Review of Mi Vida Restaurante

I’m not sure why this place has so many good reviews. They cook the flour and corn tortillas on the same surface. The waiter was extremely nice, and asked the cooks so many questions about cross contamination for me. After eating the queso fundito with corn tortillas, which I was told was safe for celiacs, he told me I was not able to order any of the tacos due to the corn tortillas being cooked in the same place as the flour ones. At that point I knew I had already been glutenated, and I was extremely sick a few hours later. I ended up ordering the wings and fried plantains, which the chef said was safe. I was there with a friend that has a lot of allergies (soy, dairy, pork, beef) and she had a great time. She wasn’t able to eat anything fried due to it being cooked in soybean oil. Extremely disappointing for celiacs
