I have come here 3 times and have been fine each time. I LOVE the chips, salsa & guac and I get the chicken enchilada. The first time I ordered here they took off the green sauce but the last 2 I’ve eaten the green sauce and been fine. Not sure if it has gluten in it or not (I was told it does but I’m fine?) regardless I love this place!!

I do wish there was GF markings on the menu and more clarification about shared friers HOWEVER I really loved my experience here! Excellent service. Best in Nova. My glass was never empty, everyone was kind and they wiped the table after we ate our chips. Food was delicious. No signs of illness. I’ll be back

My meal was a little unremarkable, but the chips were very good, and in spite of the language barrier, I felt safe.

I've dined here three times now and feel confident that they understand how to make gluten free food and prevent cross-contact. The wait staff's verbal communication about preventing cross-contact has varied but they all seemed to understand gluten free.

This is the best Tex-Mex food I’ve had since I left Austin Texas years ago. The gluten-free corn chips were to die for. I ordered ground beef enchiladas, refried beans, and Mexican rice and it all tasted wonderful! It’s been about six hours after my meal and there’s been no negative reaction. They can also make some items dairy free. Highly recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Rango's Tex-Mex & Grill, and I cannot express how grateful I am for their dedication to accommodating gluten-free diners. As someone with a gluten sensitivity, finding restaurants that take this dietary requirement seriously can be a challenge, but Rango's truly exceeded my expectations.

From the moment we walked in, the staff at Rango's were not only friendly and attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable about gluten-free options. They made us feel comfortable and assured us that they could provide a safe and enjoyable dining experience.

One of the most remarkable aspects of our visit was the extensive gluten-free menu. It's not often that you come across a Tex-Mex restaurant with such a wide array of gluten-free choices. From appetizers to entrees and even dessert, Rango's had it all covered. We started with the gluten-free chips and queso, which were absolutely delicious and didn't make me miss the regular tortilla chips at all.

For our main courses, we tried the gluten-free fajitas and enchiladas. The flavors were outstanding, and it was evident that Rango's takes great care to ensure that their gluten-free dishes are just as flavorful as the regular ones. The use of fresh ingredients and authentic spices made our meal a true Tex-Mex delight.

What truly sets Rango's apart is their commitment to preventing cross-contamination. They have a separate kitchen area and utensils for preparing gluten-free meals, which made me feel safe and confident in my dining choice. It's clear that they take this aspect seriously, and it's a relief for those of us with gluten sensitivities.

To top off our meal, we indulged in gluten-free chocolate lava cake, which was the perfect ending to an already fantastic dining experience. It's not often that you find gluten-free dessert options that are this delicious.

In conclusion, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Rango's Tex-Mex & Grill for going above and beyond to cater to gluten-free diners like myself. Your dedication to providing safe, tasty, and diverse gluten-free options is truly commendable. Dining out can sometimes be a source of anxiety for those with dietary restrictions, but Rango's made it an enjoyable and worry-free experience. I'll definitely be returning to savor more of your gluten-free delights!
