Lupe Tortilla

Does not have the same menu as a lot of Lupe’s so no gluten free items marked. Manager said they were not set up as gluten free and wasn’t confident about being able to avoid cross contamination.

No gluten free options. Manager said he could make something, but wasn’t confident about it being safe.

This location is not like others. They do not have a gf menu or items listed gf like most other locations. The corn tortillas and every sauce has flour per the manager. That said the manager was great and pointed me in the right direction. I had chicken fajitas with lettuce to wrap and it was good. The options here are limited.

I went to the Katy Grand Parkway location. The waiter was kind enough to inform me that there was a very high chance of cross contamination even if I got corn tortillas because they are made in the same location as the flour tortillas. But I was able to eat the fajitas without tortillas. I appreciated the waiter being knowledgeable and letting me know what was and wasn’t safe. I wish the menu labeled things clearly though.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have eaten Mexican food in many countries in the world.

Even in Mexico City, I’ve been able to have a very nice and tasty Mexican menu customized to my several food allergies, it’s not too complicated, just a clean pan and the good will, Mexican food is celiac friendly food!

I never imagine that here in US, where there’s enough information about how to handle special diet clients I was going to experience such a rude discrimination and even worst from the restaurant manager!

We came to your restaurant at Katy just because Trip Advisor states that this is a gluten-free options place, but this wasn’t true - confirmed by the person in charge of the restaurant who didn’t make any effort to even try to accommodate my needs.

What was I asking?! Grilled veggies with no lemon, chicken o shrimp with no wheat marinated sauce ... I would’ve been please with a guacamole made from scratch (no lemon) so I could share our Sunday’s Lunch with my familia ... BUT to that simple request He answered that the guacamole was already prepared ... he didn’t even want to take a $1 avocado and serve it ... I held my tears, not my anger because we has so rude :(

He firmly said that that is not a celiac safe place

Celiac friendly?

No

Best Mexican restaurant for gluten free in Katy

I go to Sugar Land. Menu clearly identifies items with gluten! They are very aware!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Um, there is definitely no gluten free menu, I asked to speak to a manager and don't know who I got - but she told me sour cream wasn't safe. Serious miscommunication here. Maybe some staff is better educated than the ones I talked to? Definitely cross contamination on chips and corn tortillas - she could tell me that. Hoping I don't get sick.

Not for Celiacs for sure!!!!!! Waiter first thought cups were made from "flour" so not gluten free (I'm like... They're corn tortilla chips right??!!), then came back and said never mind they are corn tortilla chips so gluten free! But are they Celiac safe? He did not know much about anything for gluten contamination..worth it

Celiac friendly?

No

I talked to manager. He looked into it after he tried to give me a standard response. I guess he saw that I wanted a dinner. He was very polite afterward and made me feel comfortable. Ordered the fajitas with corn tortillas and mgr said chips were fried with breaded items. I did not get sick though.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is not a total gf site but they do have gf items. The manager came out and made suggestions and I had the best portabella mushroom fajitas with corn tortillas!! Awesome service and food, great for intolerance and not worried about contamination.

They did NOT have gluten free menu at "this location", according to the manager and they said they could not really serve me anything gluten free as the kitchen was "completely contaminated with gluten". This was a first for me... at ANY restaurant. Needless to say, I did not eat.

We stopped in at this location late on a Sunday night because we saw that they had a gf menu. Apparently, this location is NOT gf. They do NOT have a gf menu, their manager kept saying over and over again that they couldn't guarantee anything. We asked if they could try to make our dinner gf and the manager just kept sticking to his line that they couldn't guarantee it. We walked out without eating there. The 2 star rating reflects our experience of not eating there. Wish it could have been better.

This is the original Lupe’s! It’s my family’s and my fav tex-mex since I was born basically. When diagnosed I felt so discouraged I wouldn’t be able to eat here, and the level of safety but I’ve made alternative options to be able to eat here safely and have the amazing margs! 1. I bring my own chips in my purse (I get an extra salsa to dip or a spoon for queso/gauc and my family is great about putting it on their plate so no CC) 2. I heat and bring my own corn tortillas in foil in my purse. (Note: they have lettuce cups and corn tortillas but they aren’t the safest - they try their best to clean the grill but I am extremely sensitive). 3. I get the mixed fajitas and they are safe! I make my tacos first before the rest of my family and all is well!

I know this is extra and sometimes not the most convenient but as my family’s local amazing mexican restaurant I make the time to feel safe. Celiac is not easy but never feel discouraged!

I eat here regularly. There is a tiny wheat symbol by items that aren’t gf. Everything else is. I also have no issues with my dairy allergy. I just eliminate cheese and sauces.

I ate here one year ago and got sick. I saw there were more positive ratings so I decided to revisit. Unfortunately we were told the corn tortillas are cooked on the same surface as flour tortillas. One of my 2 celiac daughter is highly sensitive (like me) so we left the restaurant before placing an order. The server was very kind.
