Celiac safety profile

Plaza Azteca

Mexican Restaurant

12099 Jefferson Ave, Newport News, VA 23606

🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Fajitas served with corn tortillas
  • Tacos made with corn tortillas
  • Tortilla chips prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer (as reported by some staff and diners)

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination remains a possibility in theory.
  • There are conflicting reports about sauces and salsas, with at least one recent account noting that some sauces may be unsafe and limiting choices to dry tacos or fajitas.
  • Fryer practices appear mixed in the most recent anecdotes: some guests report dedicated GF fryers for chips, while other accounts warn chips can be fried in shared oil. Expect variability and verify fryer usage when placing orders.
  • Overall, recent evidence leans toward workable GF options, but with non-negligible risk depending on the item and kitchen practices on the day of dining.
