I was looking into going to this restaurant (as I LOVE mexican food). I did not see the gluten-free menu or mention of it online, so I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager. He seemed a bit confused and did not leave me feeling very safe about eating there. So I decided against going. I was hoping to hear from someone on this forum who may have gone and had a successful gluten-free meal! If you do not mind, can you tell me how you went about eating there? Did they have actual gluten-free menu's and did you talk to the manager or chef? What did you order? Sorry for all the questions! I would love to be able to eat Mexican out at a restaurant!

Thanks!!

yes, they have a gluten-free menu, you just need to ask for it..I always get the same thing, its grilled chicken strips with grilled onions and peppers, comes out sizzling..on another dish is homemade guacamole, beans, homemade mexican rice,sour cream, lettuce, tomatos.then in a small covered dish are 4 corn burritos :blink:

I can only eat about half, i bring the rest home..you can get it with beef too i think, but i can't eat red meat

the food is all homemade and awesome!!!!

last week a young boy sat us and when I asked for the gluten-free menu he was confused, hubby went up to the older man thats always there, think its the owner, he was great and gave me my menu

my hubby gets the pork burrito..i have never seen a burrtio that big and the pork is so tender, must be 1/4 of a roast in it!!

I have an ulcer and the food is mild, never bothers me..oh ya, I ask to have cheese melted on my sizzling chicken YUM!!!!

will probably go again this weekend

sorry it took me so long to reply, my aunt died, my moms loosing her sight and i'm busy taking her places, running back and forth to her house

anyway, enjoy your meal..don't eat breakfast lol

Thanks for the info! I am moving to Mansfield in the next couple of weeks so will not be far from there. I am excited to try this place!

Sorry to hear about your aunt and your mom's vision.

Maybe I will see you at Rancho's...I will know who is hogging the gluten-free menu if it is unavailable ;)

its only about 15 mins from me :D theres also an Italian resturant in the area that has a gluten-free menu, haven't been there yet and can't remember the name :( going to try and find it now

if your ever in the Franklin area, Pepper Terrace Thai food has gluten-free food too, they don't have a separate menu, the owner and chef, nicki, will tell you what is safe. we always get the house fried rice and the pad thai, very good!

heres the list of the italian restaurants in the area

My sister and I are doing a girls night and going into Providence over Labor Day weekend and are going to try the North End Cafe in North Providence. I called and spoke to the manager. He said to just come in and ask for the gluten-free menu. He also indicated that he is working on getting the menu on their website. The only places I have eaten since going gluten-free (2.5 years ago) have been Legals, Outback and PF Changs. So I am very much looking forward to Italian and Mexican! I of course am a bit apprehensive, as eating out is always risky (and I am SUPER sensitive). Thanks for the info on the Thai restaurant!

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
