Staff very knowledgeable about GF options, and serving GF order first. Fajitas with corn tortillas were delicious and all sides were GF, including beans.

The food was amazing... I got the barbacoa Benedict and LOVED it! I had to take away some stars because the service was awful... mistake after mistake and lots of "misunderstandings" between us and both the server and the manager, and the server and manager blaming the misunderstandings on the kitchen, etc., 😅 Ultimately the manager paid for our side of guacamole 😅 But either way, even though it was cold by the time it came out, the food tasted good, and i didn't get sick, so that is what is most important for this app.

Got glutened from carne asada and a strawberry daiquiri. Tasty though. The server seemed to take allergies very seriously but apparently the kitchen didn't 🤷‍♀

Almost all the menu is gluten free except for the flour tortillas. You can ask for corn tortillas. Waiter was knowledgeable and the menu says it that the only thing is marked non gluten-free are the flour tortillas and the items that are made with it.

Best Tex-Mex restaurant in Houston!!! I love Lupe Tortilla because a) the bean dip & salsa are both gluten free and b) the beef fajitas are gluten free. Just make sure to order corn tortillas. I go to Lupe Tortilla a lot and have never had a problem eating here. I will say that while Lupe Tortilla has curbside pick-up, customers get more bang for their buck dining in - just grateful that Lupe is still serving during the pandemic for take-out.

I’m having to change my review since I no longer eat here because it’s not safe. They make the regular flour tortillas in house, so flour is on all surfaces and there’s no way to keep food gf.

My nutritionist advised me to go gluten-free since she senses I have an allergy. After browsing dozens of menus, I felt most confident dining out GF (for the first time) here. Our waitress was Desiree, and she was phenomenal. I wasn’t sure if the chips were GF or not, so I opted not to eat them. I had the Chicken Lupe Del Mar with corn tortillas - my husband had the same thing. My dad had the tortilla soup with some tacos. Our food was brought out separate, and I was extremely impressed with how many GF items were on the menu. Unless specified, everything is GF. That really put me at ease.

I’ve also had the salmon, mahi mahi, and other dishes here with seasonal veggies instead of rice. The menu really accommodates to those watching calories or who have food allergies.

Does not have the same menu as a lot of Lupe’s so no gluten free items marked. Manager said they were not set up as gluten free and wasn’t confident about being able to avoid cross contamination.

No gluten free options. Manager said he could make something, but wasn’t confident about it being safe.

Excellent gluten free service during vivid-19 take out period. Margaritas to go as well!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

These reviews must be from employees. Every time I have eaten here (three strikes you're out) I have gotten sick from cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

Really good, but sad that no dedicated fryer and thus no chips and salsa for me.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was helpful and seemed to understand gluten allergy. Almost everything on the menu is or can be made gluten free, but you'll need to ask your server whether an item is gluten free already or has to be modified. The main thing to look out for are things with flour tortillas and things that are fried (which includes the chips), as they do not have a dedicated frier.

I had the Tex-Mex enchiladas, which did not need to be modified. Great meal, no gluten reaction.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yes, Celiac Friendly! Best and safest place I've ever been! The largest selection of gluten free items I've ever seen! So much so that no separate menu is needed. Infact, there are very few items that do have gluten. The Founder had a gluten intolerant child and developed the recipees out of love!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable, plenty of options. Definitely the best Tex-mex in town, even for folks who aren’t gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Celiac friendly?

We ordered the chips baked. We tested my daughter’s food with the Nima, corn tortillas, rice and frijoles charros. Unfortunately they came back positive. She had already eaten the chips when we tested her food. She usually gets sick within 15 minutes so they appeared to be safe as she didn’t get ill, but I wouldn’t trust their food unless you are only gluten sensitive and have a higher tolerance.

Celiac friendly?

No

Mostly gf offerings on the menu. Basically only the burritos with flour tortillas are not gf. Service is hit or miss, but the food always tastes great!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All of their sauces are gluten free. If you tell them you are specifically GF they will make sure to grill the corn tortillas on a different part of the grill.

This location is not like others. They do not have a gf menu or items listed gf like most other locations. The corn tortillas and every sauce has flour per the manager. That said the manager was great and pointed me in the right direction. I had chicken fajitas with lettuce to wrap and it was good. The options here are limited.

Great selection of gluten free meals! Our waitress was super helpful in answering my questions about their menu. They even add the option to get their corn tortillas instead of the flour. The menu is clearly marked with what contains gluten. It's a little pricey but I felt like it was worth it for the menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Almost the entire menu is gluten-free!!! Unless it is marked with a wheat it is already GF or can be by getting corn tortillas. And everything is delicious!!!!!

We eat here often and it’s so mice to have many gluten-free options. I’ve never gotten sick from anything. The crab & avocado enchiladas are my absolute favorite!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I went to the Katy Grand Parkway location. The waiter was kind enough to inform me that there was a very high chance of cross contamination even if I got corn tortillas because they are made in the same location as the flour tortillas. But I was able to eat the fajitas without tortillas. I appreciated the waiter being knowledgeable and letting me know what was and wasn’t safe. I wish the menu labeled things clearly though.

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly! Menu is marked and staff was knowledgeable.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I always order the beef or chicken tacos made with CORN tortillas and black beans. Skip the chips (not GF)...I usually take my own corn chips to eat my queso with.

Chips NOT gluten free. No chip options, so bring your own chips. Beans that they serve at the table not GF. Only items listed with gluten were burritos, so you MUST ask for prep if you are celiac.

