Mexican Restaurant

26 Free St, Portland, ME 04101

🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Chips (explicitly described as safe; widely noted as GF when prepared in a dedicated GF fryer)

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists in theory.
  • Several reports emphasize a dedicated gluten-free fryer and careful handling (gloved changes, separate frying for GF items), which reduces risk for fried foods.
  • Not every item is GF by default; burritos and some flour-tortilla-based dishes are not GF, and the menu often marks items containing gluten.
  • There is at least one documented experience where a diner with celiac reported a reaction after dining, underscoring that risk cannot be dismissed entirely.
