Review of The Ranch at Las Colinas

*update12/22: much less gluten friendly than my previous experience. No longer have a gluten free menu, no items marked. I got steak and mashed potatoes after server went back to kitchen to confirm potato’s were still GF.

2019: I would expect everything here to be cross contam. That said, they do have a GF menu the manager printed out for me. The menu is a little confusing. For example, the Queso is listed as GF but you can’t have the corn tortilla chips with it. Or can you? Not sure. It’s listed as “Queso. No corn tortilla chips**. At the bottom of the menu the “**” just says all fried items are fried in the same oil. Why put this “**” if it is “No corn tortilla chips.” Maybe they are trying to say, you can have the chips, but they were fried in the same oil. Either way, it should say: “Queso (without chips)” or “Queso and corn tortilla chips** (with the cross contam explanation at the bottom). I assumed the tortilla chips were not GF and didn’t eat them.

I’m emphasizing this because a lot of the GF menu had these confusing explanations.

That being said, the food is amazing. All steaks are GF and our steak was delicious. Had it with mashed potatoes which were also GF. The GF menu explanations need work but the food is delicious.
