While Zapatista has a gluten free menu the waitstaff is not knowledgable so dine with caution. I ordered the enchalidas which were makred gluten free. I also advised the server of my allergy emphasizing that I get very ill with gluten contamination. He assured me my meal would be gluten free. It arrived with enchalidas and the mexican rice. It wasn't until I became ill after eating that I discovered the mexican rice is not gluten free. To determine this you must look at the menu under sides and to be fair to Zapatista it is not marked as gluten free. However, there is no notation on the individual dishes that come with these sides to avoid them or substitute. While, I take blame for not being more vigilent in my examination of the menu, I am frustrated that the waitstaff was not more knowledgable about what dishes were in fact gluten free. The food was good but not worth the next few days where I will be suffering intense pain.
