Beyond Terrible, on behalf of all Celiac's please don't promote a Gluten Free menu if your staff are not trained. I was recommended this restaurant on a recent business trip. As a Chef and Celiac I was excited to experience this Gluten Friendly / Free Farm to Table Mexican Restaurant. Myself and a Colleague dined at your restaurant upon seating we had a discussion with a very pleasant waitress on the items that were Gluten Free on the menu, the waitress pointed out the symbols and even clarified on beverages when asked. We ordered a number of small plates the first of which as stated on the menu was Ensalada Picada |gluten free, lactose-free | chopped organic romaine lettuce, organic avocado, organic red onion, crispy tortillas, grilled nopales (cactus), chipotle dressing.

A number of dishes followed however this is where my meal began and ended. I took a bite of the salad and noticed a familiar crunch and flavor. Knowing my reaction to Gluten I spoke to my colleague about it. We both looked at the tortilla strips in the salad and determined that they were flour. A Young lady with green hair was bussing the table next to ours, she overheard our conversation and asked if there was a problem. Explaining yes and why she continued to dispute that the tortilla strips couldn’t be flour as there was no such thing as flour tortillas. I am a professional Chef as is the colleague who dined with me that evening, In my career I have only ever stated my profession when talking about dining and standards a handful of times. However after the explanation given above I explained that both people at the table are chefs, her response was ‘yes I am too as is the person in the kitchen” at this point I asked if we could see the packaging, her manager came out and explained that the corn tortillas are 2 different thickness, again I asked to see the packaging. Around 5 minutes later a Manager respectfully removed the dish and apologized. For the contamination and comped the meal. We left Hungry and unwell, throwing up on multiple occasions .
