Very happy with server and food. They told me they cleaned surfaces in the kitchen before prepping my GF order and had a very knowledgeable server. Chips aren't GF due to a shares fryer, but there are many choices. Delicious.

Beware chips are not gluten free. The servers also did not have an allergen list. Seems like I you have celiac it's not a great option. Food is alright but seems likely that the kitchen and staff aren't careful enough to make it worth it

We had eaten at this restaurant in State College and had a great experience. This was equally good. Lots of choices and large portions. We had nachos grande, fajitas and enchiladas. Rice and beans. Great GF food.

Find GF and other allergen info here: https://madmex.com/menus/

I've been going to Mad Mex forever. Their food is amazing. It's hard to order the gf options online unless you do pickup, but ypu can ask for corn tortillas instead of flour on most things.

I'm very gluten sensitive and not fully celiac, and I will eat out of the shared fryer so I can't comment on what that experience is. But I've never had issues when I specify that I can't have any gluten ingredients.

Mad Mex has been a go to for years since I was first diagnosed. Menu isn’t always marked but staff is knowledgeable. Their main gluten item is wheat tortillas and they can easily substitute for corn. Their chips are pre packaged and are safe. I always know this is a safe and delicious place to eat!
