Always easy to get GF at Tex-Mex restaurants. Easy to sub corn tortillas, and the creamy jalapeño is GF too
I would not recommend eating here. We went to try it out before taking my daughter (she is 5 with celiac). Their gluten free menu says almost everything is cross contaminated,. The fryer is not separate and their corn tortillas are cooked alongside the flour ones.
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.

The manager was very knowledgeable and very helpful. He even knew that I couldn’t have the fajitas because they’re marinated in beer. Staff was awesome. Unfortunately, very few options, but I would definitely return, just for the service. I got the mexi-Cobb salad with roasted chicken and a side of guacamole instead of dressing. Super yummy, and I don’t feel sick at all.
My 12 yo has celiac. Our server checked with the manager and the manager did a great job of helping us with her meal. He explained what was safe for her to eat. This is all new to us and he was so helpful! He was very knowledgeable about celiac and gluten sensitivity and safe practices. My daughter was very happy, she loved her meal, and did not get sick.
The manager I spoke to was very knowledgeable about celiac. He advised me on food options even though I am gluten intolerant (not celiac), and made sure to ask me if I was ok with cross contamination. He even asked how I did with dairy and spices! Very impressed.

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
