Fonda La Catrina

I got extremely sick after being glutened here, despite sharing that I have Celiac / a "gluten allergy" and asking all the normal questions. The restaurant did apologize with a gift card which was nice, but I just can't get myself to go back after how sick I got.

I’ve eaten here many times. I usually have a great experience and enjoy the food a lot.

I’m irritated that they still haven’t fixed their menu after multiple requests: the enchiladas with mole poblano are NOT GF. I was glutened and they confirmed that they use bread in the mole. So don’t get that, but I’ve had tacos, plates, etc and everything else has gone well for me.

Great place everything on the menu is marked if it’s gluten free and a lot of the menu is gluten free itself so good variety of options. Plus the food was really good!

We ordered takeout late after striking out with a couple of other restaurants. I ordered the chorizo tacos with cheese, and my companions ordered various other stuff (I was the only GF person in the group).

The tacos tasted great, the tortillas were incredibly soft and delicious (to the point where I had a moment of panic thinking they had somehow given me flour tortillas, though they were definitely corn), and I had no reaction afterwards. A ton of the menu is GF or can be prepared GF and they are clear about what things can't be prepared GF. I didn't try the chips but other reviews seem to indicate they are safe.

I have eaten here several times and not gotten sick and the food is amazing! I am gluten, dairy, egg and soy free.

Handmade tortillas are incr-edible! Always fared well after eating here. Busy most evenings, it can be a wait (comic books and records nearby!). Also, they don't do take out during the peak evening rush.

Only a few menu items contain gluten. Servers are knowledgeable and the food is delicious. Great happy hour deals too.

All tortillas are GF, and they seem very aware of gluten ingredients. Authentic Mexican and delicious food! They say the fryer for their chips is GF.
