Not good :( I went there and we ended up leaving, because everything is covered in beer, except I think vegetables? So sad, wish they were more inclusive!
Very few gluten-free options. They marinate the fajita meat in beer. The roasted chicken is gluten-free, but I found it very dry. Not my first choice for gluten-free tex-mex!
Just found out our girls have celiacs in March of 2021.
We have had the bean and cheese nachos with shredded chicken and have had ZERO issues with this.
We of course make sure they change gloves though.
But just last weekend, we were at a wedding and were informed by the Chuys Catering team that Gluten Free fajitas are an option as well! They take a little longer to bring out but it can be done! And our girls ate that at the wedding and had NO issues!
Queso is a no go though folks
And the Tyler team of managers are awesome! One went and prepared some fresh corn tortillas on a separate grill to avoid cross contamination.
Chuys has been great for us!

If you’re celiac, you can eat very few food in this restaurant. We had Tacos without meat there. They do have a gluten free menu but they cannot avoid cross-contamination. Comparing the gluten-free menu to their normal menu, we think they could have made much more food gluten-free than what they currently have. It seems that some of their food (like all the meat and sauces) are Packaged food, which contains gluten so they cannot substitute anything.
They've obviously changed their menu since the last reviewer was in. The chips cannot be GF and basically you can get a vegetarian taco or vegan taco/enchilada plate. No sauces or rice and food is prepared in a common area so cross contamination is a risk
they special baked our tortilla chips, so there would be no cross contamination! lots of gluten free options on their menu

I was nervous to eat here because I’d seen the reviews that they aren’t gluten friendly, but I was invited to go for a friend’s bday dinner and decided to try it. I called ahead of time and they were able to give me a list of things that were safe: the rice, beans, and any enchilada dish that doesn’t have marinated meat.
When I arrived, I let our waiter know about my allergy and my concerns, and he was extremely helpful and willing to double check with the chefs. I ordered chicken enchiladas and had no reaction. Overall I was pleasantly surprised by the positive experience.
Queso is not gluten free! Every time I have gone and had enchiladas, I have had problems. Way too risky to return to.
Fryers are not celiac safe. The staff was very helpful and the manager came out to speak to me about the fryers. Lots on the menu (chicken dishes) can be made GF no issue. The jalapeño dip is GF and bring your own chips or ask for a side!
I haven't been here in years due to lack of gf/DF items. So glad to have come back! Manager came to table and developed a gf/DF enchiladas plate( no cheese). Not cross contaminated very delicious. Did come at 3 pm during the week. Would come during off peak hours.
Not the best place for gluten free. But Ill attach a menu that the Chuys corporate sent to me
