Chips were a no go. Ate a salad and still had a bit of a tummy ache the day after. Wish the chips were GF!
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!!
The corn tortillas are NOT gluten free according to the Nima sensor. The tortilla chips tested gluten free.

Server was not knowledgeable about gluten free. Had to go ask manager what that was. No chips, had to ask over and over if things were safe.
Great service! They had gluten free options for the food.
Server was knowledgeable and provide service that resulted in no contamination. Fresh corn tortillas were amazing.
NOT the same as the other Lupe Tortilla’s! Same company name but different menu, FAR fewer options here than the other locations. The kitchen manager said this location is not owned by the same person as the other locations (father vs son)?? So they don’t have the same menu
It’s VERY confusing. According to the kitchen manager my only options were Fajitas & queso. No enchiladas. No soft tacos. No soup. Etc. very frustrating
This location handles gluten free differently than locations in Houston. Beware that the enchilada sauces are not gluten free, and they do not mark gf items on their menu.
