La Veracruzana

Server seemed confused about whether the fryer was gf, had to confirm with kitchen that it was not. The salsas are served buffet style and I did not feel safe taking any. I felt quite sick after eating one of their gf-labeled dishes and think I probably got cross-contacted despite warning them about my “allergy”.

This is NOT a dedicated GF restaurant. Someone wrote that it is—it is not. They have some awareness of celiac, but their menu is not labeled correctly. Their online menu is one of those that starts out labeling everything and then drops off. Their in store menu had unclear corrections on it. And they don’t distinguish between foods fried in a mixed fryer as not being gluten free. One of their salsas at the salsa buffet had beer in it, and it was unclear which one. I wouldn’t have eaten there had I not been without a kitchen in the middle of a move. I didn’t feel safe eating there at all. Tasted decent and filled me up. May have been cc, idk. Felt light headed after. Eat at your own risk!

I asked them and was told there's no gluten in the kitchen which is great. I tried the chicken taco and it was good

I’ve gone to two of these chains (Amherst is one of them) and have never had a problem. Their menu is very clearly marked for GF items. I mention I can’t have gluten when I order, not sure if that makes a difference or not but I’ve never had a problem with this company.

This has been our go-to takeout spot for years. We have celiac in the family, and there’s never been a problem with any of the food. There are plenty of options and everything is always carefully made and delicious. Especially the enchiladas! Great house made gf drinks too. Love, love, love this place.
