Raul's Family Mexican Restaurant

I loved Raul’s before I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and I was so happy to find out they have a ton of Celiac-safe options. One of their employees, who often takes my order, also has CD so I feel extra confident they know what they’re doing.

This was so wonderful. The staff was also wonderful. The menu very clearly labels the gluten free items and they have a lot of options. I had lunch here after having my car broken into the day before my 30th birthday and it was the high point of my day. I would recommend this place regardless of whether or not your birthday week was ruined by some &$?!head with no morals.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The menu was very clear what was gluten free and what wasn’t, but the food itself was not that good. Also our waiter was extremely rude when we had any questions about the menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So yummy! Immediately after we were seated, I asked the waiter if the chips were GF and he knew they were and went far enough as to say they were cooked in a dedicated fryer. The food was great, lots of choices and they noted that I had a gluten “allergy” and gave me white rice and black beans. So good. I’ve been craving Mexican food since is was diagnosed and haven’t found anything safe for me until now.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff is so knowledgeable of all the ingredients and truly make such delicious food. Great spot for family dining and they’re so polite! Love this place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love that all the sauces and chips are gluten free! I've been missing the special sauce in Arroz Con Pollo. I get it made with the regular salsa at Si Senior, but Rauls tastes like the real thing! Just make sure you mention GF and get white rice at both places!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Eaten here many times with no problems! Much of the menu is GF and the staff are great at knowing the options. The chips are GF! Good-sized portions and delicious. Make sure you get the white rice though.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of gf offerings. I got zapped pretty good though (celiac). Assuming the chips—couldn’t get straight answer regarding shared fryer due to language barrier(?). Just kept being told “gluten free” in response to my questions. Also had the Carne Asada. Labeled gf on menu and noticed my rice was different than non-gf husband’s rice. Nothing else eaten prior that day w/any risk of gluten or cross-contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

knowledgeable & friendly staff, dedicated fryer so chips are safe & delicious food. I have Celiac and have never gotten sick, though there is always a risk of cross contamination when there is gluten in the kitchen.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Decided to try this place based on reviews. I was not disappointed! Out server was very knowledgeable of what was gluten free and I didn’t feel even the tiniest bit sick after. The owner notified us that they just switched to all gfree sauces, although the menu hadn’t been updated yet. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but this restaurant is a hidden gem. Wonderfully decorated, efficient staff, and delicious food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff seemed very knowledgeable and the food was great. It was nice to have a place to go that is close and is old school Mexican food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We have eaten here numerous times now with several Celiac and Human Enzyme Tissue Transglutaminase folks...all loved it and all came away without side-effects. Try the Molcahete - soooo yummy.

Above average food. Good service. Good prices.

Ate here today and it was delicious. I have celiac and am severely allergic to gluten. The restaurant was very knowledgeable about gluten and I didn't get sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

You must go here. Now. Nice staff, fantastic food. If I had to have a complaint, it's that there is no physical bar. They have all the bar ingredients (excellent margaritas)... it's just that I frequently eat alone, so I would prefer a bar. I got the fajitas and they were outstanding. Amazing food, excellent service. Lots and lots of GF options. Seriously, go now.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great service. Very GF knowledgeable. Will come here every time I'm in Portland!

Always excellent food. Their menu clearly identifies which items are gluten free. The owner is working towards making the menu all gluten free except for flour tortillas. Service is friendly and efficient.

Lots of choices clearly marked on their menus. Excellent food and service. Be sure to tell them you're gluten free when you order. Both my son and I had delicious dishes and didn't get sick! We will definitely be back.

excellent!!!
