction!

I have eaten here twice now - the first time I had no issues, but I unfortunately had a reaction when I ate their tacos last night. They are marked to be allergen friendly on delivery apps, however I am not very sensitive and definitely could tell I had been glutened. Gluten intolerant people can probably eat here safely but I would sadly not recommend celiacs take the chance.

The menu is clearly marked for gluten. I ordered the shrimp taco with rice and black beans. It was delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The only reason why I gave a 1-star review was to make sure Celiacs are aware that this place is not safe and can’t ever be safe, according to my lovely gluten-intolerant server there. I sat down and was so excited to enjoy my favorite type of food which I’ve yet to eat at a restaurant since getting my Celiac diagnosis. Boy, I’m telling you, I was EXCITED. When the server approached, I did my normal “I’m a Celiac, [insert brief explanation here], can you accommodate” stuff as to not waste anyone’s time and she asked how “bad” I was. I told her I might be at the highest end of the effects scale and she said, straight out, “Don’t eat here. There’s flour flying everywhere back there. I’d hate for you to get sick because you ate here.” So, if I had it any other way, I’d rate it a 5 for honesty, but, for the sake of quick-scanning Celiacs looking for some delicious Mexican food, please, for the sake of your health and gut and sanity, don’t eat here.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have celiac and have eaten here twice without getting sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good food and an extensive menu. I am quite sensitive to gluten and I didn't get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nearly everything on the menu is gluten free - and it is clearly marked if the item is not gluten free. The menu also states that all tortillas and tortilla chips are gluten free. Very extensive menu, good food and fantastic setting!
