Uncle Julio's

They had soy sauce and wheat in unexpected places and foods. It would be best to skip this place if you have celiac as the food you can have is quite limited and if you didn’t specifically ask you would probably order something you thought was safe and end up getting gluten poisoned.

Also chips are corn but fried in same fryers as wheat items so they are a no go for people with celiac

I had the nachos. They were good and a nice portion size. Not your typically mound of nachos that you couldn’t never finish yourself! I did not get sick. I love Margaritas and these were nothing to be excited about.

This place is not gluten free. Lots of cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

Waiter was super helpful and immediately went down another path when I said I was actually allergic. He mentioned some areas of potential cross contamination so there is some awareness. Got the chicken Cobb salad with no seasoning on the chicken, no tortilla strips, beans, or corn for AIP. Added sliced jicama at no extra charge and he changed the dressing to the vinaigrette to make it gluten free. Overall I was surprised at how easy and good it was. Didn’t get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve been fine with the fajitas as long as I order it with corn tortillas and the tacos too. We come here all of the time and I haven’t gotten sick yet. My friend who is also celiac has also been fine. I hope I haven’t jinxed myself now.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I truly don't know how this place made it to FMGF, it should be removed. They have only one menu item that *might* be gf - fajitas and it is served without veg or seasoning because it all has gluten. So a small, bland serving of sliced chicken AND it costs more than $20.

Celiac friendly?

No

it is not gluten free. only one thing on the item is gluten free. don't go here. it should be taken off the ap.

Celiac friendly?

No

Was told what was "gluten friendly" by the manager and then server told me different. There isn't much that is safe on the menu and I didn't feel comfortable eating anything so watched as others ate.

Celiac friendly?

No

Super amazing staff, I had looked up the menu ahead of time (we were in a large group), and when I ordered the server helped me adjust my order. He came back later and pointed out a correction too. I felt SO comfortable eating here. Service all around was great too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a GF "menu" which was a list of how a server modifies food to put in the system. Not a lot of options. Initial food came out wrong but they caught it. Was ok but would not eat there if I had a choice

Truly awful experience here. They now do have a GF menu, but it is extremely limited and every dish on it requires significant modifications. I tried to keep it simple and ordered two chicken tacos on corn tortillas. My plate came out with Mexican rice on it. As that contains gluten and it was touching the tacos, the whole plate had to be remade which took 25 minutes. My family was done eating their meals by the time mine came out and when it did, it was just corn tortillas, plain unseasoned chicken and hot sauce. Even the manager said, “we weren’t sure what you could you have so we gave you some hot sauce”. Really?! Felt like I was back in 1993. Get with it, Unlce Julio’s!!!! Based on this fact and many, many other mistakes the kitchen and my server made, I will never return.

this place is fine if you avoid the chips but there are limited offerings - you can email them for the list of limited gf menu offerings. These seem to change fairly often (they have updated their menu a few times in the last few years) but usually it’s ceviche, fajitas without marinades,salads without the taco shell etc. I posted a screenshot of their email from November 2023 with the gf offerings at the time and what could be modified to be gf. I do not get sick here but I’m not adventurous when I order here.

As a big uncle Julio’s fan prior to celiac diagnosis, it was disheartening to find out they have zero gluten free options. Everything is marinated in soy sauce and no dedicated fryer for chips.
