El Chico

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risks exist in principle.
• Some reports from the broader El Chico ecosystem indicate that fried items or shared fryers can pose a risk, and practices may vary by location. This means asking about fryer usage and preparation surfaces is important.
• While staff and managers can guide you to safe choices, there is evidence of inconsistency in staff knowledge across locations, so proactive communication is key.
