My fiancé and I stopped here on a road-trip, she is a celiac so it was a pleasant surprise that they had a separate gluten free/celiac friendly menu. We both had the Steak Guadalajara with the ribeye instead of the sirloin and it was worth every penny. It was the best meal we’ve had in a restaurant in years and we were talking about how fantastic it was for days afterwards. The service was also very attentive and friendly, even though our server was still training he was an absolute gem and made a great experience even better. So if you ever stop in Tucumcari, try Del’s it was more than worth it for us!
Tasty food and a clean establishment! I'm gluten free due to some reaction symptoms, but not a diagnosed Celiac. My family chose this restaurant from Trip Advisor as we were passing through because of vegan and gluten free recommendations. I think the food may be cooked on a shared grill (really not sure), but I can say I had no reaction myself. People far more sensitive than me might want to eat one of their beautiful salads or discuss further with the staff. The menu doesn't specify gluten free anywhere, but the staff are very friendly and accommodating and the food is simple enough I think they can make you something. I ordered the "Kari" and my mother (also sensitive) ordered Huevos Rancheros without the flour tortilla on the side. Both cooked to perfection! We loved the food and would definitely go here again on our next trip through the area.
Tucumcari is in a sort of gluten free dead zone for travelers. I am very happy to have found this gem! You should visit!
