They have their menu marked as gluten-free or gluten-free request, so that’s really great. If you ask for gluten-free chips, still bring you out and sealed bag that is gluten-free safe. It wasn’t my favorite Mexican / Tex-mex food, but it has been around a long time and is popular and it was nice to have a safe meal.
Delicious mexican food! Lots of options. Did not get sick.
Not much else going add that others haven't said! If you're looking for basic TexMex but a ton of options, check this location out!

The menu is clearly marked GF and most things on the menu can be made GF. The normal chips they bring as are not GF (cooked in shared fryer) but if you ask they will bring out GF chips in a bag for you. Have some GF dessert options as well. The only reason I’m giving it four stars is because it was a little spicy to my preference, but the experience and options were great!
Maudie’s had patient servers, and could make almost anything on the menu gluten free! Our server was knowledgeable and chill, got us our own unopened bag of gluten free chips, and answered any questions we had. I order the Strait Plate gluten free, three loaded beef enchiladas with fried eggs on top. My partner got grilled shrimp fajitas and black beans. They even have a couple of gluten free deserts to choose from and in house ice cream <3
100% recommend!!! We’ll be back.
Excellent service, my celiac son loved having restaurant fajitas and chips.
This place is great! Came here twice on my visit. It was so nice to be able to enjoy texmex Celiac safe! They have special chips that come pre-packaged that are safe. Waiters are knowledgeable about gluten and cc! I got the fajitas with corn tortillas. Amaze!
Maudie’s was good with understanding the gluten free needs of a person with celiac. Just make sure the server knows your needs and they will accommodate! She brought out a bag of pre packaged chips since the normal ones they serve are in a shared fryer. I had the chicken powerbowl and had no reaction! Definitely a safe place for someone with celiac.
So amazingly delicious and safe. Totally brought me my own Chips from a bag that was safe. The fajitas were cooked in a separate area and were delicious.
Maudie's is fabulous for gluten allergies. They have separate chips in bags from an outside vendor that are 100% gluten free as opposed to in house ones that are in a shared fryer. I almost always get the fajitas, and they are amazing.
Great food and service. GF chips were brought out in a sealed bag. Server was knowledgeable about GF options. We will definitely be returning!
Gluten free options marked on the menu and server was knowledgeable about cross contamination, options, and modifications. Gave me chips in a sealed bag and my own salsa. I got the chicken fajitas over greens and it was delicious!
They were super attentive to me informing them that I had celiac disease. Chips came out in a sealed bag, waiter asked all the right questions. I felt safe eating there and had no issues after the meal. Would definitely eat here again.
Yummy Tex-Mex and celiac friendly. You can request a separate packaged bag of GF chips when they bring out the chips and salsa. My daughter ordered some GF tacos, and the waiter asked if she wanted crispy or soft tacos. She replied crispy, but then he came back a minute later to ask her if soft was ok because the crispy ones weren’t fried in a dedicated fryer. Was nice to see that the kitchen was paying attention to those details! Had a great meal and my very sensitive celiac daughter felt comfortable eating there and did not get sick.
One of the best and most celiac friendly restaurants I have ever been too! They’re also very friendly for shellfish allergies.
Pretty good Tex Mex food. Had the appetizer dip trio and enjoyed the guacamole and the queso, not so much the bean dip. Make sure to ask for GF chips - they come in a separate bag. I had the chili cheese enchiladas and the rice/beans, which were pretty good.
Maudies is the absolute best. The food is fantastic, the prices are pretty inexpensive, and the gluten free menu options are endless. The gluten free items are marked on their menu and it seems like most of the menu is/can be gluten free. The staff is super knowledgeable. They bring a sealed GF bag of chips for you by request. It’s rare now that I’m gluten free to go to a place and be overwhelmed (in a good way) by the number of options. The food is sooooo good, GF or not. My goal is to try something new every time we go there! I feel completely safe eating there and will continue to be a regular customer because of that and the great staff. Maudies, you’re my favorite!
We got the fajitas without cheese and sour cream so DF/GF.
Menu is well marked with gluten free and gluten alternative. They were very helpful when it came to ordering.
They also had GF chips that were brought out and sealed so you knew they weren’t the normal ones.
Maudie’s Too has a really nice outdoor patio. On a hot summer day the breeze blowing through was really nice, but the noise from the cars was a bit much. I am a celiac and had read the previous reviews on here. When we went, I asked right away for gluten free chips and we got them. We ordered the appetizer trio and enjoyed the thin and crispy chips that come out in a plastic bag that you open and pour into a bowl yourself, which was nice. Queso was a little cold, guac was spicy, and “spicy” bean dip was a bit bland. I am the kind of person who just enjoys all food, so still a 3 stars. I ordered the veggie fajitas. They did not come out on the steaming tray as usual :/ but the mushrooms and onions were exceptional. Also came with a plate of delicious fresh tomato salsa (definitely a highlight) and other taco toppings. The real highlight was the tortillas that were white corn and the best corn tortillas I’ve ever had. I even double checked with our server when I saw them because I figured they had to be wheat. But they were corn, and so soft and delicious. I enjoyed the fajitas overall, friend got cheese enchiladas and both were a solid 4 stars. Overall comments: waiter was a little brusque, kind of a hit or miss, but was helpful and did answer all questions I asked. I felt safe, or else I would have left. Food was good and I didn’t get sick. Definitely worth a try.
