So good! So many choices! My friend and I came here on a Wednesday evening and it was packed. We were seated at the bar quickly. Lucas was our server and he was awesome! I have to be careful about what I eat, since I’m gluten free. Lucas was knowledgeable and assured me that what I was ordering wouldn’t make me sick. As he put it “welcome home” 😂 The drinks were amazing and the tacos were fantastic. Charles came over at some point to help other customers and he was super attentive to them as well. We’ll definitely be back!

Visit this place a few times a month, as it’s our favorite restaurant for date night. My wife has gluten and dairy allergies and I can eat pretty much anything, and we both have plenty of options. My absolute favorite is the mushroom taco as well as the glazed pork belly and Baja fish taco! Don’t sleep on the street corn either. Tastes just as good as getting them from a guy making them out of his cooler on the streets of El Paso (I passed through El Paso on our way to Disneyland and this guy had a crowd surrounding him). Plantains are a nice sweet treat. Definitely check out their secret tacos!

We’ve been here a few times to get food before concerts in Bridgeport. Great food with GF options clearly marked

Andrea Stone

What a little gem! The vibe was good. The food was tasty. There are lots of gluten free options. The customer service was friendly. I'll be back!

Gluten-free eaters, beware. I have Celiac Disease. I can’t have gluten, full stop. When I walked into Red 36, I saw a sign on the wall identifying not only the 9 major food allergies, but also the safe handling practices a kitchen should follow for each one. Great! This is a sign that tells people with intolerances that we will be taken care of here. Once seated, I told the waitress about my intolerance, and she immediately brought me a gluten-free menu. Another good sign. I ordered the gluten-free tuna burger, which (according to the gluten-free menu) is supposed to omit the bun, fries, and anything else containing gluten. When my plate came out with fries, I knew something was off. I asked the waitress, and she apologized, confirmed that the fries were not gluten-free and offered to bring me a side salad instead. Separately, I started eating the tuna, but was surprised to find (buried beneath the fish and a pile of coleslaw) crispy egg noodles. I stopped eating and again asked the waitress if my order was gluten free. She returned to the kitchen and informed me that, (1) the crispy noodles were not gluten free, (2) despite having apparently put “gluten free” on my order, the whole meal was not gluten free, (3) the same thing happened at the table next to ours, despite having notified the kitchen accordingly. So, having unknowingly eaten gluten, I now have to wait out a week or more of painful symptoms of my Celiac Disease. I expect a lot more from restaurants that purport to exercise care for people with food allergies. It’s one thing if a kitchen is not equipped to cook according to dietary restrictions—I can manage my expectations. It is quite another when a restaurant is equipped to safely serve people with intolerances, communicates this to the patrons, and then fails to do so twice in a matter of an hour. There’s a lot of trust I have to put into restaurants, and I regret doing so in this instance. I’m beyond grateful that my intolerance doesn’t send me into anaphylaxis. I hope that, wherever the breakdown happened between ordering and serving, it gets resolved before other folks with food intolerances get sick. TL;DR gluten free diners, proceed with caution.

Food was fresh and flavorful as always! Love this place and will be back again. We travel from south windsor for their great food. I have a gluten allergy and they offer a large variety of options for me. See ya soon and keep up the great work!

William Parker

Good food, great atmosphere, and gluten free friendly!

Hal Tenbrink

The food was lovely! I will definitely go again as I even prefer their burrito to Chipolte which happens to be right across the street. Although it seemed like one of those places where the staff are always scowling or in a bad mood. I understand that they are doing a lot of work and perhaps for minimum wage, but when the staff of a restaurant act like they don't want to be there it simply makes visitors feel unwelcome and nervous. The restaurant was clean and food was made properly as ordered even when someone in my party had to ask for an accommodation to a gluten allergy.

One of the best restaurant my family, friends, and I have tried. Phenomenal food, vibe, and service, including outstanding gluten free options!

Bill Davidson

What a fantastic spot. Justin was our server and he was simply exceptional. Great beer selection and the food came out piping hot. Gluten free buns available and eggplant fries were gluten free.

Jordana Costa

Gluten free options are great

Matthew Avina

My work caters this for gluten free/intolerant people and damn I almost faked a disability to get a chance at these

I was hesitant to go to Rio Bravo last night for my birthday based on some bad reviews here but I decided to ignore them and I’m so glad I did! One in particular tears this place apart and that didn’t match my experience at all. We had so much fun!! I love the festive feel of the decor, the food was great and everyone is really nice! I had vegetable fajitas with shrimp added and they helped my friend who is gluten and dairy free choose the shrimp dish she chose. We also had the table-side guacamole which was delicious. I’m looking forward to going back soon!

Great spot for great eats!!! My family and I enjoyed a burrito bowl, some tacos, and a gordita. All was great. My wife has a gluten intolerance and was happy to find many options available to her. If you like it spicy, just ask. Try the pickled beets, earthy, sweet. and just the right amount of "kick". They are also a BYOB facility with a package store a few steps away

Jenn Paktinat

Delicioso! As a sensitive celiac, I struggle to find authentic cuisine and Chicho's consistently checks all the boxes! Always fresh ingredients, always follow through on my nit-picky order notes and just so so delicious! My dairy-free partner is also happily obsessed. If you're on the fence, give them a try! I haven't been to the restaurant to eat yet, just take out, but you can bet that's next!

Ariana Frank

Fantastic restaurant! So many gluten free options, the fresh corn tortillas make a huge difference. Wonderful cocktail selection with a really impressive selection of mezcal. The vibe was fun and I’ll definitely be back!

Dutch T

Delicious roadside eatery. In addition to the traditional fare like hot dogs and burgers, they offer a nice variety of vegetarian and gluten free options. Reasonably priced for the area.

Miguel C

I love Acapulcos. Always fast and friendly service. Great selection of gluten-free dishes. Food is delicious

Dave

This place was great from start to finish, they have an amazing happy hour, and all their entrees are appropriately priced. The atmosphere is great from the bar to the rooftop. The best food we have had in The area by far! Also 95 percent of the menu is gluten free for all you celiacs out there. Just a wonderful experience and can’t wait to go back!

Jess Roux

Eat for gluten free in a pinch!

Hana Appel

Update from August 2024: still same but my order was supposed to have refried black beans and it didn’t. Did not have time to send it back. Server was nice. Still not a ton of vegetarian options but it seems they alter to make something vegetarian. Not sure if the gluten-free food is safe for celiacs. Loved it and would go back. Portions are large. Appetizer portion was enough for an entree for me. We went on a quiet early weekday lunch. One negative is the loud music and too many TV screens on the wall but maybe no such screens in the other section of the restaurant.

Jerry Albert

Our vegan and gluten free meal options were correctly served. Staff was friendly. Fast forward 3 years. Upon arrival at drive thru , we were confronted with an unreadable unlit menu board, so our orders were not as precise as we would have liked. My fish was tender and juicy inside once I got through the hard and overcooked breading exterior.

Rachel Neu LMT

Great place and delicious food! All of the tacos are gluten free!

Ashley Smith

I can't rate the food because we weren't given the chance to order. We walked in an hour before close and were told by the manager, hey, we close in an hour, so we don't really want you using the dining room. Needless to say we turned around and walked back out. In the meantime, because my husband left first, the manager started to say something to Daniel, noticed me watching him, and probably wisely stopped talking until I too was out of the building. Too bad. I was excited to try the gluten free options. Customer service needs work.
