So i have a work lunch this week at the new branch of Dos Caminos (NYC chain restaurant). I plan to stop by and talk to them about whether i can eat anything there but was wondering if anyone here has successfully eaten at one and has any good advice. I tend to stay away from Mexican restaurants because i find it difficult to order there, so any advice would be greatly appreciated! (either about the specific restaurant or mexican in general)

Thanks!

Hey honey!! I haven't eaten there, but I've heard they are very accomodating and know of other gluten free people that have had success at the one on Park.

I was looking at the menu for the new one the other day, and the enchiladas looked like they had potential.

Let me know how it goes.

It's funny you mention Dos Caminos! I am going with friends next friday! I had the same concern. Did you go? How was it?

Well, we ended up postponing until December 1 b/c everyone was so crazy this week, so that gives me a little more time. I havent had a chance yet to ask them about the menu but i work in the building so i really have no excuse! I will try to stop by this week and ask about the menu-- are you going this fri, as in the day after thanksgiving? I will try to get some info for you before then

Jillian, i was thinking the enchiladas had potential, but i always worry about mexican... i'm glad you have heard good things though. i'll let you guys know what they say!

I am going this Friday (the fri after thanksgiving) :) Whatever you can find out would be great! I am going with five non-gluten-free people so we are going regardless. I am also going to Rosa Mexicano on Dec 12th. I have never been so I am hoping there are things I can eat. I am going with 9 other people from work. The girl who invited me after the fact said "well there probably really isn't anything you can eat there but we are still going" and then gave me the option of backing out but made it seem like I would be the world's biggest kill-joy if I did. You would think people would be a little more understanding.

Oh I went to Rosa Mexicano!! I actually went as part of my bachleorette party. I was pretty newly diagnosed at that time and so it was little tough (one of my bridesmaids was really pissing me off because she kept bothering me about where I wanted to go, and at that time I'd only been diagnosed for a couple months. I kept telling her I didn't want to eat out, but she kept insisting. I figured that would be a fun place and I could find stuff). I don't remember what I got but fortunately one of my other friends that was with us has another friend that is celiac and she helped me. The food was really great and I had no problems.

I did go to Dos Caminos. The food was great. I had seafood ceviche and tuna crusted with avocado and iced cream for dessert. The waitress was extremely understanding and friendly and I had no problem at all. Sorry for the late reply, I was away this weekend and had jury duty all day. :(

Sorry i have been so mia - i've been insanely busy but we FINALLY went to dos caminos today - the food was great and the waiter was super helpful. All i had to say was the word gluten and she knew immediately what i needed to avoid and what i could eat. The food was great! Service was SLOOOOOOOOOW but otherwise it was a great experience!!

I went to Dos Caminos today (the one on 3rd Ave.) for my goodbye lunch today at work.

It was very good and the staff was really, really knowlegable about gluten. When we sat down, I told the waitress I was allergic to anything with wheat or flour and she said, "oh is it a gluten allergy?" I said yes and she told me what on the menu I could have and told me but if there was something else that I wanted they could probably modify it.

I had lobster tacos on corn tortillas. They were delicous!

I didn't eat the chips because they looked like they had definately been thrown in the fryer. I was going to ask but didn't bother.

I actually just had iced tea because I was there for a goodbye work lunch, so it wasn't really appropriate. (Ok that and we were having margaritas in the office at 4:00 for someone's birthday - lol)!

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
