Anyone Know About On The Border?

[jabberwife]

I went today for lunch, felt I was safe with the taco salad (didn't eat anywhere near the bowl) with chicken, it had tortilla strips on it that were obviously corn and jalapeno vinagrette dressing. I suspect either the tortilla chips or the dressing....because I'm again feeling bloated, crampy......already. Does anyone know anything about On The Border and their habits?

They do not have dedicated fryers for thier chips. That was most likely the culprit.

That could be it. Also, I was asking my dad (a celiac--dx'd for more than 10 years now) and he said he'd been glutened by tortilla strips from other restaurants. Apparently some tortilla strips for salads and such are a flour/corn blend. Who would do that to us!!!??! Oh well. Next time, I'm just eating the salad. No corn anything. I don't even like On the Border that much anyawy....

jabberwife,

i love on the border and i ate there the other day. they don't have dedicated fryers, so there could be cc and the waitress warned me about that. but they do have a gluten-free menu and when i ate there, i ordered the chicken fajitas or something with no sour cream and corn tortillas (which were obviously from the freezer). i enjoyed it. i didn't get sick, though...

sorry you did

My two sons and I who both have celiac disease also ate at On the Border yesterday. So far I haven't had any problems, the waiter brought us corn tortillas which were very good and we had fajitas.