Their fajitas are amazing. The staff seemed very knowledgeable about what was GF and what was not.

Have a lot of gluten free options, but not a lot that are vegetarian. Food was really good! Chris helped our table, and was super awesome because he saved me from eating the glutened chips (they baked us special chips, can’t use the fryer). Pretty good margaritas too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have eaten Mexican food in many countries in the world.

Even in Mexico City, I’ve been able to have a very nice and tasty Mexican menu customized to my several food allergies, it’s not too complicated, just a clean pan and the good will, Mexican food is celiac friendly food!

I never imagine that here in US, where there’s enough information about how to handle special diet clients I was going to experience such a rude discrimination and even worst from the restaurant manager!

We came to your restaurant at Katy just because Trip Advisor states that this is a gluten-free options place, but this wasn’t true - confirmed by the person in charge of the restaurant who didn’t make any effort to even try to accommodate my needs.

What was I asking?! Grilled veggies with no lemon, chicken o shrimp with no wheat marinated sauce ... I would’ve been please with a guacamole made from scratch (no lemon) so I could share our Sunday’s Lunch with my familia ... BUT to that simple request He answered that the guacamole was already prepared ... he didn’t even want to take a $1 avocado and serve it ... I held my tears, not my anger because we has so rude :(

He firmly said that that is not a celiac safe place

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff was great. Most of menu can be made gf. Best corn tortillas ever

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not celiac friendly. I received my meal with chips on the plate even after informing the waiter that I was Celiac. He seemed to be clueless. Very disappointed.

Celiac friendly?

No

Best Mexican restaurant for gluten free in Katy

Staff was so knowledgeable on gluten allergy. Their chips are fried in a shared fryer so don’t eat if you are celiac. They went above and beyond to make sure we got the right food and that special care was taken for our food. The head chef came to our table to talk to us and explained the care they take our gluten allergies and answered any questions we had. All of the fajitas are 100% gluten free (the steak was our fav) and they come with corn tortillas. The fajitas were out of this world delicious! They made any special accommodations they could so our kids could get food they wanted - ex. Quesadilla on corn tortillas. We will definitely be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was a little bit worried about cross contamination because it’s so busy and the kitchen must be slammed. However, I’ve been twice in the past couple of months and didn’t have an issue either time. I played it safe and I didn’t eat any chips or dip. I ordered the steak fajitas, but didn’t get tortillas. They say the corn tortillas are GF, but I’m concerned about the possibility of cross contamination with those. The server wasn’t the most knowledgeable off the top of his head, but checked with the kitchen on a few questions and got back to me with answers (which is what I prefer instead of acting like they know when they really don’t). All around, I had great food and service both times I went. I will gladly go back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love Lupe Tortilla!! I have eaten here numerous times with no issues. I love the chips & bean dip. The chips are safe for those with Celiac Disease. Fajitas are great with corn tortillas. Highly recommend Lupe Tortilla for Tex-Mex!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We called ahead and talk to the manager to make sure they could accommodate my daughter who has multiple food allergies. He mentioned that there was seasoning with soy in the rice but that was all. Turns out they fry all the chips and soy as well as use it in their marinades and with most of their meat. So with both gluten and soy as well as other allergies, it was very hard for us to eat here. The baked chips really weren't very good as others have stated. Overall, the food was fine but the process of trying to determine what was safe took so long that we probably would not eat here again.

Staff knowledgeable, items with gluten marked on menu, I have Celiac and eat here all the time without issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fajitas are great!!! Corn tortillas are yummy :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good food! Many selections are gluten free or can be made gf. Excellent service and manager checked on our meal at the table.

I've eaten here twice--the first time was without incident, the second time I was glutened. I suspect the corn and flour tortillas all share the same cooking space. I never risked the chips.

Best corn tortillas I’ve ever had! I was sooo nervous about eating here and I thank my lucky stars I found this app.

So many gluten free options and they make sure to not cross contaminate.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff is knowledgeable, and there are lots of great gluten free options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I got glutened here, flour tortillas mixed in my fajitas

Great food and it’s great to know almost whole menu is gluten free. They say the chips and salsa/beans are gluten free, but I had some issues that evening. I don’t usually have issues after eating there, but I did have some issues this time, so I will be more careful next time, as may have some cross-contamination for that part of the meal. ******Update 8-18-18 I asked if they could baked corn chips like I had received at another Mexican restaurant and they said they could. I did have to wait about 5-10 min, but so worth the wait. I had no issues at all with cross-contamination at all today, because of this small request. Staff still very helpful and attentive to making sure a safe meal.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The corn tortillas are NOT gluten free according to the Nima sensor. The tortilla chips tested gluten free.

Excellent service, but the menu isn’t very straight forward. The way it’s marked, you think nearly entire menu is gluten free. However, that’s not the case. I assumed the chips were safe and they were not, you have to request baked tortilla chips. Just ask the necessary questions and don’t get lax.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One of the only places we can get Mexican food and feel safe. Lots of options.

All items on menu are gluten free, except a few that are marked with a gluten symbol. Best fajitas in Texas. I’m celiac, and this is my main drag for anything Mexican. Thank you so much. Stay G-Free Lupe :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This used to be one of our favorites but no longer. Service and food quality used to be excellent. Over the past few months, both seem to have declined significantly. Our recent visit was so bad that we’ve decided it will be our last.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best gluten free corn tortillas EVER!
