Review of Iron Cactus

A summary of my review: You can safely eat here, but ONLY after asking a lot of questions. Don't eat without asking questions!

Reasons why this place IS Celiac friendly:

-dedicated gluten free fryer for chips (MUST REQUEST CHIPS FROM THIS FRYER SPECIFICALLY)

-GF menu available

-Will work with you to create a meal you want to eat

-Management is attentive when asked for help

-Sweet and sour mix in margaritas is gluten free, and many of the tequilas they use are also GF.

-I did not get sick after eating here.

Reasons for the 3-star review (as opposed to a higher rating):

- I had to ask a LOT of questions - more than I normally do, and each question resulted in a long, long wait for the answer.

-They didn't know the ingredients in every product they use in their Mexican rice, so even though it's listed on the GF menu, they couldn't actually guarantee that it's GF (and Mexican rice often uses a tomato product that can contain gluten).

-The waitstaff is not knowledgeable; the waiter went to ask the kitchen if the chips were fried in common oil, and he came back to say that the chips are not GF. But the manager said he was wrong and that they DO have two fryers, one exclusively for GF fare.

-If you don't know to request chips specifically from the dedicated GF fryer, you may get chips that were fried in common oil - it's tortilla chip roulette!
