They're very good about keeping things free from cross-contamination, so I want to give them a great review, but to be honest the food wasn't that good. The chips are cooked in a shared fryer so they did baked chips to avoid contamination and they were basically slightly crispy corn tortillas. Taco Tuesday prices are good though.

Wow! We deliberately drove here because of previous reviews and we were not disappointed! Soon as we asked a gluten free question the manager was called over. He explained the kitchen processes, separate areas, and answered questions. They are quite knowledgeable and would refer anyone here in a heartbeat!

This was a wonderful experience. The food was delightful. Jeremy was very knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions. The carne asada was a wonderful choice. Jeremy was very aware of cross contamination and suggested choices that reduce the risk. They made fresh corn chips.

Very celiac safe! The owner came out and spoke with me regarding the precautions they take. The chicken tacos were yummy. They have a shared fryer, so the gluten free tortilla chips are baked. Not the tastiest chips but it’s still nice to have the option. The guacamole was fabulous! Would highly recommend!

The gluten free chips were burnt and inedible. We ordered a pitcher of margaritas that hardly had any alcohol in it. The tacos were okay but were disappointing. Don’t bother going here.

Get the Steak tacos Guacamole is fresh, but the GF chips are soft. Take the the guac home and buy some chips. They use a soft chip because the hard chips are fried in same fryer. Also, the rice is fried, yes , rice is fried in same fryer as non gf.

That being said, let the server know you are GF or celiac. Was a real pleasant surprise for a bar atmosphere restaurant to be on point for what is available.

If you identify yourself as having celiac disease, the manager on duty will handle your order and they will take it VERY seriously, which is nice. But options are somewhat limited for gluten free. Like the “chips” we got were floppy grilled corn tortillas. Many of the dishes come with fries but those aren’t available GF because they share a fryer. So yes, they take cross contamination seriously but the GF versions of most items are subpar.

My experience here was so far beyond my expectations in both service and food taste. The manager himself came to our table and made me feel so comfortable about eating here. He even cooked my food! He clearly explained all of the precautions they take to keep Celiacs safe. I will definitely come back again!

The manager came out to ask if I was celiac and explain the precautions taken in the kitchen, as well as to explain how anything on the menu could be modified to be gluten free. He also mentioned they can accommodate other food allergies. I felt extremely comfortable, and my food was delicious!

The Owner and his brother personally handle any allergy issues. All cooking surfaces are separated by the chef to eliminate cross contamination. They know their food and ingredients. The Owner deals directly with the customer. The food is unbelievably good

I did not like their food, but I didn't get sick either. I called and asked about GF options and she said yes, then I told her I wanted street tacos and she said yes they have those and their GF. Got down there and they don't have street tacos. I don't understand why some places can't be honest... the chicken tacos I got were not good...

I cannot tell you how excited I was to find a place that is celiac safe! They were extremely knowledgeable about celiac. They explained all of the ingredients and dedicated cooking areas. They even told us that my non-celiac husband not to share his utensils, salsa cups, or his food with me. So many items were gluten free! The food was so delicious and I can’t wait to go back and try more items!

Las Hadas is AMAZING!!! I have Celiac and a severe gluten allergy so eating out can be scary. This is the most relaxing meal I have had in years in a restaurant. The owner is fantastic and really knows what he is doing to keep his customers safe. I had the carni taco, black beans and an order of chips and salsa. The chips are baked/grilled giving them a different char grilled taste- so good! And the trio of salsas - also sooo good. My hubby had the regular(non celiac) California burrito - he couldn’t finish it. Prices are very reasonable making this a place to definitely go to again and again.

Staff was very knowledgeable on cross contamination and very helpful. Food was very good. Will go again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food and service was exceptional. They were so welcoming and had a Celiac menu (not simply GF but Celiac!). Chips are grilled since the fryelator isn't safe. I had the chicken quesadilla and it was so good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is amazing! It is very celiac safe. Family friendly!! The wait staff knows all there is to know about celiac disease. We have two daughters very sensitive to gluten. This restaurant is family owned and Alan the son of the father who started the business cane to our table. This is typical. The wait staff told us the manager will personally speak with you to understand your preferences. They delivered! Right in the gas lamp district it is so nice to have a great option for celiac families! Thank you!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ate here while visiting San Diego and had a great experience! Manager came to talk to me and explained they had a separate area for grilling the tortillas and such and they did have a separate GF Menu. I had the “celiac street tacos” and they were delish.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The manager of this place is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and made me feel the most comfortable I have ever felt after being diagnosed celiac. I can’t recommend this place enough, not only is the food amazing but it’s so securely safe. The manager and waitress took time out of their busy night to explain every process they have with celiac customers and it was great. Amazing place

