Los Panchos Mexican Grill & Seafood

This is our go-to Mexican place in Escondido. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The tortilla chips are NOT gluten free. They are fried in the same fryer as the chimichangas and all the other flour stuff. The rice is also cross contaminated in the fryer. However, the fresh corn tortillas are great, the ranchero carne asada was really good, and the beans- best beans ever! I only wish I had rice to go with them, because the veggie substitute was blah.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable about gluten free food and cross contamination. My son is celiac and they made his food in a completely different area. They even said it would make them feel better if they did that to make sure he was safe.

The staff was amazing, food was great and the owner came to the table to make sure everything was perfect. Lots of gf options available.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great service and staff provided good recommendations. They don’t have a dedicated fryer so chips were not GF.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Our waitress was very knowledgeable and brought up contamination risk before I even asked myself! The menu is labeled with gluten free items and the rice and beans can be substituted for veggies and whole beans to ensure a celiac friendly meal. Plus, it was delicious!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very knowledgeable about Celiac and menu was well marked. Unfortunately by dinner time they could not guarantee the chips were not cross contaminated, so my daughter with Celiac Disease could not have any.

Really great Mexican food; very knowledgable about gluten free/cross contamination concerns! Very happy with our first meal in California.

Love this place! The staff is awesome and knowledgeable and the food is wonderful. GF items are marked on the menu.
