Salsas Mexican Restaurant

Don’t go here if you’re gluten sensitive. Manager seemed knowledgeable about gluten in their food and said basically everything has gluten because the seasonings they use contain gluten. Even the cheese is mixed with flour to prevent sticking. 😖 could only offer me an unseasoned chicken breast, corn tortillas or a salad without cheese. Surprisingly the chips are safe because they are fried in a separate fryer. Salsas he said are safe, but did mention it had chicken broth in it (my Mexican grandmother is rolling over in her grave!). In addition to most food being off limits, the restaurant also seems reluctant to work with people who are gluten sensitive. There are seriously simple ways to accommodate folks like us if they are willing. A little effort would have been appreciated.

Staff warned all sauces have a gluten base including salsas, red and green. Fajitas were very good with corn soft taco shells. But 90% of menu has flour in some part of the meal. Good drinks

This should be taken off the app. The only things they can offer that are gluten free are beef or chicken fajitas seasoned with salt and pepper only and a side salad. Not the chips or salsas, not rice or beans. We did appreciate that the manager was knowledgeable and let us know about ingredients... In the end, we were able to request a cheese quesadilla on corn tortilla for my kids.

Celiac friendly?

No

Just went in and the only items that are GF are- unmarinated chicken or steak, corn tortillas, ceviche, and salad. We didn’t stay, so not sure how those tasted.

First time today, and it was great!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Chef came to talk to me and almost nothing is safe. Salsa, guacamole, everything has chicken base with gluten. Do not eat here if you want Mexican food. They did make me a chicken breast, Not marinated, plain that was tasteless.

Celiac friendly?

No

No GF menu so I was nervous to begin with. The waitress seemed knowledgeable and said the chips were in a dedicated fryer and the salsas were all GF. So after I dig into those, she brings our drinks, takes our order, etc. then comes back to say my fish tacos will have to be without the salsa because it isn’t GF. And I’m like whaaaat!!?! She says oh, yeah, it has soy sauce, sorry about that. So now I’m just waiting to see how sick I get. :(

Celiac friendly?

No

The staff was very knowledgeable, and you can pretty much transform any menu item to homemade corn tortillas!
