Chulita’s promise of a 100% gluten-free kitchen is a breath of fresh air for anyone living with celiac or severe gluten sensitivity—no need for the usual mental gymnastics over cross-contamination. Their menu bursts with vibrant, modern Mexican flavors (think hand-pressed tortillas, market-fresh ceviche, and those legendary pumpkin pie churros) and vegan, dairy-free, and nut-free options abound. However, some guests have been told about shared surfaces (especially the griddle used for flour burritos), so if you’re hyper-vigilant about even the faintest risk, it’s wise to clarify current prep practices with the team. Still, it’s hard not to feel a spark of relief walking into a place where you can actually relax and just enjoy your meal—now that’s rare enough to celebrate.
