Ruta Oaxaca Mexican Cuisine - Patchogue

It was not what I expected. The food was tasty, portions were good. Based on some of the prices, I thought it would be more upscale. The atmosphere is casual, which is great - now that I know what to expect. I especially appreciated being able to order gluten-free foods.

Lots of gluten free appetizers and entre options, but I can't tell you which ones. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the menu does not indicate what can be made gluten free; let alone what is, by default, gluten free. They were very good about going to the kitchen (unfortunately multiple times) to find out; at first they thought the cheese might be the issue. The food was great and the portions large (not cheap). They have corn tortillas and at least one dessert was gluten free (the coffee flan). Be careful about ordering the $8.50 bottle of flat water rather than tap water.
