Fred's Mexican Cafe

food was good. the menu was just a wrinkled piece of paper though. stay classy

The only thing "gluten free" on the menu us shrimp or pork tacos. Manager refused to modify the tortilla chips to make them gluten free (leaving off the additional seasoning sprinkled after they are cooked). Then put tortilla chips on the gf order. I will not go back.

Really wanted tacos tonight, but the Mexicali salad with shrimp was the best GF option and it was delicious and HUGE!

Knowledgeable about gluten and celiacs but wouldn’t recommend due to lax of options. They recommended the tacos which from previous reviews that seem to be there go to for us celiacs. I ended up with 2 small corn tortillas with chicken and lettuce with a side of beans. I didn’t get sick so in the end was happy!

We inquired at the hostess stand about GF and were told that tacos were the best option. Our first waitress said the same thing. Then another waiter was helping us and offered a GF menu. Indeed, the choice were tacos and a couple of salads. The food was good and we would return. A sign said they were short-staffed, so be sure that your needs are communicated!

I had the Cajun shrimp and mahi mahi tacos, exceptional taste & no contamination. Chips, salsa and queso were also gf. Great margaritas and enjoyable experience.
