Pappasito's Cantina

I ordered the fajitas with corn tortillas, beans and rice and had no reaction. Not the most delicious food in the world, but it was filling and warm and safe.

Food menu is very limited, I think there was about five or six entrees and a few sides, like beans and rice. The drink menu took up a whole page though! Haha.

They have a GF menu with a handful of options. The cheese enchiladas were amazing and waitress was very helpful. She confirmed when the food came that mine was gluten free. They do have gluten free tortilla chips but they were not good. Overall a great experience!!!

My son (celiac) really enjoyed his enchiladas. They had a little marker in the plate to signal food allergy.

They do have different GF chips you can ask for but he said they weren’t that good.

Great experience overall.

I came here because I saw they had good review on the app. They offer separate baked chips that are gluten allergy/celiac safe, you just have to request them. I got the chicken enchilada and it was delicious!!! I had no fear eating here and I felt fine after (besides the mutual feeling we all feel after eating Mexican food ahhahaha).

Excellent experience. We told the waitress I have a gluten allergy, which is easier than explaining celiac. They brought me gluten free chips, modified the guacamole appetizer to be gluten free, and made our entree gluten free. The manager came out to tell me she knew about the allergy and to ensure me the kitchen was taking necessary precautions. Amazing!

Zach the manager made sure to meet each of the 5 people with celiac in our group upon arriving. They had a gluten free menu and chips that were baked to avoid the oil cross contamination. After ordering Zach came back out to confirm what each of the 5 had ordered to double check the information the server had told him and to oversee the process in the kitchen. The experience was so great that we returned the next night as well. And our experience was almost exactly the same the second visit with a new server. Both servers were top notch and took care to communicate with management and each of our diners. Although I am sure there is turn over, if you let the server know if you have cross contamination issues, if the manager comes over to talk with you then I think you will happily eat there with no trouble. Big kudos to Pappasitos at this location. I am impressed and felt so safe.

After reading the other reviews, I was a little nervous and ordered cautiously, and had the salmon mango salad. The waiter had the manager talk to me and my son (who can eat gluten but not dairy) and we had a great experience. Those who are dairy free should know that the flour tortillas contain dairy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Waitress and manager thought gluten free was an egg allergy. Nice to have options, but make sure your servers understand celiacs can’t have gluten!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great menu! Great food! Good service!

This place is hit or miss when it comes to eating safely. The first time I ate here was great. My food came out with a "GF" label and the manager came to check on me when my food was served. The following two times I came here the staff didn't really seem knowledgeable or particularly concerned, they gave me the wrong tortillas from the grill, and nobody oversaw that my food was actually prepared properly. I've been sickened here twice.

very good food! the waiter said that they have a separate preparation space for gluten free food and take extra precaution to avoid cross contamination.

they have baked chips as a gluten free option!

i recommend the chicken fajitas which come with soft corn tortillas

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Waiter was knowledgeable and gave me confidence that they could handle my extreme celiac gluten sensitivity. I had the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. I ordered the enchiladas and baked chips. Really, really good. Big portion! I enjoyed my experience and did not get sick. Thumbs up!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten-Free but Greasy This busy downtown location does have a separate GF menu, special handling in the kitchen and GF meals come marked with a little wooden stake. Know that their regular chips are NOT GF. They have baked chips that you have to ask for and they are different, not very delicious. There is variety on the menu. I had the enchilada meal with beans and rice, all of which were greasy and what I considered fast-food quality.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have eaten here numerous times and never been sick. They have a gluten free menu and they have baked chips. the food comes with a little gluten free stick most times and if not i just confirm. i have eaten at other locations and been just fine and i am very sensitive.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Got very sick after eating here. Waitress didn't understand my request for gluten free menu items.

Celiac friendly?

No

Make sure to ask for a Gluten Free menu. The chips that are served to all customers are NOT gluten free. Ask a manager for gluten-free chips, salsa, and fajita meat. Don't assume the food is gluten free.

Great food and service to match.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu has a fair amount of options and my meal arrived with a little wooden marker that said "gluten free".

Better yet, the customer service here was absolutely incredible. I asked for my chicken enchilada to be prepared without onions but there must've been a miscommunication about just onions as topping vs. onions throughout the dish.

The manager came over and explained that that was the only chicken enchilada that was gluten free and that they would be able to send out another with the onions skimmed out but that onions were used in the base preparation throughout.

Everyone was very knowledgeable and helpful to ensure I didn't have a gluten reaction and that my distaste for onions were accommodated. At a Mexican restaurant! Great staff, beautiful location, and delicious food - what more could you ask for?!

My boyfriend ordered the beef brisket enchilada and said it was delicious. I'll be back.

The separate menu was very good and my shrimp fajitas were very good. Our server was knowledgeable and we had a very good dinner here.

They do have a gluten free menu with several choices although when my lunch arrived the tortillas looked very light in color - like flour. I asked the server to verify that my plate was GF and he had no idea. He called the manager over and she stated "yes, we put the a sauce on the side because it has tomorrow's in it".... Yikes! Eventually it was determined safe for me to eat. I can't speak to ill affects I took a glinted ease to clam my paranoia. Food was okay.

Celiac friendly?

No

There were no apparent measures taken. I ordered the Tequila Lime Salad w/o the chip strips. The service was awesome!

There was a separate gluten free menu. Our waitress addressed my questions and concerns. My food came out on a special plate with a sign indicating that it was gluten free. It was good and I did not feel ill afterwards and I am pretty sensitive.

We had the best experience here. They have a gluten free menu. When our waitress took our order and noticed my menu she said she would notify her manager. They were super careful my plate was even marked. I felt completely safe and actually normal. I was recently diagnosed so this was a huge deal!

Pleasantly surprised. They have a separate gluten free menu with a few apps, 5-6 entrees, and ice cream for dessert. They also made me gluten free chips and salsa, not made in same fryer. For my dinner I got cheese enchiladas which were delicious. The meals my family got ( not restricted) looked amazing. We had great server and the manager assured the kitchen would be attentive to avoid cross contamination. Also, the atmosphere is very cheerful and inviting. Had no reaction after eating there.
