Mario's Mexican Food & Cantina

Mario’s DOES have a gluten free menu, but you need to ask for it. I usually order the “bowl” which is beans, rice, cheese and either chicken or beef. I have also had their soft tacos which were good.

Staff was extremely familiar with gluten issues. They have a gluten free menu, but they explicitly do not guarantee lack of cross contamination, however. Tacos are cooked on foil to prevent contamination. Food was yummy!

so I live very close here you can get grilled chicken soft taco and the rice is safe. that's it for celiac. the chips don't have there own frier! hope this helps;) I still talk to manager every time;)

Decent at best food, poor GF prep, had to ask for the manager and she had limited knowledge of the menu.

Celiac friendly?

No

I am really sick and tired of uneducated restaurants. I called because I wanted to confirm the chips (I am just a freak and like to hear it myself). I asked the girl who answered the phone if they have anything gf, and she says, "ummm no, everything pretty much has gluten." I basically called her out on it saying that there were reviews stating that people had been there gf. I hate that companies put forth ZERO effort to educate their staff. I may have been rude, but this just seems shocking to me. NEVER will I eat here.

They only got 4 stars because they did not understand what gluten was but happily answered all of my questions. Their chips are 100% corn and are fried in lard which is not the healthiest but they taste amazing and are as gluten free as it gets (nothing else is fried in this oil...I mean lard). You can order pretty much anything on the menu with corn tortillas as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
