This is strange, but I feel compelled to warn anyone who will get sick from wheat and gluten. I had eaten at this restaurant with the understanding that it was “dedicated gluten-free”, an exceptionally high standard for food safety for celiacs and others who are very sensitive to wheat. The food tasted great! Unfortunately, this is not longer safe, no longer “dedicated gluten-free”, as in, the kitchen prepares wheat ingredients now after having previously kept them out of the kitchen. The weirdness is that there’s no communication about this on the menu or in person. I got the info from a gluten-free guide. When I’ve been to Los Cilantros, I’ve talked about it with the staff: “So glad this place is gluten-free and safe for me!” I guess they don’t understand that somebody could be seriously ill for a few weeks from this surprise.
Suggestion: add a poster advising “not a gluten-free kitchen”.
Modern eatery with a separate gluten-free prep area and a varied gluten-free menu featuring soft white corn tacos and burritos.

The food was really good. Flavorful and good sized portions. Nice assortment of options. Great for gluten-free people. (And good veggie options as well.) Fried yucca was delish.
