Wahaca

Food was standard Mexican chain restaurant - ok and reasonably priced. Once I identified myself as celiac, a manager came over to take my order and explain the precautions that would be taken. There is a separate GF menu that (unusually) is divided into two - food suitable for celiacs and food suitable for those with a gluten intolerance. There is not a dedicated fryer and so and fried foods were in they latter category. It was clear the restaurant took gluten seriously and I felt safe eating there.

We are here the other day and there were 0 problems.

The food was amazing and the staff was super nice!

They knew about celiac and they cook gluten-free food separately. They do cook some things in a shared frier but it is said in the menu really clearly which ones they are and that there may be cross-contamination on those ones. So there is no need to worry about cross-contamination with the other food!

Totally recommend going here because the food was the best. (It was a bit spicy but not a lot) 5/5

They were very thorough and careful regarding allergies/celiac. They had a full gluten free menu and labeled my order as allergy. Very safe and comforting!

Separate gluten free menu, they take it seriously. Eaten here many times without any problems

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went for lunch. Met the standards of the chain which is very focused on gluten allergies. GF isn’t marked on the main menu but there is a dedicated sub-menu showing the GF options and the risk of contamination options (mostly deep fried options). Employees take allergies very (almost too) seriously. The available food appears to be exactly the same as non-GF, only marked. Really enjoyed it here.

I had a great experience eating here. I told the server I was celiac. He brought a gluten free menu and had the manager come and specifically help me with my order. The food was tasty and marked with a flag that said “Allergy”.

Great range of options and everything is clearly labelled. They ask if you have an allergy and add little allergy flags to the food so you can be sure they’ve made sure your meal is allergen free specifically.

We had guac and chips, chicken tacos and beef tacos. All was delicious - potentially a bit on the smaller side for portions for the price but was tasty regardless!

Gluten "sensitive" menu available BUT if you're actually celiac (like me), read carefully, as they do list cross-contaiminated items (ie. gluten free potatoes that are cooked in a fryer that gluten items have also been fried in).

That said: my tacos and salsa flyte with chips were excellent and the mango/habernero sauce is addictive 😊
