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!

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
