Gluten-Free at Rosa's Café & Tortilla Factory
Mexican Restaurant
They have an allergen menu for gluten. They will stick two Tortilla chips in the refried beans as decoration unless you ask them not to.
If you have food allergies do not eat here.
I eat here often and the food I order is gluten free. I always get the 3 taco plate with rice and beans. I think that’s the only GF item.
I ordered a Mexican plate after consulting the gluten free menu. I got glutened…. Not super bad but definitely some cross contamination.
Manager knew how to print out allergen menu. Staff were accommodating but uneducated.
The enchilada corn tortillas are dipped in fryer oil so ask for it to be dry.
Order wasn’t correct but the part I could eat was good.
I went in, expecting there to be gluten free options because I saw a good review on here. I went in and the guy at the counter had zero idea what gluten was- said maybe I could eat beans and salad and laughed at me asking about gluten free options. We left without ordering.
Mexican restaurants can usually serve gf items without cross contamination. I was given a printout of gf items but not willingly. I didn’t ask enough questions ahead of time, and ended up not eating because all of the corn tortillas for tacos were cooked in the same fryer as flour. Staff was not helpful, and certainly didn’t care if they had my business or not. The gal I was with is not celiac, but said the food was not very good so I didn’t miss out. In fact, she left most of hers.
NO GF FOOD! Menu has lots of choices, but other than risking a taco or chips, nothing safe is available to eat. The establishment did not even know what "Gluten-Free" meant. Shoulder shrugs all around.
Cashier printed the gluten free menu for me right at the register. Staff was very helpful and glad to answer questions. Food tasted great! I am not celiac, just have gluten intolerance, but I felt fine after the meal
They were able to print off a list of items that could be done GF, but everything has an asterisk about cross-contamination. I did not feel safe enough to order anything
I am not sure who suggested rosas as a gf establishment. You should know the beans and rice are fried in the same fryer as sopalpillas and taco bowls- both flour tortillas. Same for the chips and taco shells. I guess if you do soft tacos, you might be safer there. However, the fajita seasoning has msg and I’m not sure about their taco meat or shredded chicken. Guacamole and queso aren’t made in house so you would need to ask about those ingredients.
I was told their queso and their ground beef tacos were glutten free.
I had a stomach ache a little later in the day, might have been from cross contamination.
Was told the fajita plate would be gluten free after explaining my allergy. Plate came out with a big fried flour tortilla on top. Won’t be back.
Beef Fajitas aren’t gluten free
Everything in the fryer is cross-contaminated. The only celiac friendly item to eat is a side of beans.
I took advice from a fellow reviewer and ordered the tamale plate with queso instead of chili, told em to keep the chip and tortillas....I got the melted Hershey squirts a few hours after eating😳😳🤔🤔I’m not celiac and am thinking it was bad tamales so imma give em a holler
Rosa’s everywhere always the best!
The manager printed us a gluten-free menu to review but said there was no dedicated kitchen space. This is a tortilla factory so flour is floating throughout the entire kitchen. We didn’t think it was worth the risk even though the staff tried to accommodate.
Rosa’s is not GF. I thought I could order tacos with soft corn tortillas and be safe BUT last time I went through drive thru for the family I told them I needed my meal to be gluten free and the girl informed me that the corn tortillas pass through he same tortilla warmer as the flour tortillas. Ugh! Cross contact with gluten containing food is a problem for me as I have celiac disease. So anyone else with celiac or very sensitive to gluten, Beware!
they don’t have any gluten-free meals
This place is totally not gluten free
My mom and I both have celiacs, and neither of us have ever been sick eating there.
Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. I've eaten there several times and never been sick afterward. Try the crunchy chicken tacos. Yum!
Favorite tacos in town. I eat here almost every week for Taco Tuesday and I have never gotten sick. I stick with the crispy tacos or the fiesta salad, all the salsas are GF. Just skip the flour tortillas.
The owner has a grandchild who needs to be gluten free. We eat here regularly because they have been able to steer us to items where we can use a corn tortilla vs. wheat and articulate what menu items are gluten free. It is not a gluten free facility, but we have never had a problem eating here. The food is fresh and tastey and you can't beat the price.
Good is good BUT I've had a reaction 2 out of 3 times.
basically a fast food Mexican resteraunt with better decor. W ask about the refried beans and we're told they were not gluten free. they have chips and salsa like most Mexican resteraunt but you pay extra for them! Worst of all, the cashier did not know,what was,gluten free it not
Though they aren't celiac friendly if you can have soy this is an option.
Management really has no idea about cross contamination. When I go here (not by choice) with friends I eat fajita chicken and guac nothing else. I believe the manager said I could not have the vegetables because they are cooked with ingredients containing gluten
Their fajitas (beef and chicken) are gf and delicious! You have to check if their corn tortillas are fried with the sopapillas or not. It's a tasty place for fast Mexican food.
The tamales topped with queso instead of chili were excellent. Glad there is a fast, easy, inexpensive gluten free friendly Mexican place in Rockwall now!
Decent cheaper mexican food. I usually get a tamale platter with queso on top instead of the chili, with double beans instead of the beans and rice. Then I ask them to leave off the chip and the side of tortillas. There honestly is a higher chance of CC here since the staff are more into speed and such, but it is pretty easy to tell if something not GF was put on your tamales. If you go through the drive through, the food makers actually hear your order and get it right every time that way, since they hear you say leave off the chip and tortillas. Just check your meal before you drive away.

Food is good and quick. My husband is sensitive to a lot if foods and they are happy to adjust his meals as needed.
Just opened! Wonderful tamales and beans.
