I’m having to change my review since I no longer eat here because it’s not safe. They make the regular flour tortillas in house, so flour is on all surfaces and there’s no way to keep food gf.

All of their sauces are gluten free. If you tell them you are specifically GF they will make sure to grill the corn tortillas on a different part of the grill.

I've eaten here twice--the first time was without incident, the second time I was glutened. I suspect the corn and flour tortillas all share the same cooking space. I never risked the chips.

Best corn tortillas I’ve ever had! I was sooo nervous about eating here and I thank my lucky stars I found this app.

So many gluten free options and they make sure to not cross contaminate.

This used to be one of our favorites but no longer. Service and food quality used to be excellent. Over the past few months, both seem to have declined significantly. Our recent visit was so bad that we’ve decided it will be our last.

No special fryer for tortillas but most items are identified as gluten free. Waiter was knowledgeable. Would come back.

Awesome corn tortillas. Chicken fajitas with no seasoning is great. Haven't gotten sick.

Awesome gluten free menu, so many options that they actually designate items WITH gluten instead of those without. A little pricey for Mexican but I've gotten glutened at almost every other Mexican place I've tried so it's worth it for a safe meal. Their corn tortillas are the best I've had and they will sub them for the flour ones with the fajitas if you ask.

Every time I go, I ask which enchilada sauces are safe for me to eat and every time, I get a different answer. So I quit going there, because they obviously have no clue.

A Mexican restaurant that understands about Celiac disease. Their menu is marked with the items that gluten cannot be removed. All other items do not contain gluten. They are very aware and it’s a safe place to go and not worry about getting ill!

I was excited reading another review that said Lupe's chips were cooked in a dedicated fryer and almost dove into the basket on our table. Thankfully I waited and the waitress confirmed NOT a dedicated fryer at this location. She did offer baked tortillas that would take 15-20 minutes.

I spoke with the manager before we were seated. The manager confirmed that most menu items don't contain any gluten ingredients. The wheat symbol notates the few menu items with gluten containing ingredients. HOWEVER, (a) their friers are shared, so all fried menu items, including the chips, are cross contaminated and therefore not safe for those with Celiac Disease, and (b) the corn tortillas are made in the same pans as the flour tortillas, so all menu items that include tortillas, e.g. fajitas, tacos, etc., are cross contaminated and therefore not safe for those with Celiac Disease. There is one exception for the tortilla rule the manager mentioned: the tortillas used for the enchiladas are premade corn tortillas from a bag, so the corn tortillas in the enchiladas should not be cross contaminated. The manager continued to advocate for me in the back of the house when they were prepping my food to avoid cross contamination.

Also, I just wasn't impressed with the taste of their food.

I am writing in the restaurant because I’m so frustrated. I have eaten here MANY times and been reassured by many employees that it was safe to eat fried foods. These include the ones marked on the menu as gluten free. There is no guarantee that these items are safe. The frier is “usually” chips but also could include an occasional item with gluten. I’ve not gotten sick before but as we know with celiac the reaction isn’t always immediate. Downright dangerous.

They had a dedicated fryer for chips. Waitress wasn’t sure but then went back and confirmed from the kitchen that did. Food was good. Didn’t get sick.
