Elvira's Restaurant

Service staff was nice and answered all my questions. I had a salad, but had to adjust the dressing as some of their dressing have gluten. Minimal gluten free options if you don't eat cheese, meat or fish. The decor in the restaurant is pretty neat.

I called ahead and was told they accommodate gluten free and can make dishes safe for celiacs. After we were seated, I asked an employee I thought was our server what was gluten-free. He didn’t know so he asked and reported back that everything except the rellenos were celiac safe and that even the shared chips were also safe because the fryer doesn’t see gluten. I didn’t believe him and didn’t eat those chips. Then our actual server, who was fantastic, told me what I chose was *not* gluten free and steered me to something that was. She also warned me the fryer is *not* dedicated. I had a flounder with pineapple dish that was both delicious and safe!

Two things I thought to share after I posted what I wrote yesterday. The rice that comes as a side contains gluten - beware! Also, I don’t get digestive or other obvious symptoms when glutened so I can’t know for sure when I’ve been exposed.
