Review of El Banquete Mexican Grille

The hostess wasn’t very knowledgeable whether they offer red gf or not but the wait staff did. Very nice /clean atmosphere w/great attitudes. Oh and the food was absolutely amazing. I had the carnitas. 8/19/23: After eating at this establishment on (5) different occasions w/me getting sick (2) of these times I’m sad to say I won’t be back. I ate there 2days ago & I’m still in agony. Turns out the chips are NOT gluten free as I was first told. The sister of the owner finally set me straight on that (on my 4th visit there). Unfortunately on my 5th attempt the waitress had not one single clue they offered GF nor could you really communicate w/her or the hostess b/c of a SIGNIFICANT language barrier. It seems the majority of their own staff are not even close to understanding what gluten is little alone if they offer any such items. Unless you speak fluent Spanish I’d be EXTREMELY careful. On our last & final attempt we were w/some friends who speak Spanish…but unfortunately the staff on this particular evening were ABSOLUTELY clueless. We won’t be back. Be careful 😔
