Celiac safety profile

Mexican Restaurant
24 Washington Square, Newport, RI 02840, United States
What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free tortilla chips (chips) prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer
- Nachos (chips and toppings) prepared with gluten-free considerations
- Fried fish and shrimp prepared gluten-free (battered in corn masa)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant does not advertise a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact remains a consideration, even with strong precautions.
- Several reviews note that allergy orders are marked and that kitchen staff are alerted, which is positive, but guests should still communicate clearly and confirm that their specific meal is prepared with gluten-free handling.
- The menu isn’t consistently labeled as GF in all reports, so diners may need to double-check with staff about which items are GF and how they’re prepared.
- Noting that a few items are explicitly non-GF (e.g., certain quesadillas or desserts) helps set expectations and reduce risk.
