BelAir Cantina

This is one of our go to spots for dinner. Chips are gf. Gf items are clearly marked on the menu and the food is delicious. I’ve eaten here many times without getting sick. Manager and some of the waiters are really good about celiac/gf concerns but we did have an incident recently with a new waitress who failed to communicate with the kitchen clearly and my celiac sons food came out with a flour tortilla. I caught it in time, the manger came over and was extremely apologetic, they remade everything from scratch and comped his meal. We’ve been here enough to know that was an exception, not the norm

Was very sick after eating here. I had the free corn chips with salsa and spicy pollo tacos with beans and rice. Symptoms were that of having been glutened. I spoke with the manager the next day and he swore up and down that everything is completely gf, that the chips are cooked in a dedicated fryer, and that cross-contamination issues do not exist. I am stumped as to what it could be after having experienced a severe gluten reaction. Could it have been a slip up by one of the staff in the kitchen? I suspect cross-contamination. I was sick all night and the following morning, an experience so unpleasant that I do not think I'll ever eat here again.

I only like the queso and chips (I order it probably 3x a month). Everything else is mediocre and dry.

They have always been excellent with allergen safety. I have celiacs and go here often, I’ve never gotten sick. Corn tortillas and most everything else - is clearly marked!

I have been going here for years and with a recent celiac diagnosis I wanted to see if I could still enjoy it. I LOVE the food and the manager was very attentive to what I needed. The server did ask me if I wanted corn or flour tortillas so I don’t think that the servers are well trained in what products have gluten. Due to not having immediate reactions to cross contamination, I cannot say how careful they were but the manager did say they changed gloves and that he watched the preparation process. My plate came out with an allergy sticker to note that my allergy was kept in mind during the process. Overall a good experience.
