Willy's Mexicana Grill

I need to eat out today for lunch and the only place in the food court that looks remotely safe is Willy's Mexicana Grill. I have tried to call Corporate but have not heard back. The local shop manager was not too helpful or interested.

Anyone know anything about this place? I used to eat there pre-Celiac but have not been back since.

Thanks!

I've never eaten there, but found their website. There is no mention of gluten-free, even in their menu section. Unless you can recieve a response from their Corporate office or someone who's had experience with them, I don't know if I'd consider it safe (yet). I don't know if you'd want to make the trip out there to find out if they can cater to your dietary needs.

Well I spoke to someone in corporate and it seems that they MAY have some items that are gluten free, but I'll need to stop into the local shop during off hours to read some labels.

One note in their favor the meats are all fresh and marinated on premisis with marinades and rubs they make which sound safe. Clearly more research is needed, but it sounds hopeful.

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.
