Pappasito's Cantina

Requested gluten free menu. Advised waitress and hostess that I had a gluten allergy. Placed chips on the table with salsa while taking drink order. Margaritas are not gluten free. Manager came to make sure everything was good before food came out. She advised the chips are not gluten free as they share a fryer with other gluten items. They have baked chips that are gluten free, but aren’t great. I got the chicken fajitas with rice and charro beans. The rest of the meal was fine. Since I had been eating the chips not knowing they could be cross contaminated, I stopped eating chips/ salsa all together. Had no idea the chips were fried or that they could contain gluten! I honestly only go there for the chips and fajitas. So disappointing.

When we informed the waitress that we had two in our party who were gluten free, they supplied us with gluten free menus, and were very knowledgeable on what was gluten free. They supplied us with fresh salsa and gluten free chips. Additionally, the manager came out to verify what we ordered and informed the kitchen of the allergy. They told us gloves and utensils would be changed so there was no cross contamination. Very accommodating and definitely helpful!

Had a separate GF menu and our server had a manager check in with me as well. The GF chips aren’t great, but it was nice they offered them. My food was amazing.

I’ll modify this when they get new chips. Harris and Pete Pappas should be ashamed of the baked gluten free corn chips. They taste like cardboard and the staff acknowledges this.

They had a gf menu with a lot of options and the waiter seemed knowledgeable. However, they brought out enchiladas with flour tortillas. I confirmed with the different waitress who brought them out that they were gf, and she said she didn't think so. She brought them back and a manager came to talk to us and said our waiter hadn't entered the meal as gluten free. They brought a new dish that was absolutely delicious and didn't have us pay for my meal.

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.
