Mamacita's

Gluten free menu is not accurate as the steak fries are cooked in a shared fryer(but on the GF Menu). They were not aware that would be a contaminate for gluten. On my visits to Kerrville I have had the same conversation with several managers and each were surprised and told me they weren’t aware that a shared fryer was not gluten free. I have loved mamacitas in the past, but can’t trust gluten allergen knowledge to feed my son.

There are about 5 or 6 options on the gf menu. Our waitress was sure to inform the kitchen but really didn’t seem to “get it.” Manager brought the box of chips out for me to check ingredients. I appreciated that but it does seem like they don’t get this question a lot. Had the carnitas and they were DELICIOUS!! And super yummy Mexican martinis 😋 Feel fine a day later so all was well.

I was told the chips were in a dedicated fryer.

There was a very small selection. See picture of menu. I had the chicken salad, it was decent, but I’m a food snob, especially Mexican food. The chicken was okay, the lettuce was the shredded stuff you would find on a taco. The chips and salsa were good, the green salad is a weird color green because of the sour cream but the taste was good.

My gluten full family had the beef and cheese enchiladas. Again, we are food snobs so these enchiladas were average. But it seems to be a hit with the locals and the building/decorations are outstanding.

Came because someone said the waiters would work with you on the menu. Our waiter, while very kind, was firm in the stance that their separate menu was all they had. When I tried to order a salad off the gf menu, I was given all the dressing options, but when I asked which were gluten free he first told me all the dressings had gluten. I asked why the salad would even be on the gluten free menu, so he went to the kitchen to check. My choices ended up being fat free ranch or oil and vinegar. I ended up ordering a side of charro beans. I’ve never struggled like this at a Mexican restaurant before so I just wanted to warn anyone else passing through that this place is definitely a tricky one if you can’t order directly off of their gf menu.

They have a gluten free menu, but other items are gluten free if you talk it out with them.

The chicken fajitas can be made gluten free if you ask them (cooked separately).

The rice and refried beans are also gluten free. I’m not sure why they’re not on the gluten free menu.

The corn tortillas can be gluten free if you ask them to be (they cook them on a safe part of the grill and not the area where the flour tortillas are made).

The chips are NOT gluten free.

Also my meal was enough for TWO people. It was awesome to have enough food for dinner one night and lunch the next.

And I am VERY sensitive to cross contamination and didn’t have any issues.

Very few gluten free items. Nothing a la carte

Limited gluten free menu, but... Safe chips! Safe green sauce and salsa! Safe beans and rice! Just make sure to let your server know, of course. I have Celiac and was able to eat here. No side effects so far.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF menu on table. Server was knowledgeable and showed me how he rang it in as GF. Ordered the shrimp brochette and it was delicious.

Not a huge GF menu but plenty of variety.

While the gluten free menu is really limited I felt confident that it was safe. The manager came over to our table to answer questions. We wanted to order something without gluten ingredients that wasn’t on the gluten free menu and he explained the risk of cross contact if we went off-menu which was very helpful and showed he understood what he was talking about. If you’re not celiac and not concerned about cross contact you will have more choices but there are several safe things and they seemed conscientious and careful.

It’s always very easy to eat GF here! I always ask for corn tortillas and I’ve never had any issues with grilled meat and shrimp. They also just added a GF menu on the table.

Very limited gf menu but clearly visible in a separate menu on each table. I asked about the chips and was told they are gf, but the nachos are not which made me concerned about the chips so I skipped those.
