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.

The service was great. Server answered my questions re: gluten and was honest when he didn't know. My husband ordered guacamole and the server brought me corn tortillas on his own so I could have some guacamole, too. He also adjusted my order to eliminate chips and brought us an extra order of corn tortillas to take home for my leftovers.

I had the tableside guac with corn tortillas and a tex-mex omelet with potatoes and refried beans. My only wish is that they had GF pancakes, but the omelet was really good and the guac was fantastic.

Always love Lupe Tortilla. Asked the manager about the Chips and he said for the most part they are fired separately but there are rare occasions where flour gets fried in them. For desserts. For Celiac he recommended no, which was fine. I just ordered some corn tortillas which are incredible and had those with Quac before the steak Fajitas. One of the few TEX MEX with so many options. Love love Lupe

I just LOVE Lupe Tortilla. They are so quick, great service, and knowledgeable about GF living. All of the menu is gluten free except for flour tortilla meals. Their brunch is only served on the weekend, but you definitely need to make sure to stop in! The puffy taco and cheese enchilada are my favorite items. Their queso and salsa is to die for & they have GOBS of adult drink options. It is a *little* pricey but it is worth every penny!

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.

Lupe Tortilla was AMAZING! Everything on the menu is gf except flour tortillas! The staff were super helpful and knowledgeable! You can eat enchiladas, fajitas, tacos and more. So many favorites you often can’t get elsewhere. And so flavorful! They make homemade corn tortillas which are fabulous!!

OUTSTANDING! This is THE BEST gluten free Tex-Amex I have ever had. The only things that are not GF in the whole restaurant are the flour tortillas, which are made in a separate location. At a lot of places, if you need your proteins GF, that means they leave off the marinade, which means you are served a fairly plain chicken or steak for your fajitas. I still enjoy that, BUT, I had forgotten how wonderful it is to enjoy a deliciously marinated Tex-Mex fajita platter.

Lupe Tortilla’s chicken fajitas are the best I have ever had. The refried beans are ridiculously delicious. Their home made corn tortillas are soft and pliable and just wonderful.

A must visit in San Antonio, Austin, wherever there is a Lupe Tortola!!

This will be a go to restaurant, we loved it. Me and my daughter have never had that many GF options on a normal menu. There was no trouble with cross contamination.

Do not go here. I was misinformed about the chips after asking the waiter if they were GF and have no cross contamination with gluten. Waiter came 5 minutes into me eating the chips saying that they don’t have a dedicated fryer. It appears that the first manager doesn’t know about gluten allergies while a second manager does.

Everything is gluten free except the flour tortillas. This place has some bomb tacos. Maybe try the fajitas too. Really like this place. Get a Topo Chico sparkling water with lime to really set it off. It’s nice to go somewhere and eat Mexican food like a normal person.

The food is fabulous, but I am really bothered with not being able to eat the chips at a Mexican restaurant. To me, that’s half the fun of eating there is enjoying chips and salsa prior to the meal arriving! When we ate there this week, the server told me that since the chips are fried in a shared fryer with the desserts that contain gluten, they are not considered safe for allergy or celiac. :( bummer!
