Miguel's Cocina

Got the tacos which were marked gluten free and I ended up get glutened slightly. They were knowledgeable about the chips being cooked in a shared fryer, but I would not recommend this place for celiacs.

Delicious food and many GF options. Chips were not fried in dedicated fryer, but server brought us corn tortillas to dip in salsa and queso. Very knowledgeable server.

This restaurant should not claim to be gluten free. The menu outlines modified gluten free or gluten free as is, but I was told everything was cross contaminated when I asked. I was served plain chicken, tomatoes, avocado, and white rice (no salsa, no guacamole, etc). Would not recommend. The meal was horrible.

Most of the menu says gluten free or can be modified to be made gluten free, but is not safe for celiac. They have a shared fryer so the chips and anything else fried is off limits, although labeled gf on the menu. I ordered tacos and the waitress was extremely knowledgeable about what’s gluten free and what wasn’t. She also made a note to clean the area and change gloves before I even could ask. Multiple tacos that were labeled gf actually were not. Thankfully, the manager looked over the order and came out to tell me that one of the sauces was thickened with flour

Absolutely not gluten free. Says items can be modified and gluten free on the menu and then when you order, steak can't be modified because it's pre-marinaded, seafood can't be modified even though it says it can on the menu. They don't have a separate fryer and can't cook anything separate. After waiting over an hour for food the waiter came and said basically nothing can be modified, and its not safe. Not sure why this place has so many "gluten" free options. Don't try to eat here if you're celiac.

Most items on the menu are gluten free or can be modified to be gluten free. Several can be made vegetarian as well.

The tortilla chips and hard shells are not gluten free as the frier is shared. The flavored rice is not gluten free, but they can substitute white rice.

The bartender put my food in as wheat allergy, but the woman that brought my food out asked if I was celiac. She informed me that the rice was not safe for me and that the hard shells were not either due to a shared fryer and had a new order made (the bartender was informed on the shared fryer for the tortilla chips. He was brought out back and educated on his mistake and how to properly input celiac into the ordering system).

The Ahi tacos were very good. I am rather sensitive to cross contamination and did well here (thanks to the woman that brought my food out). I have also only eaten here once.

The food was delicious. Unfortunately, I was glutened by cross contamination. My reaction was not severe enough to warrant a full blown wheat ingestion but enough that I know I was hit with something. I brought my own chips (after reading the fryer was not celiac safe) and ate from my own salsa. I ate a scoop of ceviche which was taken off the communal plate before anyone touched it and was delivered on a separate plate from the wheat tortilla chips. I ordered the adobada tacos on corn tortillas with the modified black beans and white rice substitutes everyone mentions which was marked gf on the menu. I was extremely careful but still got cross contaminated. The staff was friendly and accommodating and I don’t blame them for giving their best efforts but unfortunately, I cannot risk it again. This is always the risk whenever eating from a kitchen that serves any gluten products.

Gluten free falsely marked on menu. Ordered the gluten free option for the enchiladas rancheros for dinner tonight and told the server I have a “gluten allergy”. I got sick. Just called and was told the oil in the refried beans is cross contaminated and that I should have said I was celiac as there are only a few things I can eat. (Apparently they don’t take gluten allergies seriously there).The gluten free markers on the menu don’t really mean anything.

Love Miguel’s! Server was informed about celiac. Food is delicious. Agree with everyone else, don’t eat the chips, queso, refried beans, or Mexican rice if you are celiac with cross contamination issues. They have black beans and white rice they can give you instead. The server was the one who informed me all of this. The corn tortillas were the best I’ve had. Just a note, apparently the server needs to say celiac disease to the kitchen for the kitchen to know to do white rice and black beans rather than the other ones. Son didn’t have any issues after the meal here!

The menu is labeled GF or GF with modifications. There are mixed messages about the chips as they are cooked in a shared fryer. The corn tortillas were freshly made and everything we ordered was very tasty. The staff was knowledgeable and we felt safe eating here.

We asked about the gluten free menu and our wonderful server Ana knew everything about celiac and cross contamination! My son was able to confidently order something in a restaurant without anxiety and the dish was delicious! He had no reaction at all. He ordered carnitas and end everything was prepared separately.
