Chuy's

We read some old posts that Chuy’s was not gluten friendly but we found out different. The kitchen manager was great! He was able to show us the precise menu options that he could assure would be served gluten free for our celiac daughter. She LOVED the chicka chicka boom boom enchiladas!

Told to avoid it if I have celiac from management

Celiac friendly?

No

Just diagnosed with severe Celiac disease, (still in denial), and this place was a no go for me. From what I've read, if the staff and manager is knowledgeable, they should be able to come up with something, but the chips share the fryer and the corn tortillas share the grill with the flour. So eat at your own risk 💩 Love the mojitos though!

Celiac friendly?

No

Very few gluten free menu options - which is odd for a Mexican restaurant, and is a strong sign that most of their food must be factory processed before it gets there. My meal must have been cross contaminated.

Celiac friendly?

No

I love Chuy’s! I’ve learned, however, what I can and can’t eat after talking with managers at different locations. I always get the Chicka-Chicka-Boom-Boom and I’m fine eating that! I am also fine with the chips, but I am not sure if they are contaminate free. I do sometimes have problems with the ground beef.

I am a celiac and sensitive and I have eaten at Chuy's several times in the past 12 months. Never had a reaction. The manager I spoke to was knowledgeable and some servers were. The servers who were unsure, went to the manager to get a correct answer for me. I always get three chicken enchiladas with Ranchero sauce and Mexican rice and refried beans; they have always been tasty. I suggest you be sure to tell the server you are celiac so they won't think you are a fad dieter.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was not at all knowledgeable about celiac. We asked the manager about options and when he offered flour tortillas we kindly refused them saying they were not gluten free. He then proceeded to tell us I couldn’t eat anything on the menu and I should just leave. Very rude. Not gf. Don’t go here even if you can have flour

Staff told me this restaurant is unsafe for people with celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

Second time and all good. Will be BACK.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The Boom Boom Chicken Enchiladas with rice and beans are great! I have never been sick from this meal with chips.

Chuy’s does NOT have a gf menu. From information online, they marinate their meat in beer, so no meat is GF. They also cook everything in the same fryer if you are really sensitive. Pretty disappointing for Mexican food since most of the time it is GF.

The kitchen manager Miguel is always amazing. Their enchiladas and chips are gf. Unfortunately their rice has a cross contamination risk and all fajita meat is marinated in beer. However, they can make a plain chicken breast for fajitas if requested.

When I asked about a gluten-free menu the manager , Brent, came to our table. He was very knowledgeable of gf issues and assured me that the folks in the kitchen are also. There are several delicious gf options. Ask questions and choose carefully.