Pretty good- waiter brought gf chips in a package and almost everything is modifiable.
One of the best GF places I’ve ever eaten at! Servers were very understanding. Brought me my own GF chips. Our table was splitting to orders of fajitas and they brought out one of them gluten-free for me. Menu shows what items are or can be made gluten-free. I was very impressed and didn’t get sick. Definitely recommend!
I was disappointed to see that someone said Maudie’s wasn’t Celiac Friendly... I’m extremely sensitive and they are my go to place! And I have never gotten sick there. Then I read that the poster said he ate the chips they put on the table ASSUMING they were GF! I don’t eat anything without verifying that it is gluten free! This place brings you GF chips in a bag to insure there is no chance of cross contamination and you don’t think that is good enough? Thank you Maudie’s for going above and beyond, because we all know a dedicated fryer is only safe until someone drops a breaded food item into it!
Lots of gf options. They will bring you special gf chips in a sealed bag. There were three of us celiacs in our group and none of us got sick.
I didn't get sick, it's got a lot of gluten free options, but I don't know why this place is so popular. The food was nothing special, disappointing in fact. With all the great food I've had while visiting Austin, I'm a bit bummed I wasted a meal on this place.
I'm a celiac and this place is the real deal. The food is excellent and they really take care of gluten free customers, including celiacs. They have separate GF chips, and food done in a dedicated area. You may have limited menu options, but the food is so good, you won't care. I got the appetizer sampler and the bowl and I was in heaven.
Maudie's is my go to Mexican restaurant. They have the biggest menu and a separate area for gluten free. You do need to ask for chips which will be brought out in a bag, but the wait staff is very knowledgeable. I usually get enchiladas or fajitas. The margaritas are also delicious.
The separate bag for the chips is great. Extensive GF menu. Didn't get sick :)
DO NOT GO THERE IF YOU ARE GLUTEN FREE!!!!!
We went there after finding them on Find Me Gluten Free. I specifically wanted to go because they said they had undergone special training and were certified gluten free. When the waitress approached us, I immediately asked for a gluten free menu. In the meantime, someone brought us chips and salsa which I immediately started eating, When the waitress returned with our menus, she said she would now bring us gluten free chips. When I asked about the chips that had already been served to us, she said "they have a little bit of gluten." WTF....for someone who is celiac there is no such thing as "a little bit" being okay. The manager came over and basically said that it was our fault because people usually announce they are gluten free before they ever sit down. Again, WTF. I tried to explain what a huge issue this was and that they need to change their procedure (putting gluten chips down at a place that is certified gluten-free), but she just didn't get it. She just kept saying we should have told her before we sat down. She did say that it was a cross contamination issue not an ingredient issue, but we chose to leave anyway. There is so much gluten free tex options in Austin, don't take a chance with this place, We ended up at Torchy's tacos and had the best tacos of our lives.
Awesome !!!!! They brought me my own chips , my own separate salsa, and bowl for gucamole !!!! Staff is knowledgeable and helpful in doing the best they can to keep your gluten free stuff separate :)
GF menu, plenty of options. They also bring out GF chips in a sealed bag. Staff was knowledgeable.
My favorite Austin Tex-Mex before going GF, still my favorite. Staff is knowledgeable, GF chips are packaged specially, and the GF menu is lengthy. I always feel safe eating here.
great gf menu, really good food, and very aware staff. would recommend in a second.
Great good. Variety of options available. They give you your own bag of chips to guarantee no CC.
A new favorite of mine! Friendly and knowledge staff, even you chip come to you in a bag guaranteeing there is so cross contamination! Plus a pretty lengthy gluten free menu! Check em out!!

Great food, everything is labeled. They bring out bagged chips for their gluten free friends.
I’ve eaten here so many times and have always had a good experience here! They have gluten free chips and tons of gf options on the menu. They always take precautions very seriously.
We stopped here for a weekday lunch after visiting the wildflower center. I loved having so many options to choose from - I had a minor panic when my husband ordered the same enchilada meal as me, but not GF… our server assured me that mine would be brought out separately from the rest of the family’s. That didn’t happen, but the runner seemed to know which plate was which, and my husband confirmed he had flour tortillas and mine were corn. Despite that panic, other safety protocols were great - I got my own GF chips, in a sealed bag, and the family said they were better than the regular chips. Food was all great.
We eat here all the time with my celiac daughter and she’s never gotten sick. They have wrapped gluten free chips and are very careful with her dishes. One of our favorite places to eat as a family!
Simply the best GF Mexican Restaurant! From the separate GF chips which are fantastic with the salsa to the GF fajitas or enchiladas!
