Out here for a conference and needed a fun place to grab a bite to eat and between the reviews and their menu, this one looked like a winner and it absolutely was. It’s clearly a place locals love and our waitress was knowledgeable on what could be made gluten free and what could not. Marked it as such on my order so the kitchen team knew to take extra precautions too. Definitely would recommend popping by. I had the Vallarta Del Mar and it was super tasty!

We have been dining Gluten Free with celiac disease at Rio Mambo in south Fort Worth almost weekly since 2010. They have always been very careful and accommodating. Of course, some servers are more knowledgeable than others, but most servers do know how to take your order and mark it "gluten free" for the kitchen. They are updating their menu, so hard to get a hold of one of their marked up gluten free menus at this time, so ask for a manager. It has easily been the most reliably safe place for our family of 3 celiacs (1 who is very sensitive) to eat and not get sick for over a decade. Their regular table corn chips and the large rectangular ones served with some appetizers are all corn and are safe.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. The chips have their own frier and all meals they will let you know what is gluten free which is a lot! We had a great experience and will definitely be back!

The staff was not knowledgable that I dealt with last night, but I had a teaching moment with my waitress. She said they are not trained at all about gluten free and she said a lot of them do not know what it is... Including her. Food really wasn't that good compared to other Mexican restaurants that offer gf! Pretty pricey as well for their quality of good.

food is very good, gluten free menu is nice and staff seem very knowledgeable. waiter brought food to table and saw something he didn't like. he immediately took the plate back and brought me a new plate of food.

excellent!

First time I ate here and ordered gf, it was good. No reaction. Second time- had a reaction. I imagine it was cc or maybe something got in the friers. Or maybe the queso? I don’t know. I ordered off the gf menu and ordered the same thing both times but only reacted one time. Third and fourth time here- no reaction.

Hostess said she has several GF customers who order the fajitas. She said refried beans and chips are ok. Also recommended the veg-chalada. If diet sensitive to cross contamination she recommended the veggies instead of rice and beans.

She said they fry chips on site in dedicated fryer and have separate grills if you let them know.

They have a gluten free menu which basically just lists the sauce options at the top of each section.

They have a large gluten free menu. Lots of options for me. The food was fresh, enjoyed the queso blanco very much. The fish tacos were good. I am very sensitive to any cross contamination. I waited nearly 24 hours before writing a review. No issues, and I will definitely go back. So happy to find a safe option in Weatherford.

They no longer have a GF menu, but based on the version I found online, I have ordered the Tacos Camarones twice and did not seem to have a problem. Once I ordered via door dash and another at the restaurant and asked the waiter to have the staff change their gloves, I don’t know if they did or not.