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Highly recommended. The staff was very knowledgeable about gluten containing items and cross-contamination. Dedicated menu. Very yummy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great Food! The staff was very knowledgeable about celiac disease they even have a celiac menu ! No issues! I would eat here again!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What an incredible restaurant. Great service (thanks Lisa!), totally GF aware, amazing separate menu. Seafood relleno = top 3 Mexican dish I’ve ever eaten.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I contacted the restaurant ahead to make sure they could accomodate our celiac teen. Mgr. was very prompt and reassuring. Upon arrival from the hostess stand to waitress and kitchen, everyone was on their game. All the positive reviews on here hold true. The waitress even explained that the rice nonGF eaters order is different than the GF rice and was above and beyond helpful and friendly. Mgr. talked with us and checked on us a few times during the meal. We were well taken care of and daughter had a safe meal with no reactions....except of course happiness she could feel normal in a busy restaurant.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a separate gluten free menu, be sure to ask for one. The waitress immediately let the kitchen know that an order would be coming with gluten free needs. She was knowledgeable and helpful to me. Even got me some heated corn tortillas slices as an alternative for the chips. I ate the carnitas platter, it was delicious! No reaction!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Food was great! The chicken tacos are outstanding and so is the salad. We ate here twice and did not get sick

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great service and dedicated celiac menu. So great to have a Mexican food. They are very careful here. Came here twice on vacation!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was great! Separate celiac menu, lots of options. When they brought out the food , the server (unprompted) went through each thing, how it was prepared, why it was safe, etc. Will come back here every time I’m in San Diego.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

As soon as I mentioned celiac the host went over all the gluten free options and the precautions they take with me. He was just as excited about the options as I was. All the meat is cooked on a dedicated grill and they change their gloves. Ate here twice. Tacos were amazing and the quesadillas were really good too. Didn’t get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Was in town for work and came back twice based on their GF/celiac menu. Food was great and most importantly I felt assured I was getting a truly GF meal.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was amazing and there were tons of gf options. The manger ensured food was gf and even wiped down hot sauce bottles!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great place! The manager came to discuss their celiac meal preparations, and I felt very reassured that my food would be safe. They have plenty of options, and I got the chicken and cheese quesadilla. Non-celiac guests in my party also enjoyed their meals. Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was great! They made us feel so safe we didn't waste a nima capsule to test it. They are very careful with cross contamination. My sons had the Celiac street tacos one had fish, one had carne asada, both were happy and full!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

As all the reviews mention, they have a gluten free/celiac menu and as soon as you indicate celiac, the manager comes out to explain what is safe or not (shared fryer) and then they bring you baked corn tortillas and salsa - SO YUMMY! The food was delicious - highly recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff and food were amazing!! They asked if we were GF or Celiac!! We have a gluten detection dog and she cleared the food brought for my daughter!! I highly recommend this place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food. Separate gluten free menu. Manager came and spoke to me when we sat down to understand my own situation etc and explained their cooking processes - very impressive.

Separate menu. Manager and chef spoke to me about the precautions they were taking to avoid cross contamination. Good food, good service.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have never been treated so well at any restaurant. The manager/owner, Bobby came out and talked about my needs. He understood the need to avoid cross contamination. I ordered from the official GF menu and they even made me some pan toasted corn tortillas as chips for my salsa and guacamole.They were so good my husband kept eating them after he got his chips.The food was excellent. I ordered a drink and, as I sometimes do, started looking up the ingredients after, thinking I would just give it to my husband if I couldn't have it. Well, before I could ask what brands of ingredients they use, Bobby was already at the bar looking it up and checking on it. He brought out the labels to read with me. Excellent food and even more amazing service. We will definitely return next time we are in San Diego. Highly recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We ate here last night and loved it! They have a good selection on their gluten free menu! Employees were very caring and the manager came over with out us asking and went over their celiac protocol. Felt very comfortable. Our celiac daughter loved her food. Great food overall wonderful experience! We will definitely return the next time we are in San Diego!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I NEVER write reviews. Traveling is a nightmare for food allergies. This restaurant was so careful I felt extremely safe. Matt was super knowledgeable about the menu. And the FOOD!!!!! We loved all our food. Only sad we’re leaving tonight, we would eat there again tomorrow.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So sick Laura I ate here 1 hour ago. Very friendly staff. Arianne seemed to be knowledgeable about celiac. However, I am so sick from my meal. NOT celiac friendly at all. I'm so disappointed. I only gave it 1 star, because my family's meals were great.

Celiac friendly?

No

Incredibly celiac friendly. Our very gluten sensitive 16 mo old had the gluten free chicken quesadilla last night and didn’t get sick, and was excited for leftovers today. Very accommodating. We will be back for dinner and takeout.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
