I love Lupe Tortilla!! I have eaten here numerous times with no issues. I love the chips & bean dip. The chips are safe for those with Celiac Disease. Fajitas are great with corn tortillas. Highly recommend Lupe Tortilla for Tex-Mex!!

Staff was helpful and seemed to understand gluten allergy. Almost everything on the menu is or can be made gluten free, but you'll need to ask your server whether an item is gluten free already or has to be modified. The main thing to look out for are things with flour tortillas and things that are fried (which includes the chips), as they do not have a dedicated frier.

I had the Tex-Mex enchiladas, which did not need to be modified. Great meal, no gluten reaction.

Staff was so knowledgeable on gluten allergy. Their chips are fried in a shared fryer so don’t eat if you are celiac. They went above and beyond to make sure we got the right food and that special care was taken for our food. The head chef came to our table to talk to us and explained the care they take our gluten allergies and answered any questions we had. All of the fajitas are 100% gluten free (the steak was our fav) and they come with corn tortillas. The fajitas were out of this world delicious! They made any special accommodations they could so our kids could get food they wanted - ex. Quesadilla on corn tortillas. We will definitely be back!

Spoke to the chef personally, and she told me that the chips are GF and most things are GF. So, far so good ... The only reason for the 4 stars is I just got home and not sure of the reaction. Time will only tell.

We ordered my son grilled chicken, rice and corn tortillas. It was yummy. They don't have a dedicated fryer, so no chips:(

I specifically told my waiter that I needed my dish (tortilla soup) to be gluten free for a celiac, and he assured me that he would take care of it. Typically they leave out the tortilla strips that have been fried in the same fryer as other food. After I started eating my soup, I realized that it had the contaminated tortilla strips at the bottom. When I started asked questions. It turned out that the waiter had never told the kitchen. The manager came over and profusely apologized, but unfortunately, it was too late at that point. I was sick for several days afterward.

Menu is mostly GF, and anything that HAS gluten is noted. Beef fajitas typically have gluten due to soy sauce in the marinade, but Lupe Tortillas are gluten free-yay! it's a bit pricey but worth is to enjoy beef fajitas and delicious homemade corn tortillas. They will also sub tortillas with large pieces of romaine lettuce to create a "taco" if you request them.

I've never had an issue here. I get green chicken enchiladas and fajitas with corn tortillas. The corn tortillas are the best I've ever had.

My favorite Mexican restaurant! So many options! I love all of their food I'm sad their table chips are not gluten free but I love the table beans, skinny margarita, shrimp tacos, fajita chicken Tijuana salad, mahi mahi fish tacos, fajitas, shrimp avocado salad. They are always very knowledgeable and accommodating!

I was told that the chips were fried in the same oil as non gluten free items, so I avoided the chips. I did receive rice with my meal though, & just saw the previous review that said the rice was made with flour. Hopefully that’s not the case.

Felt bad after eating the chicken fajitas. Tested my leftovers with Nima and gluten found. I didn’t test beforehand because I’ve eaten here without issues many times. Something has definitely changed.

I had eaten here one other time before being diagnosed as celiac several years ago. I told the waiter I was celiac. He said everything on the menu was GFany dish with flour tortillas. I then asked if the chips were fried with anything that could cause cross-contamination. He told me they were not so they were safe to eat. I ate a few chips with the salsa and beans that came with them. I'm still a bit wary of eating out regardless of what a restaurant tells me so I played it safe and ordered something with a low chance of having flour...soup and salad. I did not get sick.

The service was great and the food was good, so I will definitely eat here again. BTW, instead of marking GF items on the menu, they mark gluten containing items since the menu is mostly GF.
