Gluten free chips from a different fryer. Ordered the grilled fish tacos with a side of rice off the gluten free menu. It Nima tested positive for gluten. Also ordered a corn tortilla quesadilla for my daughter and it came out as a flour tortilla. Most of the table was done eating before they brought her the correct one. Manger came out after I sent the Nima tested plate away, but I didn’t want anything else since I did not feel like their kitchen was trustworthy.

We called ahead to see if they could accommodate and they said that they have a separate area for gluten free. I have celiac. When we arrived they did have a gluten free menu with quite a few options. I ordered the chicken fajitas. I asked the waiter a couple of times how they prepared gluten free. He said it would be gluten free but did not seem to understand my question. He then asked if I wanted flour or corn tortillas. Clearly he did not understand gluten free. I specified corn and then reminded him to mark for allergy. The food was pretty good. I did not like the corn tortillas but they were okay. The rest was good. I did not have any issues and am still fine the next day. I felt pretty confident since we had called ahead and got reassuring information.

Separate double-sided Gf menu, so nice! Found items for both me and my picky eater daughter, both celiac. No gluten reaction. Had the fish tacos, yummy!

I got glutened, I’m sure it was mild cross contamination because I only have a decent stomach ache (y’all know the one). The staff was accommodating and was knowledgeable about it so I’m surprised it happened. I read many people on here say it’s fine so maybe my experience an exception but it was the reason we choose this place even though we knew it wasn’t the best around. I don’t know if I would say I discourage going here because they do have protocols, but i wouldn’t personally recommend it.

Was excited to try the gluten free menu at Casa Guadalajara! I got a Mexican chopped salad that was delicious but as I was transferring my leftovers into a to go container I discovered a giant chunk of flour tortilla in the bottom of the salad. They must have plated it on a flour tortilla shell shell initially and then realized it needed to be gluten free and transferred it to another dish. I was so bummed! The manager was apologetic and took the item off of the bill but I'd be concerned about cross contamination if you go here!

Wonderful food! Fast service that was amazing. Separate gluten free menu with separate gluten free chips upon request. The servers checked in frequently to make sure all was well. No one has had a tummy ache and it has been 24 hours since eating there…highly recommend.

GF steak ranchero is very flavorful. Ask your server for gluten free chips and salsa.

Really cool place near Old Town that friends invited me to. Was much more GF-friendly than I expected. Ask for GF tortilla chips! They told me the regular tortilla chips they bring you are NOT GF and they brought me another basket that was. They also gave me a separate GF menu with lots of options. Unfortunately I didn't notice there was more on the back until after I ordered! But I was still very satisfied with my Chicken Fajitas and steamed corn tortillas. I hope they eventually put the GF menu on their website. We ate outside in the courtyard that has a fountain and a big tree. Overall a great experience! And I was not glutened as far as I know, but I have the type of Celiac where I don't get obvious reactions.

I was just going to say it wasn’t very good food, too much salt and not much flavor, for Mexican food. But then I got glutened. It’s always a risk with these places, I accept. I hope they keep trying. Super cute place and fun ambience for a group.

Very good. I got my own chips and salsa, drinks were refilled before they were out. Excellent service! Hubby said it was the best he has eaten in a long time. Already making plans to come back.

Wonderful food. Huge portions. Ask for gluten free chips when you’re seated. Dedicated gluten free menu with a decent number of options.

Had a great experience here on vacation. The staff told us they fry GF chips each morning. Staff was great to get a GF menu and the server delivered the food telling me it was GF.

Delicious food and fun environment. Never been sick from here and am quite sensitive.

We just ate here again April 2019. Fabulous food. Separate GF menu. My daughter ordered the pork tacos. She loved them and was not sick afterwards. Photo attached. She said she liked the beans too.

Two years ago: Delicious Mexican food. Outstanding!! My daughter has celiac and is highly sensitive to gluten. We've eaten here twice and she has been fine both times. They have a separate GF menu and they brought her her own basket of chips and salsa for a starter. Great GF selection. Our #1 choice when traveling to San Diego.

Surprised by the wait at 4:00pm on a Sunday. We were served fresh chips from a separate fryer . Server was very understand accommodating. I have a picky 10 year old that wanted nachos supreme without everything (just cheese and sour cream). The server brought my daughter cheese and sour cream to put on her chips. They also have a separate gf menu. Very family friendly!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Asked the hostess for a GF menu and they immediately asked if I needed GF chips as we sat down and then brought me my own chips and salsa (Nima approved). I got the grilled fish tacos with black beans. Food was awesome, service was awesome, and I finally got to eat out like a normal person.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good gluten free menu and the food tastes great! I haven’t had Mexican food in years! Celiac safe, ate here twice this week.

Celiac friendly?

Separate g-free menu always gives me confidence a place knows what it means. Server seemed to know the importance of the g-free requests, eg brought corn chips instead of regular tortilla chips without being asked. Great authentic Mexican food, HUGE portions! And a gorgeous place with lovely atmosphere. So happy to find it, we will be making it a family favourite.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Called ahead and spoke w manager; entire staff paid great attention to preparing meal. GF menu has lots of options. No dedicated fryer so bring own chips. Overall great meal and experience.

Celiac friendly?

The staff were very accommodating when they knew I had a corn and celiac allergy. We found this place via the Find Me Gluten app. So thank you to those that provided the recommendation. The chef customized my meal to ensure that all allergies were avoided.

They have a GF menu, which is helpful. The food is just okay, nothing outstanding. the atmosphere and service are very good.

I only had the GF nachos but they were really good. Staff was knowledgable about GF needs and practices.

Celiac friendly?

Both my daughter and I are gluten intolerant. We were thrilled with this find. There is a separate gluten free menu and separate gluten free chips. The service is outstanding. They really work as a team to make sure you are taken care of. We ate here two days in a row on our vacation and we did not get sick either time. We had the gluten free tamales, the seafood tacos, and the mexican salad. All delicious. We also had a dessert option, the flan. It was wonderful too. The atmosphere is great. I highly recommend.

Just left. So good!!!! Make sure to ask for the gluten free tortilla chips for the separate, gluten free menu! Had the ceviche and fish tacos. So freakin happy right now! The house margarita aren't worth it, go with something a little more expensive or just order your tequila straight up ;)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was amazing! Good options on the gluten free menu, they made sure I had gluten free chips. They made sure to say my food was gluten free when they brought it. I've eaten here twice and did not get sick which is huge for me. I will be eating here a lot in the future.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was told that march of 2016 they stated adding flour to all sauces so no enchilada options. What I had had good flavor but I couldn't cut the chicken it was so tough. We've eaten here every time we come to San Diego so I was very disappointed.

ask for Gluten free menu. Brought separate chips out upon request. Plenty of menu options and had no celiac reactions:)

went in, spoke to host -- sure they have a Gf menu, but no one could answer any of my basic questions about prep, did not make me feel confident or comfortable to eat as a celiac. very crowded and busy--felt risk was too high. did not stay. :(

Gluten free chips (separate fryer for GF) and awesome menu.

Do not eat here! My husband has celiac, and they did do a good job on cross contamination. I don't have celiac, but I got food poisoning from here! It ruined my last 2 days of vacation. Stay away!

Yummy fish tacos! Their skinny margarita is made with fresh lime juice and agave nectar! So good!
