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.

The staff was very helpful explaining what was gluten free. I went twice. The first time they said the chips were in a dedicated fryer but the second time, they said it was mixed. Seems like it changes from time to time. The corn tortillas are fine, so I had the chicken enchiladas without the queso on top (their queso contains flour). Instead, I added shredded cheese and extra tomatillo sauce. It was decent, but nothing special and there were so few gluten free options.
Almost everything on the menu contains gluten. Our server told us there is gluten containing seasoning in all of their meats. We were a group of 4, with 2 of us being gluten free. The only reason I gave them a 2 was because he was very gracious about our leaving after he had served us chips. We went to a different restaurant. I will not go back.
I was told they had a gluten free menu over the phone. When I arrived the gluten free menu consisted few items (8) mostly consisting of random vegetables. I would have rather they told me they just didn't have one. Will not be returning.
Has gluten free options. I order one enchilada with pulled chicken and boom boom (spicy queso) sauce, side salad with jalapeño ranch, and side of refried beans. Bring your own GF chips (theirs aren’t GF) or have them give you a couple corn tortillas to dip in free salsa for appetizer. Their queso isn’t GF but boom boom sauce is.
My husband and I had a great date at Chuy's. They were celiac-friendly and the server double-checked to make sure that the ingredients in my dish were gluten-free. She also let me know that the chefs did not change their gloves between prepping GF dishes so there could be cross-contamination. I usually have a negative response within 5-10 minutes of consuming gluten and I did not have a bad reaction at all after eating this meal. I'll definitely visit Chuy's again!
